โ€50,000 men have made the switchโ€ what does that even mean? Are they now exclusively using this belt? Only buying belts made from this brand? Are they measuring monthly active users? Itโ€™s not a cellphone carrier, youโ€™re allowed to have multiple belts.

Just link the site and give a product summary and your experience if any, we don't need to see the marketing.

Thank you for pointing this out, I only had a superficial look at the original picture, but indeed it doesn't feel right

Iโ€™m really happy with the two belts Iโ€™ve bought from Lee river leather in Cork, Ireland. A bit expensive for what I am used to paying for a belt, but after a few years theyโ€™re holding up great. Overall worth it to me.

I got a great belt from Klamra as a gift. Beautiful brass buckle design and solid leather belt (not thin leather that's stitched together). Even came with good instructions for personalizing the fit. Plus you're contributing to the Ukrainian economy! Klamra

I bought my current belts from Vegan Store in London (๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง UK). The belts that they sell are made in ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡น Portugal from ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น Italian vegan leather. They were shipped to me (๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช Germany) from a warehouse in the ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Netherlands. I am quite satisfied with them.

I got some off them from Kickstarter. I think the company was called different, but completely the same thing

Was actually a nice belt and I got a second one. But both were dead after like 2 years.

I have to admit though, that I wore them exclusively

Lanx make belts now as well as shoes and other accessories. If their belts are as good as their shoes.... I'd be very happy
