Totally agree. These belts are fantastic and reasonably priced. You can just feel the quality in the belt buckles and I love the ratcheting system. And props to you for promoting this company without being paid. That is SUPER rare here on KZbin. :)

[@hard-road9724]

John. Thank you for the time spent for your thoughtful perception of men’s fashion. You help connect the dots.

[@40OverFashion]

Thank you!

[@EchoSigma6]

Next to Dr. Berg, you are my most influential KZbin personality. I’ve followed your advice from fashion to skin care. Thanks to you, I have a clue on fashion and now my kids think I’m pretty cool. I just subscribed to your channel and I will be looking forward to your upcoming productions. Thank you for all your work.

[@40OverFashion]

Thank you for your kind words James!

[@deannoble673]

Not the first time seeing these belts reviewed and I think it’s about time I pulled the trigger. As ever I really enjoy the content you’re putting out. Keep up the good work 👍🏻

[@40OverFashion]

Thanks Dean!

[@Chibster83]

Just ordered one to try! Love the blend of fashion, function, and technology.

[@40OverFashion]

You’ll love it Jeff!

[@AlainCorona]

I got mine yesterday thanks to this video. They look great!

[@joemizz11]

John. First of all wanted to say Thank you so much for your style tips, very cool to see what is appropriate to wear now, just hit 50 so I’ve just realized I can’t be wearing Nike shirts and jeans anymore like I used to. Loved the Chino style video. I’m checking out this belt now. Could you think about a video show casing button down shirts, long sleeve and short sleeve for us men in the East Coast. Again Thank you. I’m enjoying it

[@40OverFashion]

Thank you for watching, and for the great suggestions!

[@thejohnson9204]

Just purchased 3 of these belts. Thanks for the advice mate.

[@cannondale97]

This is just what i needed. Thanks!

Anson, where have you been all my life! Way to go buddy! Gettin me sum Anson.

[@40OverFashion]

Thanks! You'll love it!

[@briannorris33]

Great belt! I recently lost weight and all my belts are too big. I love that these belts aren't specific sizes. They fit well. I often loosen and tighten the belt throughout the day according to what I'm doing and how I'm feeling. The belts also look awesome. I get compliments constantly. I've bought belts for more money that didn't look this good.

[@AssembledStyle]

I picked up all the essential colors from anson and I love them! next up are the nylon straps

[@40OverFashion]

Yes! The cool thing is, they have tons of color and material options.

[@eyeheartsushi2212]

I have a 3 straps and 2 buckles from Anson Belt. Won them in a giveaway on Antonio’s channel. I absolutely love them and plan to buy more straps and buckles.

[@robertcollins7008]

I own 2 Anson belts and totally love them.

[@artflorez1568]

I will have to try one of these next time I buy a belt. I have been wearing the Kore Essentials belt because they have a style that, at first glance, looks like a traditional dress belt. I wear suits to work and I'm very particular about my belts and shoes. I only wear lace-up shoes and traditional dress belts with suits. Kore has a buckle that gives me a dress belt look. I have about eight of their belts so not sure I will be looking for another one soon, but I will definitely look at Anson for casual belts.

[@acornsucks2111]

I bought one of these belts, and love it!

[@blaed011]

Hey John awesome content keep it up. May I suggest a few ideas for videos, one being wallets. Give a review on some cool wallets. Another idea is give your thoughts on how to mix and match, or for that matter what is the rule with brown shoes and the color belt to wear. Do you need to wear brown with brown for example... The question is for more of a work environment, business casual. Thanks!

[@stephamag]

Best belts ever. I've got 3 different models. Good videos 👍

[@anthonyrivera3616]

Totally agree with you. Replaced all my belts with these as well.

[@40OverFashion]

Yes! Love these belts!

[@1533ramsay]

I live these belts. Very fair in pricing... Went to website..Why would I buy micro vs leather? I believe you said in the vid the micro feels like leather... I'm buying the mix and match box... Also, I was looking for how the concealed carry works. No description. Can you do a video on what you purchased. I hate making decisions. I'll just go with what you have...lol

[@alanhall7058]

Great post!!! thanks!

[@40OverFashion]

Thank you Alan!

[@robertallen6074]

I enjoy all your videos. It is nice to see someone making style videos for men who are in there 50s since I am 53 years old. Anson belts are nice belts but I prefer the Kore Essentials trackline belt as I feel the leather is of higher quality and just as stylish and will last longer.

[@alexmz123]

Robert Allen does kore essentials have a website?

I have several slide belts, both anson as well as other brands. They are great. I will say anson has the largest selection.

[@40OverFashion]

I love these things!

[@mikea8200]

I have the kore belt brand and its the best belt I've ever used. It's also the only belt I use. Wear it every day.

[@acornsucks2111]

I finally got around to ordering.

[@duanebonini2381]

John Thanks again for the tips. I have pulled the trigger on three of these now because of your videos. It would be good to do a shirt review mention above and is there anywhere in town to buy quality clothes / shoes?

[@40OverFashion]

Nice Duane, you’re gonna love them! Thanks for the suggestions!

[@suckgames]

Hello I did the same thing as you, I threw all my belts and replaced them with these track belts. What do you think of the no-belt look though? I think it can be very elegant.

[@muhammadsheraz4487]

Yeah, Great informative video and Channel. God bless you. Love and respect from Pakistan. 🌹🌹🌹

[@bjmartinphotography]

4 of 5 of my track belts are Ansons.

[@stevelingle6953]

Try Kore belts they're outstanding! In my opinion the best belt and buckle on the market at any price. I now have three of these sets and these are the only belts I wear...

[@johnjames218]

i have been using the same belts for ages now

[@todorelojconfernando]

Ok now I have to have 3 black, brown, and blueish, thanks 🙋‍♂️

[@ttop64]

After dealing with a watch band the other day that needed a hole in between two holes to fit correctly on my wrist I think we should convince the folks at Anson to make adjustable watch bands. I would buy them in a heart beat.

[@40OverFashion]

Haha!

[@asally2150]

Nice review. What is the exact color of the belt you were putting on with the jeans. Congnac or Saddle tan?! Thanks

[@justinr482]

Both my anson buckles broke at 6 months use so the warranty came in handy. But to be honest the leather quality is not good on these.

[@Redhookguy2000]

Do these belts ever go in sale? Or have a coupon code?

[@buzmcg]

I ordered Anson Belts this weekend because of your recommendation. After ordering, I realized that I had ordered without using your link. I wanted them to know that I ordered strictly because of your video. I had never heard of the company before, and you are the reason I just spent a hundred bucks with them. So I emailed the company and told them that I had ordered because of you. I've been a retailer for over 35 years, and I understand the importance of knowing what drives a potential customer to consider my business and to ultimately buy. I wanted Anson to know that you were that reason for me.

[@40OverFashion]

Thank you very much!

[@namejeff2045]

Dude keeps raising the bar

[@marlono8755]

Which colors do you have and recommend?

[@user-es8yj6mz2x]

What width size do you recommend? Will 1.25” suffice for both some dress pants and jeans? Or will the 1.5” accommodate both? Thanks, always enjoy your reviews.

[@40OverFashion]

I have both, and I think the 1.25 is better for dress, and the 1.5 is a good for jeans. If I had to choose one, I would go for the 1.25.

[@AndrewDonoho]

As a wedding photographer and style vlogger, you can probably advise me and the rest of us. My daughter is getting married in June. I've just lost over 75 pounds and have bulked up in the gym. I look better than I ever have in my 58 years. I've been looking at a custom suit for her outdoor wedding in Central Texas. Hence, a video on father of the bride suits for a summer wedding would be welcome. The $2K needed for a complete bespoke outfit is in budget, including shoes, belt, shirt, etc. Also, the tailor said I was now a 44R suit. WoW, I can buy off of the rack. (I work in software. Hence, I don't typically wear suits, slacks and dress shirts to meetings.) BTW, I'm really happy to find a vlogger discussing style for older guys. Thank you.

[@bnelski0257]

I'm thinking of giving them a try for canvas, casual belts. What two colors do you suggest for most versatile for shorts and jeans? Tx

[@bnelski0257]

Or would cloth be a better choice of material?

[@watuzi]

How does this compare to other click belts, like the Mission Belts at Costco? I noticed from this video that 'it's very easy to replace the buckles. That is a great feature.

[@40OverFashion]

I haven’t seen those at Costco. Might have to check it out.

[@ronm6585]

Thanks.

[@MD-wk3gj]

I know it’s not important to every guy but I appreciate Anson offers a number of great belts that aren’t made from animal skin.

[@40OverFashion]

Yep! I can appreciate that also.

[@TomFoolery1991]

What is they're micro patina straps?

[@user-es8yj6mz2x]

For the Anson belts, I forgot to specify. Thanks.

[@EricHenao]

Looks good. Was wondering are any of these good for "heavy duty work". Trail work, cutting limbs, digging in dirt, wheel barrow, debris lifting. Dealing with mud, sweat and water? Or are they just for the office/around the house wear?

[@40OverFashion]

Hi Eric, maybe try the nylon ones. Mine are pretty durable. Maybe shoot them a email and get recommendations straight from them too.

[@EricHenao]

Great. Another question... does the latching mechanisim seem like it's pretty strong? Would hate for it to pop or slip out of place. @@40OverFashion

[@40OverFashion]

Yes! I’ve tried tugging on it. Never failed me.

[@MTobin1000]

John, when clipping off the end of the belt have you found any freying or splintering which could potentially impact the buckle you'r clipping on? thanks and great video again.

[@40OverFashion]

No fraying on the leather straps, but a little bit of fraying on one of my fabric straps. I just clip off the frayed ends and it doesn't get worse or affect the buckle at all.

[@angelomartinez9039]

After I cut my fabric belt I lightly singed the end. Now more fraying!!

[@40OverFashion]

Good idea!

[@MTobin1000]

that makes a lot of sense...thank you@@angelomartinez9039

[@mcreprog]

I bought one Anson belt and wore it for a while. The buckle was fine, but the finish on the leather-like material wore off and left grey streaks on the brown strap. For the price I can buy genuine leather that will last for years.

[@40OverFashion]

Hmm, I haven’t experienced that. Thanks for the feedback.

[@Mcnattty]

What width is your belt

[@luisguevara9292]

Can you talk about flatcaps?

[@martincorvalan1590]

ok!

[@georgesutton9235]

And I just got rid of my 2 anson ratcheting belts and replaced them with kore ratchet belts because quality and buckles are better

[@josephmercurio909]

How many belts do you need? Brown, and black to match shoes?

[@40OverFashion]

Hi Joseph! I guess it kind of depends on your shoe collection. I would have a black pair for black shoes, a brown pair for brown shoes or boots and then maybe a gray for casual sneakers.

[@40OverFashion]

Tony, nope.

[@l.chamindajayasathperera730]

[@-art3544]

I actually own ONE Ansonbelt....and, for now, that is the only belt I wear. I've seen cheaper brands that have the same ratchet system....just not sure of the quality.

[@ceejaydee1239]

Hi John. What width(s) did you go with?

[@40OverFashion]

I have both actually. The wider width is better for jeans in my opinion.

[@andreasjrnvil9950]

@@40OverFashion So I should choose the thin width for chinos ? On second thought.. I´ll order the 1.5. I don´t like the look of thin belts :-)

Nice! They should make styles for women.

They should!

[@gbigus74]

Sorry, bought a set of these & after just about three wears, the “leather” started to chip on the one that I tested out. I contacted their customer service department & while they refunded my purchase price, they made me pay for the return. Buyer beware.

[@40OverFashion]

Sorry to hear that. I haven’t had that issue. Thanks for your comment though.

Good point. According to the web site, these are premium full grain leather.

I really don’t think so anson belt that good, bcs I found another product better than anson.

[@jakubrosiecki443]

What product?

[@dbolt9642]

I bought these and was disappointed. Be very careful and don’t bend them at all or you get bubble in the grooves. Once this happens it’s almost impossible to take them off. Buckles look nice and are well made but this makes them almost useless. Nice concept, terrible design. Go elsewhere

I just unsuscribed. Can't believe you're vlogs are not sponsored

You don't have to believe it, but if my videos were sponsored, I'd disclose that in the video. I feel pretty strongly about that and being 100% transparent. :)

[@francoismiville-deschenes9524]

Then how come you only put forward one brand in your videos, be it belts, skin cares and what not. Sponsored does not mean you got the product for free ; it can also means you will receive something in return for the promotion you made for that and that product.

[@40OverFashion]

Valid points my friend. I try to stay in my lane and talk about what I know and the products that I actually use. I made this video about Anson Belts because I love them and I use them on a daily basis. I also thought it would be helpful to others that maybe haven't heard about them before. In the skin care video, I mentioned Tiege Hanley because it's what I currently use. I also mentioned Mavericks skin care in the same video and showed the shave lotion I use as well. I also want to keep producing two videos a week, so I need stuff to talk about. Also, if you notice when I link to the company site, it's not a special discount or a unique url so they can track how much traffic I send. I haven't received a single penny from either company, but if there comes a day where I do make content that's actually sponsored, you better believe I'll disclose that in the video. :) I hope that helps you understand where I'm coming from. :)
