I love this belt! I bought my first one over 10 years ago and I still use it to this day. I have since bought about 8-10 more of these belts for my husband, my 3 boys, and most recently I bought this belt for my daughter for her college ROTC uniform. I love that this one is slim and can fit through the loops of my dress slacks and pants (and still look nice!), and even some of my jeans with the smaller belt loops. It’s the perfect amount of stretchy and secure, fully adjustable, it’s a flat buckle that is sleek and comfortable- no digging! I also love that there’s no metal in it so it’s easier when going through most security checkpoints and it’s light weight, better for traveling. I rotate through 3 Arcade belts (this one in black and navy blue, and my original belt that is a men’s thicker black woven belt) almost daily. If I’m wearing pants with belt loops, this is the belt I’m using. After all this time and daily use, the buckles all still work just like the first time! Surprisingly, all the belts I’ve bought for my boys haven’t broken at all! My oldest son started wearing his first belt when he was 12 (he’s now almost 20), my middle son then wore it for a few years, and now the youngest boy has been using it for the past 2 years. It’s almost indestructible. Really great quality and I’ll continue to buy belts from Arcade as long as I need them. Read more
I have been wearing one for several years and been quite happy with it. The belt is lightweight and comfy. It is best suited to the lightweight types of pants I normally wear as heavy denim pants can cause it to stretch / slip more. Definitely not suitable for carrying heavy tools, etc. It is quite durable though. I am amazed how well it has held up over the years. Read more
I saw this brand mentioned multiple times while researching travel friendly clothing. The price initially turned me off but I grabbed it during prime day and I love it! Now I understand why all those YouTubers raved about it. It’s light, flexible, and looks stylish despite being stretchy fabric and plastic. It’s also super easy to clip/unclip. For what it is, the quality is amazing and explains the full price. Style wise I think you could get away with dressing up with it if it’s the flat black color. The one con for some people might be the sizing. It says up to 40 inches but I’m 38 and it’s SNUG at max length. I’m currently losing weight so I’m dealing with it but I don’t think that size range is accurate. Read more
Arcade belts are the best belts. My boyfriend absolutely loves them and won’t wear any other kind. The belts are true to the sizing chart. The narrowness of this style was my boyfriend’s favorite aspect. This belt does it job of holding pants up while being stylish. The click fasener makes the belts easy to put on and take off and survive the washing machine. Read more
4.5 stars: Pros: best most elastic stretchy belt ever! Comfortable. Love the narrower 1.25" width Cons: worst belt buckle ever! Awkward finicky connectors and very difficult to adjust the length. I frequently adjust belt length for comfort vs shorts support. The flip-top style buckles with friction adjustment are so much quicker and easier. For a very expensive belt it's too bad it doesn't come with a normal buckle, so rounding down to 4*. Read more

I LOVE THIS BELT! i tell all my friends about it lol. it's elastic/stretchy but not too stretchy so it stays tight which is good. its stretchy enough so when u bend over (or whatever) it won't like hold u tight like stiff other belts do. i have 3 arcade belts now of different thicknesses. the only "annoying" part is just at the beginning when you're adjusting the belt to the right size, since the lil loophole thing is kinda tight. but after u get it fitted, its amazing and trust me you'll never buy a different belt ever again! please trust me on this! i love this belt so much! it's so so so comfortable! also i snowboard with this belt over my baggy snowboard pants like every day, so it's super comfy bc otherewise i wouldn't be writing about how obsessed i am with it LMAO. oh ALSO AIRPORT SECURITY: totally fine! there's no metal in the belt. it has a plastic (durable) buckle so u don't need to take it off in the airport for security! i've gone thru airport security tons of times with this belt on. totally cool! also there's different width's of the belt. i have two different widths (3 total belts lol) and this "The Original Slim" belt fits in any belt loop. don't worry about it being too wide to fit thru your small belt loops, because it's a perfect size. my other arcade belt is for like huge cargo pants and snowboard pants since they have bigger belt loops. but it's fine. u can just buy this one and be totally fine! :) PLEASE JUST BUY THE BELT! TRUST MEEEE! much love, miriam pilzer! Read more
This is a belt you shouldn't have to take off when you go through a metal detector. The stretchiness is just about right, not too loose and not too tight. Width is 1.25 inches so no problem with it fitting through the belt loops of my travel pants & shorts. It fits my 36" waist but it may not work as well for waist sizes above 38". My only concern is that the female half of the buckle is a little thin and looks like it could break easily, so I'll probably pack a spare belt in my luggage just in case. The one I bought is black. I may order another one if I can find it in khaki color. Read more
