I only owned my Grip6 belt for just under two weeks and the buckle is permanently stained by a single drop of grease that fell from a lemon pepper hot wing I was eating. Dawn Platinum dish soap wasn’t even enough match fo remove this stain and that’s because the dripping from the hot wing was not on the belt buckle itself for no longer than a minute or two tops. This is just shameful based on the cost of these Grip6 belts and buckles. “Made in the USA” or not. I definitely do NOT recommend buying a Grip6 belt. I’ll probably just go back to wearing a leather Levi’s belt to be honest. Those are at least easy to keep clean and don’t stain so easy.
