Hi! I’m from Malaysia and am a proud owner of 3 sets of belts and buckles. They are more expensive than most belts and buckles that I know of in the stores over here but they are worth it! I have not worn any other belts since I bought my first Grip6 belt and buckle set 3 years ago when my wife and I visited our daughter in the US. Now, I have been wearing them with my daily work clothes and weekend casual wear. Many of my friends and colleagues have noticed and I am always happy to tell them about Grip6 belts and buckles! Looking forward to viewing all your videos fortnightly!

Gidday all the way from Auckland, New Zealand.
I remember seeing my first Grip6 add on YouTube such a long time a go and thinking I really want one of those buckles, but the cost of getting it shipped to NZ was quite expensive at the time so it put me off for a while. I did bite the bullet and shell out to get a 3 buckle set and they have been awesome and well worth the extra cost I paid back then to get them all the way down to NZ.
So my question to you is are you working to expand your brand outside the US as I know a lot of people in NZ that I’ve told about your products that would love to see them being sold locally as well. Also keen to see an episode on how your distribution works as well.
Keep churning out the great products.

My Grip 6 belt that I use for daily work wear has developed a spot that the buckle always likes to go to when I wear it, Kind of a groove. If I want to snug it up a little it just returns to the same spot. How can I restore the web to a smooth condition and get rid of the little groove from the spot the buckle lays in?

What is the best way to wash and dry my Grip 6 belts?

Your belts are the best. I would have never dreamed someone could design a belt that I would love for so many different reasons, from innovation to design and style. It’s good to know there are still companies out there doing it right. Keep up the good work.

I have the wallet and all I can say is “Wow!”.
But alas, what was the mad insane inspiration for this?
I have never seen anything like it and it is so dang cool….so grad the designer, pry their head open and share how this came into being.

I have only purchased the socks so far. I loved them, soft, well made, but only one drawback.. I should have ordered a size larger. One email and I have replacement socks one size larger headed my way with a return postage slip enclosed.. with most companies, I’d be stuck with socks a size too small.. and I got the email within 24 hrs.. love the product, love the customer service.. it’s a safe bet I’ll be a returning customer! ❤️

Has Grip 6 ever thought about having a Create Your Own or Design your own Buckle or product station or I guess a better would be customization center like Oakley has online? Just thinking that take all the designs you have currently and products and give your customer a creative freedom and make it.
I have a Grip 6 wallet and leather wrap and a couple of screws on the thumb hole stock are coming loose and have come out a couple of times. Where can one go to find the tool used to fix it or what is the next step to having this fixed?

(No need to post this comment/question). Any chance You’ll be able to deliver to New Zealand any time soon?
Appart from that… I like what you’re doing, should be very informative.
Thanks.

Where do you get your webbing from?

I am a happy owner of multiple belts and buckles and would like to try your socks, possibly. My question is, as a proud public school math teacher from Illinois: Are your employees union workers?

The Grip6 belt is seriously the best belt I have ever worn. I do have a question for y’all. Are you planning on designing a gun belt? I am sure a lot of the Grip6 users also are CCW holders. I would love to have a Grip6 style gun belt!!

How about designing & producing a guitar strap? One that will work on standard strap pins, will hold the guitar securely & doesn’t require an aftermarket locking mechanism.
Emerson
Purchased a few belts & they’re high quality & look great no complaints .

Love the concept and video. Just remember, it’s okay to talk to the camera without walking toward it. :)
What would it take to manufacture denim jeans?

Belt, wallet, and sock owner here. Can you explain how government overregulation makes your business more difficult? For example, I saw a video about a cookie company that had to send a sample of EVERY batch of cookies to the state lab for testing. For big companies it isn’t a big deal since they make massive batches, but the small baker couldn’t do that so had to spend time and money doing more. I think most people don’t fully comprehend what makes domestic manufacturing so difficult and expensive.

As part of your wallet Kickstarter, I saw the production process from start to finish. What impressed me most was how you took the “failure” of version 1.0 and the accompanying financial hit, admitted the shortcomings of the product, then went about fixing them. It was nice to see your transparency throughout the process; we saw your struggles as well as successes. My question, why does some of your advertising contain profanity if you are a family-oriented business (“guarand_mntee”)?

Great video idea. Looking forward to the series. We all need to get serious about supporting American companies, and I will do so with you guys as much as I can. My pressing question this time around: I noticed the basketball hoop in the office: Who is the best 3-point shooter on the Grip6 team?

Question: you make cool wallets, cool belts, and now socks…these three just seem in related (some folks do wallets and leather goods, some belts and pants.. lol). I mean how’d you get from the most innovative belt in the world to wool socks? From wallet to belt? Am I missing something? What’s on the horizon? A

I love your products, I’m interested in simplicity that effectively works. And a sucker for innovation. I still remember watching your old ads and it got me sold with a solid build for a belt that works and even last a lifetime. I loved that concept so much so I didn’t mind having it shipped all the way to our country. Then came your wallet series, I just had to get it and even bought another one as a gift. The concept of bringing back “American made” resonates pride and good old days of quality products. Thanks for the sticker by the way! I proudly wear the product badge on my truck!
My ask for this upcoming video is, with the product lineup of belts, wallets and then socks, what’s up next in your secret lab for us to look forward to and try?
Gordon
I have several products from G6, 14 card wallet, half a dozen belts c/w buckles, I especially like the belts from the chess series. Are you able to order that belt instead of the regular belt? Your customer service is superb. Thank you Mandy. Gordon
Patrick McDonough
Thanks for the amazing products you make…and for keeping my pants from falling down whilst looking good doing it. :)
My question is a 2 parter…where do you get your inspiration…and what was the most fun project/design that never made it to market?
Andy Charles
Nicely done! I literally just put on my first Grip6 belt today, it arrived yesterday. Let’s see how it performs for the first couple of weeks…I mean first fortnight!
Mary
Grip6 saved the day for me when seeking to find a secure belt that would lay flat against me. I love its unique buckle design. Although I don’t usually wear this belt for show, it is attractive enough to do so should I decide to. I appreciate the quality of Grip6 and am looking forward to more of your videos. I was wondering if your company would ever consider using your belt closure method on other types of products. Thank you.
Lizzie
My family loves your socks and belts. Where do you get the wool to make your awesome socks? Is it from American flocks?
