Gavadi Leather Belt

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N6H0VNA





This is a leather belt that I received at no charge in exchange for this review.

The belt seems to be made with a reasonably good quality leather. What's unique about this belt is that instead of traditional holes and a traditional belt buckle that includes a prong that is inserted through the holes, this belt has a completely different buckling mechanism. The belt slides into the buckle, and then "clicks" into any of a number of positions, with notched indentations on the back of the belt. There is a release mechanism that allows the belt to slide out. (If one does not use the release mechanism, the belt can be tightened but not loosened.)

The belt arrived in a nice drawstring pouch, in a solidly made black gift box, with gold lettering. The packaging is certainly suitable if one wanted to purchase this belt as a gift.

One concern I have is whether or not the notches will wear down a bit with regular usage. I know that with traditional belts I have owned, the hole used most frequently winds up expanding, due to wear. This is generally not a big problem with traditional leather belts. If the notches on this belt wear out, however, one would not be able to use the belt at that length, and would need to select a different notch / length.

The belt itself, and the buckle are attractive. If you'd like to try a belt with a different buckling mechanism, this might be a good one to try.
