Which belt style do you like the best? www.realmenrealstyle.com/mans-guide-belts/ - Click here to read the article - Man's Ultimate Guide To Belts

[@andreainzaghi7373]

embrodiered ! frame belt buckle, traditional, solid leather.... but embrodiered .. indian style, cow boys, even pyton on summer. I like the BRAIDED LEATHER look but I do not use it because I want to keep track of my waistline

[@herrmannotto9390]

I like suspenders best

[@letsgodababypotion7806]

Real Men Real Style you never talked about the Hermès strap or the Louis Vuitton strap.

[@caveat2002]

it all depends on what you wear ,my personal favorite formal wear belts are Mont blanc,Lanvin and Salvatore ferragamo. Casual wear my personal favorite is Carolina Herrera, Paul and Shark,boss. I must have over 50 designer belts lol

[@Ghryst]

this guide only really applies to outfits that are not suits. belts should always be matched properly when dressing formally, or better yet, the pants that come with your suit should not have loops at all, they should be properly fitted. personally, i cant stand anything other than a good leather belt with a proper Buckle, anything else looks tacky and cheap ps: on terminology : Micro-Adjust System - not a buckle Box Frame Belt Bucke - not a buckle O/D Ring Belt Buckls - not a buckle glad to see you didnt promote the "clip on tie" of the belt world, the "prong/stud/push-through" fastener

[@giorgioleo8962]

Speaking of belts and leather I thought It would be useful if I could share this information. I'm an italian guy and I see too many times foreign gentlemen coming here in Tuscany and buying what are supposed to be genuine Italian leather belts and maybe spending 50/60 euros for them and then realize after months to have been cheated. My advice to any foreigner is to avoid those shops that write " italian" or " Tuscany" all over the place because they buy that leather everywhere but in Italy. Also if you see a belt for under 60 euros it can't have been made in Italy, the craftsmanship here is very very expensive. Hope to have been useful . Greetings from Italy to all of you gentlemen

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Noted - Thanks for the tip Giorgio!

[@FlyingSorrow]

This is the not commonly seen kindness. Thanks sir.

[@wasabista1613]

Great advice Giorgio!

[@justine.3774]

Antonio, now these are the kind of videos I love to continue seeing from you. Pretty informative, it condenses information we could gather ourselves from the internet, but saves us the time from having to do our own research. Keep it going!

[@RealMenRealStyle]

I love this - thanks Justin!

[@gekkemitta8431]

I love it when Antonios videos are longer than 10minutes 🙌

[@RealMenRealStyle]

:)

[@elysiumlomain3128]

Mr. Antonio, I've been following you for a while now and I absolutely love all of your videos. Before I discovered your channel I really just wore anything cause I didn't care, and as you can image, my image in other peoples mind weren't so good. But after watching your videos, I learned how to dress myself properly, I learned how to buy clothes(like, not randomly), I learned how to choose clothes(the right clothes for the right occasion), I learned to discern the quality and whether I need it or not(not blinded the brand, price tag or prejudice) and choose the right size, etc. I learned to find my own timeless style. The feedback was good, people no longer give me those disagreeable look and take me more seriously. People do judge a book by it's cover. A good image and impression is essential. So thank you for making all these videos, it really helps people like me who literally have no sense for it. I'm really grateful. But you do have too many videos, it took some time to find the videos that I needed, so do you think it would be possible for you to make a playlist with all the essential and must learn videos? a step by step playlist for beginners or something. Like that, we could just autoplay it. Thank you.

[@mc_sea]

I always find myself learning new things from Antonio's videos.

[@lllMedoxlll]

I actually needed that video right now. Thanks Antonio 👌

[@EastEndSongStudio]

I love the span of knowledge in this video. Thank you for your remarkable expertise.

[@aimeeandluis]

Kore makes the most amazing track belt I have ever owned. And it is stylish too! Love it! Thinking about getting it in another color.

[@gwimmer98]

Very good video. I really like your whole channel, but the videos about under appreciated items are the ones that help me the most. There are guides to suits, shirts and shoes everywhere, but only very few really helpful videos (that don’t just show “the top five styles 2018”) about belts, ties, pocket squares and so on. Good job Antonio! Greetings from Austria

[@Albert-fe8jx]

I always learn something from your videos. Thank you for working with vendors for the discounts too.

[@nickgomez2038]

Love your content Antonio. Been watching your videos for about a year. I've been implementing your tips and taking your advice and have been very happy with the results.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Glad it helped.

[@s.jamieshepperson6928]

Great video, Antonio! Thank you for the information and for turning me on to Anson. I love how their color and style selections keep growing. That makes playing mix and match more fun. Keep up the great work. I always look forward to your videos!

[@RealMenRealStyle]

I couldn't agree more :)

[@nickjaymes4152]

Great video. Helps me out a lot. I definitely appriciate your work.

[@mohammednaveed1832]

nice video at the correct movement because from since last 2 days i was searching the belts for me. thank you very much sir

[@gwarlow]

Closing in on 3 million subscribers. Congratulations. Your hard work and persistence is paying off. Cheers!

[@drewfressel4747]

Thank you for this. I never thought about the different types of belts. And thank you for explaining how to measure my belt! I would always just hold it up and think it looks fine but never knew how I should measure

[@kuortayi7425]

This video clear my doubts over the belt strap to match with formal n causal wear. Thanks!

[@joshuacardenas2809]

The thickness of the belt really helped. I wish you would have talked about what belts go great with jeans, chinos, cargo shorts, and etc.

[@lauriinki9694]

I recently bought microadjusted, because I have seen them in your videos. The belt has been very good. Thanks Antonio:)

[@RealMenRealStyle]

You are welcome!

[@AnkitMorya]

Antonio sir.... Please make a complete video on "different types of Back-Pockets of trousers, jeans & chino's"

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Noted - Thanks for the suggestion Ankit.

[@AnkitMorya]

Thank You & Lots of Love from India....

[@Winsii]

Is there a lot of variation when it comes to this? I have never actually considered differences between back pockets beyond wether the pocket has a button or not.

[@moodyguymick]

Concealed or patch pockets. Flap or button fastening, etc......

[@dinkocejvanovic2296]

4:43 I have exactly this one xd and I had no idea about belts, I'm glad that I actually have one from your videos

[@nickp9910]

I always enjoy your presentations because it is informed and pretty thorough. It's the very reason I keep revisiting which speaks for itself how much I enjoy them. I would like to respectfully make a suggestion. While you can certainly give us all the benefits and lowdown on the pieces you highlight, can you make recommendations on which ones would be best. For instance, for belts, I think the auto-grip-lock solid buckle looks elegant and stylish for any occasion. So you will never find me wearing the single tongue, old-style buckles for any reason. It's just a suggestion from a fan, though.

[@Shiddy]

Nicely presented. Good job man👍

[@psychoo16psycho51]

Classic video on leather belts 👍

[@christiansailor2880]

Great video! Thanks for the info!

[@afernick1]

Really enjoyed this video. It is very professional, informative, and of course Educational. keep up the good work

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Awesome - which point is your favorite?

[@valmontgroup]

Great video. Thank you Antonio

[@nabeelmirza6060]

Again a helpful guide👍

[@PeteysCorner]

Antonio, great content and very informative as always. In the past, I had received (as a present) a lot of belts that were/still are too big for me. Shall I return them or rather fight to make an extra hole? What is the general recommendation on what to do for belts too large?

[@rdizzle2050se]

Definitely informative. Great content as always.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Super!

[@rojoification]

Anson is by far the best belt system, hands down. Thanks for promoting a great company with outstanding products and service.

[@deltaexplorer47]

Excellent - thank you very much

[@Apneistefou]

"Automatic" belts are the best. I am using those since years and damn.. that just perfect !

[@nitina8564]

That was a great video... all information needed was given regarding a belt.. good job.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Thanks Nitin!

[@abdulkhadeer9726]

Ohhh I definitely learnt a lot! 😮

[@94ajinkya]

I loved the canvas belts as they have alot of flexibility in terms of different usage

[@jeetZ77]

Hi Antonio! Thanx for the video

[@mukhtyarkhan5882]

*Great information thank you sir*

[@mk510ba]

Thanks. Good stuff.

[@fokkelman64231]

This is a great video Antonio!

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@christophdollis1955]

Personally I Love the Kore belts. I was going to order a similar design from a Kore competitor, but saw reviews stating that the Kore Essentials Trakline belts were made of better materials (leathers). I don't have a personal experience with those competitors, but am definitely excited by my new Kore Icon buckle and top-grain fashion belt which I've been comfortably wearing for days now. I now think about my belt less, not more-which is the main point !

[@robert-andreiionita2827]

7:49 - That's not how you pronounce "faux". It's pronounced [foh], not [fox].

[@robert-andreiionita2827]

I mean, don't take it as a hate comment. I absolutely love all your videos. But I wanted just to point this out.

[@frederick6512]

Hasturbation nice.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Yeah - I blame it on my Texas public high school education :)

[@robert-andreiionita2827]

It's all right. French can be hard for the vast majority of people. I myself suck at it and I know only basic phrases and very little vocabulary. But anyway... Keep up the good work!

[@MyAmericanMorning]

When I'm not sure how to pronounce a word I go to www.dictionary.com/ and type in the word and click on the little speaker icon next to the word to hear it spoken. I just ordered my first Anson belt.

[@lecrapface5270]

Best channel on KZbin 👍🏻

[@f0xmcl0ud]

Hey Anotonio! Thanks for putting these great videos up. When i go into a clothing store now I pick out clothes that actually go to my liking. But, this video made it clear on how to pick a belt up. For sure Anson belts look better than quite honestly the ones at the store. Thanks for videos again.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Welcome!!!

[@pecas6445]

Señor, muchas gracias.🙋🏻‍♂️

[@MrAnakin1996]

When you start the videos with "Pop quiz" I really snap to attention. Nice video like always.

[@faridmahnad4985]

Thank you, Antonio!! personally, I'm more of a frame Belt-guy myself.and a minimalist at that and because of that, I don't find Anson belt and buckles very interesting.that being said, the Part about measuring was very useful.

[@navidhendrix]

Very informative. Thank you.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Welcome!

[@Handsome85216]

Great video, just order a couple of belts

[@nemammemo]

Great video Antonio, but I personally would love to see a another video about belt explaining different quality grades of leather or how to spot good quality belt which won't be worn in a few months. :)

[@RealMenRealStyle]

I go into more detail in the article - www.realmenrealstyle.com/mans-guide-belts/

[@sheryarkhan7717]

Today information was great. I like it

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Glad you liked it!

[@dhirajdarlami1542]

The frame style belt buckle is great Antonio for me. And great video keep it up. :d

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Thanks Dhiraj!

[@swabby429]

I enjoy wearing canvas belts, too. The O/C ring setup is not intuitive. It took a little bit of experimentation until it became a habit to fasten. That type works best if you thread it through the belt loops on the trousers beginning on the right side rather than the left side. This allows the belt to thread through the rings and stow to the left. BTW I'm going to check out Anson. I'm sure I'll find something to like.

[@panganaigodwa]

Well said Don't worry about negative people Cheek on constructive criticism. Keep calm and posting...

[@tanyasingh8900]

Thanx a lot

[@yogeshchawla2490]

Really love the Anson combo at the 3:23 mark of the video. Can you tell us what straps and buckles are in that gift box?

[@Shiddy]

Currently rock the frame buckle belt but i am intrigued by the adjust buckle belt.

[@7ajhubbell]

Thank you.

[@leoarzu252]

Great video...Where to find a quality rope belt?

[@zoukatron]

Fox leather?

[@alanmitchael4953]

Antonio, what type of belt would you recommend to use with casual sport shoes?

[@true_the_lens]

I love the products you feature but all is not available to me where I'm living (Malaysia). But the tips is really useful though... And it's fun to learn about stuff that I wouldn't learn otherwise.. Great video!!

[@XxSUPERchipMANxX13]

Great vid

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Thanks!

[@Orgwell]

Great lesson Antonio, but let me ask how many belts should a "beginner" have?

[@deanchristensen4783]

I have a question about belts, Antonio. If your trousers are fitted and have no belt loops, what do you use the belt for?

[@aksman1964]

It's the next thing on my list to buy

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Awesome!

[@angelosiciliano4013]

This guy is the ultimate tool

[@dodatyoutube]

good

[@Leatherbeltsonline]

What kind of belt should I wear with jeans? Perhaps, you'll give me some tips on what types of men's belts work great with jeans, what color options there are, and how to choose the right casual belt, matching the style.

[@Extremmist]

What do you think about cordovan leather? I've heard it's more durable than calfskin or cowhide, but is it flexible enough to make a comfortable belt?

[@peterbrown818]

Antonio, what about fashion belts used for formal wear, like Louis Vuitton or Gucci etc?

[@josefasw4504]

Wish you went more in depth with thickness (1.25 vs 1.5). Which thickness would you wear with chinos or jeans? Could you pass wearing a 1.5 with suit pants?

[@hippo-potamus]

Antonio I noticed you have 2 buttons undone, is there a rule on how many buttons to undue on a shirt?? -Cheers mate.

[@itumblers]

Great!

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Thank you! Which point is your favorite?

[@SoldierBoy_YDB]

hey could you make a video for the color black and how to make it work

[@jpatrck3667]

Nice shirt man, what shade of blue is that?

[@Justin-yb6mf]

What's your view on branded buckles e.g. on an 'H' hermes belt?

[@wasabista1613]

I was going to comment on that "faux" thing but others have covered it so instead I'll just say… Gotta be gettin' me some of those Anson belts!

[@aaronsung6208]

Very edifying video I have to point out plaque belt(plate), had evolved. It became iconic and fashionable, people spot that gucci double G, hermes H belt, etc immediately. Unless you wearing suit, i would recommend plaque belt. Whats your opinion on that?

[@Razzzordback]

Antonio can i wear leather belts (with formal width) with jeans and shirt? I m short and thin Guy and dont look to Good with wider Belts even on casual style.

[@icestorm_rb9057]

I smell Anson belts already XD Update: I was right!😂

[@lalolalo1233]

Nice vid man. To me the belt buckle is so very important, must not be heavy, noisy/rattles and bulky. My preference is one pin, leather must be soft not stiff or thick, my budget is no more than $50. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. BTW, I retired, so no more dress belts for me, I now only wear slim fit jeans, Khakis, Chinos, Yes!

[@liquidblake]

faux is actually pronounced "foe. It's the French vowel system.

[@gammondog]

Yes. As in faux pas [foe pa]. ;-).

[@MarkShaneHansen]

Haha, yes, he's been called out on it before, which brought him to make the video "10 Words Stylish Men Mispronounce".

[@kg7yts187]

You should check out the min belt

[@ttop64]

Before trying an Anson belt I tried one of those as seen on TV leather belts I found at Wal-Mart and really liked it but they were only available in black and brown. I wanted a tan belt so I tried an Anson belt and I have to say that the Wal-Mart belt has a better buckle design. My Anson belt buckle does not always want to engage in the track and can sometimes be a pain to release when it does. The buckle for their casual canvas belts work much better. I must say though that I like their color selection.

[@Steve-vf7se]

I love belts, even belt buckles. I wear Indian belt buckles, so awesome. Why we men wear belts like that, and how to wear it. Belts go way back, it is amazing how to wear belt buckles in a great fashion. It goes to see it, nice

[@atthelord]

How do I match oxblood/burgundy shoes with a belt ? Browns seem off and some people say you can even wear a black belt with oxblood shoes (double monks, tassel loafers)

[@benwilliams5156]

Antonio, opinions on the Gucci belt?

[@rogelioalejandro1762]

Wow! this video solve all my questions about my belts. Maybe you can do a video about watch straps.

[@missingremote4388]

I've been wearing the same belt since 2001. Daily aside from my time at sea, in the Navy,

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Nice!

[@8135824]

I have been looking at belts a lot recently. Sometimes on the tag it will describe the belt as being made with full grain or top grain leather. But on the back of the belt it will be stamped genuine leather. What is the deal with that? Are they full grain or top grain or genuine?

[@kensosaramos]

5:40 Antonio, for a moment there I thought that the belt shown was more worn-out than my dad's belts until you showed a close up

[@andrewwatson465]

Antonio, can you please make a video and article for advice on building a wardrobe for the military man? I'm active duty, and I really only look for clothes to wear on weekends. But at times it's hard to stay motivated to dress well, since it doesn't directly affect my occupation. Thanks, and I love your videos and articles! -Andrew

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Good idea Andrew! I'll add to my queue.

[@msanchez0125]

Anson's belts are great, I started giving away my regular belts after getting these!

[@RealMenRealStyle]

I know, right!

[@alexchalatsis9616]

I have already 3 pairs of Anson belts great company... very good video keep up the good work

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Alex - Nice. When did you start wearing it?

[@alexchalatsis9616]

RMRS since 2014 and I ordered resently another one

[@AlphaMacho]

@@alexchalatsis9616 still like them ?

[@shawnwilson6064]

What are thought on M Tailor.

[@michaeldowning1713]

I really should invest in that Anson package soon... I definitely see the advantages of that system, and it seems like a great deal.

[@michaeldowning1713]

Also, Antonio, Id love to see a vid on suspenders! I don't know as I've seen one from you yet, though I know you've mentioned it a number of times.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Sounds like a plan!

[@frankiewhittom5699]

Hello from Virginia I saw this video and a question came to mind. Why, why would a Oxford be more of a dress shoe than a Chaka ? Also, that ratchet belt, can you you get that for a "ratchet" watch? That about the shoes, I just happen to love the Chaka......

[@TACKLEtv]

Frankie Whittom .. lololol

[@stevenbush5082]

I have a couple Kore belts for over 2 years now and I really love them. The buckle designs are the best for guys and the belts are fantastic quality real leather. But now the wife wants one and kore only makes track belts for men. Anyone have an opinion on the best track belt for a women ?? I see that the mission belt and comnfort belt from tv use really cheap leather, but the price is cheap too. Any thoughts?
