I have always had a problem belts wearing out fairly quickly, so when I saw an advertisement online for Mack Belts, and their claim of a long lasting belt, made from the highest quality materials, I had to check it out. I perused their website, and the belts did look robust, but the price tag was pretty high, so I wasn't sure I would actually purchase one, but the universe had other plans, because that very day, my latest favorite belt gave out ... leaving me with just a buckle in my one hand, holding up my pants with the other. I decided that I would give Mack a shot.
I ordered the Judge Belt, thinking that would be the most durable, but I was a larger size than what was offered on their website. I emailed them and they were more than accommodating, telling me to just email them my size when I order the belt and they would custom make it, since all their belts are custom made. AWESOME!!!
After I ordered the first belt, which was brown, I decided that I needed a black belt to go with my dress slacks, so I added to the order a Freedom Belt as well, letting them know the size, as I had the other belt order. I'm not going to say that everything went smooth .... it didn't .... unfortunately they could not make the black Freedom Belt for me and my order got misplaced, so I didn't get my belts right away, but they were open, honest, and assured me that they would take care of me. They, told me that I could get the black Governor belt in my size, but it would not have a double stitch, like the Judge did. I was ok with that, since it was going to be for my dress slacks anyways and didn't think the double stitch would look as good.
When I got the first belt, the Judge .... OMG, it was amazing. It was very well built, you could tell the quality of the materials and the workmanship immediately. The belt was very stiff, which is normal for new leather, so I have to work it a bit, but I am here to tell you that this belt is by far the best belt I have ever owned! I wear it every day, and it shows no signs of wear of any kind. It is thick .... I mean, THICK!!! And it is super well built. My only complaint, which is actually quite inconsequential, is that the buckle is a smaller than I am used to and sometimes it makes it harder to get the belt through the buckle, at least at first, until the belt wears in and loosens up., oh, and saddle soap or leather conditioner would certainly help in that area as well.
So then, after two months, I got my second belt, I did mention that my order got lost, right? So the Governor Belt was thinner, but still extremely well made, full leather, but was perfect for my dress pants. It did not take as much to loosen it up, and it worked wonderfully. I have used this belt a few times when having to wear black dress pants and it is a perfect accessory, as well as being functional. Again, cannot see any wear at all on this belt, after a number of uses.
So now I am considering buying a brown belt for my tan and brown dress pants .... can't wear a black belt with those, right? LOL Of course I am going to get it from Mack Belts .... they are my new belt store! No more JC Penneys, DXL, Dillards, Macys, Nordstroms, or Walmart cheap, poor quality belts for me, No SIR .... I am a Mack Belt guy now! What's more, they are made in the USA and Mack is a Veteran, just like me, so I support him and his company 100%. I can't lie, the prices for the belts are a bit on the higher side, but when I think about how much money I have spent on inferior belts over the years, the up front cost of these belts more than pays for themselves.
This belt is gorgeous. Didn’t expect anything less. The new buckles are awesome and sturdy. Thanks for another excellent belt Macky Mack
Best belt I’ve ever seen or worn. Quality unmatched. Continue the fight & the great work brother. 👊🇺🇸
Hands-down, the best belt I have ever purchased!
Quality, durability, strength, thickness, color, stitching, craftsmanship, hardware.
I am OCD and a perfectionist. I cannot say enough great things about this belt.
I have always worn a belt I’m 43 and this will be the last belt I will ever purchase and I know that for a fact off of the craftsmanship that went into making this belt.
And the sizing recommendations for belt length of the belt is spot on.
I purchased a Mack Belt for myself a couple of months ago and loved it so much I bought 3 Freedom Belts for my sons as Christmas gifts. I know they are going to appreciate the amazing quality. I’ve recommended them to our local police department where I serve as chaplain and it looks like they will be ordering Freedom Belts for the officers as Christmas gifts this year!
