Would this belt go with dark blue jeans?

    If you like the belt, wear it. Quit worrying about what other people think.

    I never do.

    When I read the description for the belt, I came across this phrase, "It is finished with black-varnished edging for a sleek touch."

    That is a huge red flag!

    It means that the belt is chrome tanned and will probably start falling apart in a few years, and will certainly look like crap long before then.

    If you care about getting your money's worth, you should look for a full grain, vegetable tanned leather belt. Something that will last a lifetime, and develop a rich patina as time goes on.

    Not a fan of the buckle. It looks trendy, and might be out of fashion, in a few months. Kind of like those overpriced Versace Medusa Head buckles.
    I would go with a more classic look.

    I don't know about the belt, but the model looks stoned. :shocked029:

    I'm weird about products if a seller thinks so little about their product that they would market it that way; I don't buy it.

    This is more my style ...

    I try not to be a billboard for any company, but that's just me.

    If you like it ... go for it. :)

    Yes, and it's vegetable-tanned, as you said is better :)

    My only concern is that I currently wear size 38, but went for 36 (as I plan to lose some weight). However, I am afraid of it being too big after I loose that weight.

    Oh, I have one of these. I just don't want to ruin the belt leather.

    You can always shorten belts...it is a bit tougher to lengthen them.

    Thanks. I think it will be fine in the long run. The most I'll do (if it becomes necessary) is to add 1-2 more belt holes with that tool.
