Where do you get wallets and belts that LAST?

Tanner Goods

Now we’re getting somewhere! Have you bought anything from this outfit? They look great online.
I’ve had Columbia, Fossil, Cole, and a bunch of other swish brands that Mrs Grouse bought me. The belts, especially those for dress clothes only last a year or less because the outer layer strats to crack and peel around the buckle. They all seem to be made with a cheap vinyl coating to make them shiny and that top layer cracks and looks terrible, so in the trash the belt goes.
I always use a trifold wallet, and they last a year before they look like hell. All brands seem to be about the same.
It seems to be easier to get a casual/field clothing belt. Filson works great for this. Real leather dress clothing belts seem really hard to find.
BTW, I’m so anal retentive I put leather conditoner on all my belts, watch straps, shoes, etc, a couple of times a year. Doesn’t matter for the cheap belts, doesn’t seem to do a thing to prolong life.
I think I might order up a belt from that Tanner Goods and try them, but they have to be made to order. Prices seem pretty reasonable, maybe a little too good to be true. Is this stuff really handmade? Wonder how long it takes to get one?

March 23, 2014 at 8:19 am #1398527The every 10 years or so I take a trip to Mexico, I try to buy a belt there. Good quality, handmade, solid leather belts can be found there for under $20. Wallets will probably be a little more.

You must be the “man bag” type then. Something to keep your lip gloss in.

I always laugh when I see someone walking around with their pants on the ground- pants on the ground. Pretty 2010-ish
March 24, 2014 at 8:06 am #1398730I have a Filson belt that is somewhere between 8-10 years old and looks as good as the day that I got it. Well worth the $$

You must be chuckling at 97% of the male population over the age of 18.
When you move out of your parent’s basement, hitch up your low-riders, and get a job, suddenly you may find that they expect you to wear business-appropriate clothing. For the last couple of centuries, that has included a belt.
I suppose I could always keep my money and credit cards in my sock. Or are socks out of style as well?

I have a son in law that is very proud that he never carries cash, thus a thin wallet. Pisses me off on the occasions when cash is required and he acts like he doesn’t know what to do…March 24, 2014 at 1:23 pm #1398871Duluth Trading. high quality everything. Great customer service too.
March 24, 2014 at 1:49 pm #1398881My son is like that too, although years ago I tried to tell him he needs to carry some cash,license,I.d.in a wallet that keeps your sh%* organized. Now when he is asked for any of the above and struggles I just tell him, I TOLD YOU SO YOU FOOL.
