Thanks! I meant the style more generally. What would one search to find that type of slim belt with that type of buckle?

I actually just placed an order with Rubato.

I've been looking at Anderson's on Mr. Porter, and a lot of them are similar to what you posted. No experience, so I can't speak to the quality, but they seem reputable.

Not the same, but quite similar:

​

Our Hudson belts offer a classic look for a classy guy. They look great with suits, jeans, and everything in between. This buckle is made of solid brass and comes in 4 finishes -- shiny silver, brushed (matte) silver, gold, and antiqued brass.For a dressier look, we recommend choosing this...

They are known for their braided stretch leather belts, which are good quality. I have one that's holding up after about 5 years. I've had mixed success with their other offerings.

The Soho in 1" width is in fact the style I'm going for. I've ordered two. We'll see if they fit.

Thanks!

How about Maison Boinet? I've only seen this style from a Korean shop though.

This individual on Instagram (also has an Etsy shop) makes belts similar in style. I learned of him from a video on The Armoury's YouTube channel where Mark Cho mentions wearing a belt made by the individual.

Here is a black suede/roughout example similar to what you posted.

@whorishconsumer Ive detected a change in your obsessions/buying pattern. Are we seeing a move from strictly Japanese repro (or strictly RMC) to CM casual?

I'm looking for a classic but a bit chunkier black derbies and some obvious choices so far are dr martens, solovair and red wing postmans - also really liked evan kinori x trickers but feel the price is too high. Anyone can comment on any of these or recommend other options?

Paraboot Arles, Chambord (moc-toe), Avignon (split-toe), or Michael (tyrolean moc-toe-ish).

I think Raf Simons were popular on here for a while. I bought a pair and felt the quality didn't live up to the price, but that's true of almost all designer-label shoes. I assume you can find them on the second-hand market. Grained leather will be likely better than smooth since designers tend to use polished/ corrected grain leather.

IIRC, Trickers' Roberts was also popular, but they are also often made from corrected grain leather.

FWIW, I bought mine to wear with loose topcoats and chunky sweaters, and over time, I just found myself reaching for black Blundstones. The style is similar in vibe, if not exact shape, as many of these chunky black derby options.

Paraboot Arles, Chambord (moc-toe), Avignon (split-toe), or Michael (tyrolean moc-toe-ish).

None of these are "classic derby" styles. I like paraboot a lot but I can't see how these would fit.

@MGoCrimson showed us the Heschung Orme which look great.

Like OP said there's Docs and there are plenty of "nicer" variations.

I personally really like the C&J Lanark 3:

Lanark 3 Black Cavalry Calf

Lanark 3, a plain fronted derby shoe with a blind-seam facing. Made from the finest black cavalry calf featuring an oversized lightweight rubber sole from Vibram, with an storm welt for added waterproof protection.

Trickers x EK are just a base model with a bit of a markup but you can find the woodstock or robert derby for good prices around as well.
