Leather Vanguard Belt - 1"


"It's a great belt, it's perfect with my dress shirt and trousers. As others have said, it has some brown elements so isn't suit formal but definitely country formal and office ready." - Andrew G.

1" Vanguard Belt

Smart looking belt. Nice design for dress up or dress down occasions. Well made without a doubt. Even the hardware is exeptional. Thank you to the Popov team for another quality and I'm sure long lasting product. Keep up the good work and don't forget to say hello to Althea and Rezel for me for providing great customer service.

You can feel the difference when you hold it. Its thick, heavy duty. You can tell its real leather. I have only wore it a few times but love the product. Will be buying more

My favourite Popov belt style and colour.

I own a large variety of Popov belts, but the 1" Vanguard in English Tan is my favourite.

This is my second time getting one, not because the first one wore out but because I lost a few pounds. :-)

Love it! Third belt I’ve ordered

Third belt I’ve ordered, the first was a huge hit, had to get two more as gifts for others. The design is classic and goes with many outfits.
I love that the belts are available in different widths as well.

WE RECEIVED THE BELT your company did not inform us of a $49

WE RECEIVED THE BELT your company did not inform us of a $49.36 tariff. which we received a bill for from Fed Ex on 12/4/25. Your sight currently says there are no tariffs. It did not appear to say on the site, the bill, or any where else that there was one when we purchased the belt. Belt was definitely not worth the price plus the tariff. It should have been posted that the item had a tariff attached. Poor communication on cost involved with product. = poor service.

Hi William - Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I want to assure you that all our products are fully USMCA/CUSMA compliant and should not incur any duties or taxes when shipped from Canada to the USA. We apologize for any confusion caused by the unexpected charge.

Someone from our team will be in touch to make things right. Thanks again!

3rd Popov product and purchase

Have purchased a wallet and belt in the past and loved the quality. My wife saw my last belt and decided she would like one as well. She has had it about a week now and is another satisfied Popov customer.

Looks fantastic, works great

A great belt that really goes well with dressier clothes, the additional stitching takes it up a notch.

Rough finishing

While I believe the belt will last a long time, I think for what I thought would be a dress belt, the overall finishing and quality of workmanship was low. I admit there's nothing on the website that claims dress belt fnishing, and I can only blame myself for thinking that a 1" black belt would be a good dress belt.

Hi Hugh, thank you for your feedback and we're so sorry the finishing didn’t meet your expectations. We're committed to your satisfaction and someone from our team will be reaching out to resolve this for you. 😊
