My husband hates to go shopping, especially for new clothing and/or accessories. He hates it so much, that he usually just tells me what he wants and asks me to get it for him. On top of that, he’s a very casual guy and ONLY gets dressed up for business meetings, for church and special events. Other than that, you’ll find my man wearing jeans and a t-shirt.
A few weeks ago he comes to me and tells me that he wants a new casual belt…one that would be perfect for everyday wear. He didn’t want anything fancy and just wanted a genuine men’s leather belt in the color black. Plus, it needed to fit his new belt buckle that I got him for Christmas.
Needless to say, dumb me tramps out to the local mall to try to find him the perfect belt. Well, the majority of the men’s belts that I found were too dressy for him. The few that I did find in the “casual style” were way too expensive. I mean really? I’m not paying $50.00 + for a leather casual belt. Sorry Charlie, I’m too frugal for that.
The next day I got online and went over to Amazon to see what they had. Within 15 minutes I had found the perfect item and I didn’t have to leave my house to get it. Gosh, I love shopping like that!
I picked up the Genuine Leather Belt Strap (without belt buckle) from Amazon for less than $15.00 and it was on Amazon Prime, so I didn’t have to pay any shipping. Three days later it arrived to our home and Wow…his new leather belt was even better than I expected!
It’s available in 2 different color choices, in 4 different sizes and his new belt buckle snaps on & off of it easily, no tools required when attaching the buckle! I only buy genuine cowhide leather men’s belts for him, because he’s pretty hard on his belts. Faux leather belts never last him very long, so genuine leather is the way to go (for us).
If any of you are frustrated when it comes to shopping for casual men’s belts and tired of not finding what you need or finding what you need at an unacceptable price point, then you need to check out the one that I purchased for my husband. (yes, I purchased it and no, this isn’t a pro-bono review).

I always had trouble buying belts for my husband at stores. He never wanted to go shopping. I too would do what you did and go online to find a belt.
My husband hates to go shopping too. I have a couple of outlet stores nearby that I shop at for him. Nearby is important because I always have to exchange something.
If you shop around as you diid, leather belts are not bad in price. Hubby wears bets too, and I have found them very reasonably on sites and then picked up a new buckle. Oftentimes, he uses the old buckle. I think my husband is very picky , he keeps his belts if he likes them until they are almost falling apart!
