Leather Tow Belt

Thick & keeps my pants up. Facility Maintenance homie and do a lot of time on my knees. With this belt, my “plumber cleavage” is almost nonexistent. I’m 61 years old and finally found a replacement for my often mocked but reliable suspenders.

I’m delaying going through my files, unpaid, for the IRS. I happened to look over at my three Saddleback Leather Tow Belts—two hanging from a hook on the wall, one in a pair of pants I wore yesterday—and experienced a little surge of gratitude for having had the foresight to purchase them in June of 2015.

That was eleven years and two months ago.

The black one still looks almost new. The lighter-colored belts have aged beautifully, developing the kind of character that shows they’ve been well loved and well used. The buckles don’t look any different from the day they arrived. Nothing is frayed, stretched, worn out, or less than perfect in any meaningful way.

For more than eleven years, these have been my everyday, go-to belts, and I am so glad I made the decision to buy them.

“Money well spent” is an understatement.

Speaking of money... back to taxes.

If GLP-1 drugs had not been invented my old Saddleback belts would have lasted the rest of my life. I will stay with Saddleback forever.

Received belt in timely manner, this is my 3rd belt from saddleback leather. One dress belt and another tow belt, not that I’ve worn the other out, figured could be buried with one and leave the other two for my heirs. The quality and workmanship is above expectations, money well spent.

I bought a belt ($100) about fifteen years ago. Great belt, best ever. I wear it every day. The stitching is wearing out and the belt is showing wear. I really don’t know what to do. I thought it had a lifetime warranty but I no longer have the receipt. Don’t know what to do.

This is a substantive belt that lives up to the Saddleback promise that "they'll fight over it when you're dead," except that in my case, my adult sons visited and my previous leather black leather tow belt went missing. Maybe they should change their promise to "they'll swipe them when you're not looking."

Feels good, looks good, even smells good if you spray the right cologne on.

This is not my first Tow Belt, and it won't be my last. I'll eventually have one in each color. They are incredibly sturdy and beautifully made. Especially great as a gun belt too.

Just received the belt via UPS. I was anxious because the instructions said order your pant size. My pants are size 36, but just started Carnivore and it’s closer to size 34. So, I ordered the 34. Fit is perfect. I put my outside the waist band holster on and everything is perfect. The quality is top notch. The belt is MADE FOR HOLSTERS. No sag. I’m so happy to get full value in a product. Two thumbs up!

Fallon was right on the size! I did not want a big tail and ordered one size down from my pant size. I really love the look of this belt even more than the original design.

There are plenty of belts out there, but nothing else compares to this belt. This belt is so over-engineered that it feels like so much more than just a belt. This belt has 3 layers of full grain leather! The top and center layers, I believe, are chrome leather which gives you the look and feel you expect from SBL, then the bottom layer is vegetable tanned leather. It is more rigid that the other layers and you can feel the difference. Add to the leather an over-engineered stainless steel buckle and this becomes something entirely unique in the leather belt world. If there is a criticism to be made about this belt, I think it would be that you cannot change the buckle, if you want to swap it out at some point. No option for that. The buckle is held on to the belt by its own piece of veg tanned leather and riveted in place. For sizing, SBL says to order your pants size at the waist. I have found that ordering 1 size smaller gets you on the center hole. Ordering your actual size may put you more near to the bottom 2 holes. I ordered my size and I land on 1 hole up from the tightest. At my age I am more likely to shrink than gain any weight, so someday I may need to add a hole, but that's another day down the road. Great belt that will last and look great doing it.

I've had my tow belt for a few years now and the only signs of wear are some minor surface scratches. This thing is STRONG and super thick. I ordered according to the sizing guide and, while the belt fits, I can only use the second or third hole, depending on my weight; I wish I had gone a couple sizes longer. That said, I'd definitely buy this again if I needed another. The only thing I would change is the buckle; there's absolutely nothing wrong with it but I sure wish there was a brass buckle option.

I now own four tow belts and have bought several others as gifts and they are by far the best belts I have ever owned. They are thick and heavy but not at all pinchy or uncomfortable.
I purchased my first tow belt (in Tobacco) about 12 years ago and still wear it almost every day for every activity. It has held up beautifully, but I recently purchased another in Tobacco to have a nicer-looking option in the lighter color for casual non-work wear. There are a few slightly disconcerting differences with the new belt but it's still excellent. For some reason the new belt, in the same marked size as the first one, is almost two inches longer. Not ideal, but it still fits. The first belt also used Chicago screws to secure the buckle which I prefer to the rivets used on the new one, but this is not a deal breaker either. The finish on the new one is not as refined as the first one either, with the edges on the new one not seeming to be smoothed, sealed or polished like the first one and the cuts themselves seem a bit rougher — but I can't be too critical comparing products from more than a decade apart. Excellent product and highly recommended.

I first ordered a size smaller than what I needed to. Janene in customer service was great and super helpful. I made a return with no issues at all. I ordered the correct size and love it. It is extremely well made. I’d love to see how long these belts will actually last but we all will be dust by then. I’ve had mine for a few weeks and it has worn in great. It’s very comfortable. It’s not overly heavy but you definitely know it’s there and doing its job. I don’t carry a firearm but have no doubt the belt would hold up without issues. You won’t find a better quality belt. Thanks Dave and thanks again Janene!!!!!

Great product looking forward to buying more products in the future.

If someone had told me five years ago that I'd be penning a heartfelt ode to a strip of leather, I'd have recommended a nice, long vacation—for them, not me. Yet, here I am, folks, fully committed and belted up!

Let's talk about the Saddleback belt, my latest and greatest fashion ally. After years of playing musical chairs with department store belts (none lasted more than a festive season before giving up the ghost), and one particularly promising Kickstarter find that fizzled faster than a flat soda, I was on the brink. Belts were becoming my nemesis.

Enter Reddit, the land of unfiltered opinions. I tossed my belt woes into the ring, and the people championed Saddleback. Skeptical but desperate, I bit the bullet and placed my order. Cue the quick shipping—impressive, but then I goofed up the size. Classic me! No worries, though. Saddleback's customer service was like a superhero team in disguise. A few days and a couple of clicks later, the perfect belt was on my waist, ready to take on the world (or at least my trousers).

This belt is a masterpiece. The leather feels like it could survive a Jurassic Park sequel, the stitching could probably hold up the Sistine Chapel ceiling, and the buckle? Let's just say it's burlier than my last five gym partners combined. And the price? It's the bargain of the century. I mean, this belt will likely outlast any apocalypse Hollywood can dream up.

So, if you, like me, are tired of your trousers performing impromptu gravity checks, do yourself a favor and get a Saddleback. It's not just a belt; it's an investment in your pants' future. Thank you, Saddleback, for reining in my waistline woes. I'll be back for a wallet—if my newly trustworthy belt doesn't outlive me, that is!

Until then, keep your pants up and your spirits higher!

Thick, durable, great color, and a lot of holes. Take their sizing seriously if you’re a 34 in jeans buy a 32 belt, so on and so forth. I love this quality and it also makes a great concealed carry belt if you’re into that.

My appreciation for Saddleback Leather grows with every purchase. I bought a tow belt as a gift for my husband several years back. He has worn it as his daily belt ever since. After several years of daily wear, we had an issue with the stitching on the belt. The warranty Saddleback offers was as good as gold for us. Caroline took care of our replacement quickly and efficiently. His new belt arrived this morning and will be right back to use as his daily belt. For the quality and customer care that is offered, you can't go wrong with Saddleback Leather. Well done!!

Listen. I get loyal to brands that matter. I’ve been a fan of Saddleback Leather for more than a decade. I’ve proven to myself over and over again that the upfront expense of this company pays for itself in NEVER BUYING IT AGAIN. Really though. Bags, totes, duffles, and now belts? Please. Just start making boots next. I’m already all in, so bring it…

I own quite a few belts that I think are really good quality but this belt surpasses all of them, impressive product. LOVE IT

This belt is very heavy duty and high quality. I have no doubt that it will last for a very long time.

I love this belt. It is heavy duty and super thick. It definitely feels like it will last a century. I got it in dark coffee brown. It does scuff some, as this sort of leather will, but that adds rugged character. Plus, I know that if I ever have to use it as a tourniquet or to hogtie a wildebeest, it will be up to the task!

Needed a good belt for carrying a firearm and for holding my pants up. Durable and thick, and the measurement instructions are spot on; don't try and guess! this belt will last forever. Ordered the dark coffee brown, but will be purchasing another one in black. I was a little concerned about the flex marks that immediately appeared on the inside face of the belt when you start using it, but I really don't think it will be an issue in the future.

100% Awesome belt.

Excellent

I recommend saddleback to anyone who reads this review. First this company means what they say & does it. The quality of the product they sell matches their customer service. So I ordered the wrong size belt my mistake but that did not deter the service representative. She quickly understood my situation & proceed to get it right. Today I got the correct size. The construction of the belt is top notched. When they say their leather products over-engineered they mean it.

You don't wear this belt. This belt wears you!

Upon close inspection, this belt appears to be a very well made belt. The belt is nice enough to be an attractive dress belt. Nothing cheap and flimsy about this belt!

Great belt Dave! Another terrific product from you and your company, thank you.
I just got this belt and love it, it’s the best belt I’ve ever had. I know I’ll wear it and someone else will too further on down the road. I hope he’ll appreciate it as much as I do.
Thanks again for all of your great products.
