Men's Tommy Bahama Casual Leather Belt just arrived and is on my desk for review. This is a 100% soft leather belt that does not need to be broken in. I tried it on and it fits comfortably and feels good. The first strap attachment hole is 3 Β½ inches from the tapered end of the strap. I'm glad I ordered size 38 due to the space up to the first notch on the belt. In fact, as part of the ad, we're told to add a size to make sure the belt fits. If you have a 36" waist, order a 38" belt. I just measured the width of the belt and it is 1 3/8" slightly wider than some of my belts. The belt buckle is big and simple, nothing fancy here. The photos on Revain are accurate and show the belt as is. Conclusion: This simple genuine soft Italian leather belt looks great, but don't forget to add a size to make sure it fits as recommended by the belt manufacturer. highlighted.
