All of the cheap clothing on Amazon with odd brand names is the same stuff you can buy from China. I image-searched AliExpress for an Amazon swimsuit I liked, and bought it for $7.50 instead of $26. If you can wait 2 weeks, you can save money.

But sometimes you just need something in 2 days, right? I recently purchased these belts, and they’re great. The pull-through buckle is nice because you don’t have that “hole 2 is too big, hole 3 is too small” issue I always seem to have, and they work with any rise of pants. These are your Goldilocks belts, and you get three of them in one box.

They give you a tool to punch a hole if you want to shorten the belt. I sat there for a good 20 minutes with a mallet, pounding away at the belts and embossing a perfect circle in the leather before I went for power tools. The leather layer is thin, but the backing is impermeable. Drill a hole first, then use the included tool to clean up the edges.
