Product Description

Kore Essentials Men's Full Grain Leather Ratchet Belt

"EVOLVE" solid stainless steel buckle and full-grain leather belt from Kore Essentials is unlike any other. First, say goodbye to sloppy, misfitting belt holes. Instead, our unique spring-loaded, ratchet buckle interfaces with a hidden track sewn into the back of the leather belt, to provide over 40+ micro adjustment points. This means you can adjust your belt 1/4" at a time for the perfect fit all day. It's a simple, secure system that will forever change the way you think about belts.

HARDKORE MATERIALS

Our classic double-stitched, leather fashion belts are constructed using full-grain leather on the outside and top-grain leather on the inside for durability (XL sizes are top-grain only).

WIDTH

The belt is 1-3/8" (3.5 cm) wide and the 10” nylon track is virtually indestructible.

SIZES

Classic fashion belts come in one long size that fits any waist from 24" up to 44" (XL sizes up to 54”).

ADJUST OR RELEASE

To release or adjust your track belt, pinch the small release tab under the buckle. It's easy to do and the tab never gets in the way.

SIZE YOUR BELT

You trim the belt yourself to fit your size range. On the back of the belt are printed size markings. First, use the marks to locate your Pant Size, then add 4 inches and cut. So if you pant size is 36" - you cut the belt at the 40" mark. If the belt is still too long try trimming off an inch at a time.

NOT A GUN BELT

This is the Standard-Sized fashion buckle and belt (1-3/8” / 3.5 cm wide). It is NOT interchangeable with our slim-sized fashion buckles and belts (1-1/8” / 2.7 cm wide). This is a fashion belt, and is NOT designed to support firearms.

WE ARE KORE

Our unique buckles and accessories are patented. Kore Essentials is located in San Diego, California. Thanks for supporting.

Better than the cheaper one I bought

Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2023

Size: 24" to 44"Color: BlackVerified Purchase

I have two of these ratchet belts now, the first I bought for like 30$. I like both of them but this one is better because the release is much smaller so it's less likely to be hit by mistake loosening your belt. I agree with some of the reviews saying the leather is thin but it looks, feels, and smells like real leather unlike the cheap one I bought.

Best Carry Belt I’ve Ever Had, Ever!!

Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2020

Size: 24" to 54"Color: BlackVerified Purchase

This belt is fuggn awesome!! Absolutely the best carry belt I’ve purchased to date, and I have MANY carry belts. It holds its shape and looks great. Can be worn with dress pants or casual clothes, or jeans. I was skeptical it wasn’t stiff enough, but after wearing it everyday since I received it, the belt is as stiff and sturdy as the day I got it. The ability to make micro adjustments and the ease of the buckle is awesome. The belt has carried my 5in all steel 1911 all day like a champ, and that was my test for it.. I would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this carry belt for EVERYONE.. I could write positive things about this belt for days and still not do it justice.. it’s lighter and stronger, and more adjustable than all my other belts that cost more, some of them twice as much, and this is more versatile for whatever you are wearing.. Buy this belt if you are looking for a carry belt and reading this review.. I am so happy that I bought one.. Best money I’ve ever spent on a carry belt ever, hands down.. I’d give it 10 stars if I could!!

Great Ratcheting Belt

Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2023

Size: 24" to 44"Color: BlackVerified Purchase

I own several ratcheting-style belts. I own ones by this brand and one other brand. While both seem nearly identical in design, craftsmanship, materials, and quality, I find Kore has a slight edge over the other in options and choices, especially when it comes to dress belts. That’s probably because of my tastes and choices. I currently own more leather belts by Kore.

Small issue but resolved

Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2016

Size: 24" to 44"Color: BlackVerified Purchase

I was very happy to purchase my first ratchet belt. I had grown tired of the common belt which would tear away over time and would never fit exactly to my waistline. Unfortunately after about 2 months or so of use, I noticed the tip of my belt (the end that goes into the ratchet system) was starting to peel a bit. Based on what I paid, I did not expect something like that to occur so quickly (maybe over a few years of use). I called Trakline and they said they would be able to replace it. They just had me send an email to them to get it on record which I obliged. What most likely happened was I received a defective leather belt (the ratchet was working just fine). But in less than a week I received my replacement so I was very glad they did not waste anytime to replace that. I love this belt and I'm very happy with my purchase and the Trakline customer support.

Works great as a regular belt, but I don't really like it as a gun belt

Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2017

Size: 24" to 44"Color: BlackVerified Purchase

I bought this to use it as a gun belt because I saw a lot of people praising its ability to be used as a gun belt. Maybe I bought the wrong one, but it does an ok Job as a gun belt. It doesn't hold up very much weight as a gun belt, but it does a good job if I fit it with a SW MP Shield. I can tell that its going to get a little bend were my gun hangs, but its held up very good other than that. As a regular belt, it works great and I haven't had any issues at all. I've been using it for about a month.

What a great idea

Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2022

Size: 24" to 54"Color: BlackVerified Purchase

A great idea and works very well. I can't tell you how many times I have poked new holes into a standard belt with an ice pick to get it to fit right. This belt solves this problem. The wratcheting effect allows about 3 to 4 in- between settings for each size. Very easy to put on and take of. I wish I could give this product 10 stars. It is rather expensive but for me it's worth it.

Definitely NOT full grain leather

Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2024

Size: 24" to 44"Color: BlackVerified Purchase

As is clearly seen in the photo the description is false.

It looks like a fine belt, but not what is advertised.
