minus-squareRetix@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 year agoThere’s a lot of shitty “leather” belts that look great but fall apart rather quickly. I also tend to go through belts on my work pants, but I work construction and that is hard on the leather

minus-squaretheangryseal@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoExactly. I have one really expensive belt my uncle gave me that I’ve been wearing since about 2012 and it’s just fine. I have trashed several Walmart belts in that time. I have a Dickies belt that has held up pretty well too.
