  Has Hanks Belts changed ownership? Now junk?

  Thanks for posting this. I love my gunner belt in brown and I want one in black

  The gunner is one of their thicker over built options for sure. I'm going to need something else in the summer for shorts that are lighter weight but it works great for most pants.

  Sounds like op should maybe reach out to customer service on the most recent purchase. I have two gunners that I'm now wearing one daily, they are seconds and still better then what op has. I recently gave mine some TLC with saddle soap and Saphir Renovateur to keep them looking great. Highly recommend!

  I had a pretty similar experience. I bought a brown Gunner Stitched belt 3 years ago, and it has been great...so when it was time for me to replace my black belt, I bought a black Gunner Stitched belt a few months ago. It's definitely nowhere nearly as nice -- the back and edges aren't as well finished as they were on the brown belt, with flakes of leather coming off of the back. I understand that it's a single piece of leather, but the back side of my brown belt didn't have any flaking on the back. I've also had more issues with the black belt transferring dyes to my clothing. Not sure how much to attribute to black vs brown leather or to them dropping quality, though. When I contacted them, they said it's normal for the backs of their belts to have a "raw" finish.

  I have a Hank’s belt I bought (The Gunner) about 7 years ago. Every single day I’ve worn it and it has help up great. I also carry most days and that extra weight and stress hasn’t worn it down. I’ve lost some weight the past year and ordered a new belt from them just a month ago. Ordered the exact same one just smaller because I guess I don’t like variety. I was nervous quality would have dropped since COVID/inflaction, etc. Happy to say the belt is identical in quality and thickness as the one I’ve had for years. It’s just a bit smaller to fit my smaller waist. I have worn the new one everyday since I’ve received it and noticed absolutely no difference in quality.
