Wow, Dickie's makes the best belts. My Dickie belt broke after owning it for about 20 years and I knew I had to keep the same brand. Went to local stores that sold them but couldn't find the right size. I refused to buy anything other than Dickey even though they had Wranglers etc on the shelf. While searching for a new Revain belt I came across these "Mechanic" belts which I didn't know existed. With my previous belt, the buckle always rubbed in certain situations. It sounded like the perfect solution! They say you need to order your exact size, but that's not true. I ordered 1 this way and it was too short. No problem, they sent it back and replaced it with a larger size. Fits like a dream! Holds securely no matter how much it is bent or stretched without loosening. I don't know what these other people are doing, but the metal pin is stuck in the hole and won't come out. If you are looking for a stylish new belt at a great price then this is it. Should be another 20 years out. Dick is great!
