I just received my belt in the mail a couple of days ago. It arrived on schedule or "within the time frame of the Free Saver Shipping." Can't complain too much there. The box was somewhat smashed like someone dropped a large container on top of it. It was a sealed in a 8 by 11-ish small box (might be smaller) with bubble wrap surrounding it. Nothing too fancy. Important thing is that the belt wasn't damaged on delivery and it wasn't. A+ on that.

The belt feels sturdy, thick, and well-made as far as I can tell. I was thinking a 35mm belt was going to be a super skinny belt but it came out to be a bit thicker than I thought it would be which is good. I like thick belts. It's smooth in the front and rough in the back. Can't really complain much there either. As long as the belt does what it is designed to do, lasts a while, and it looks fairly decent on a variety of pants and jeans, I don't really mind what it feels like.

I ordered a size 36 and I'm not sure if it's just me but it feels a bit tight around the waist. It could be the case that it is still new so it feels rather tight but in any case, it's not that big a deal.

It's only been a couple of days but so far, I am satisfied with it. I hope it lasts me 2 years (or more) like my last belt. My last belt was a Timberland brand belt. Dickies, to me, is a step down from a well-known name brand and I hope this purchase will be worth it. Only time will tell. =)
