Benchcraft. Made in Canada and extremely reasonable prices.
Best value per dollar in my books. |

Magnanni - nice rich leather, nice hardware and high quality at an incredible value. I love the burnishing they do on their belts.
As much as I’m a brand whore, I can’t seem to get into high-end designer belts.

I daily wear a black braided belt as jeans in the winter and polo shorts in the summer is my attire. Seems almost all of the department store braided belts that sell for 30-40 dollars are made from artificial leather which is total junk and they start to fall apart within a few months. Found a genuine leather braided belt on Amazon for believe it or not around $15 and so far it has held up. Can't understand the whole imitation leather thing. It is utter junk that doesn't last. Whether it be a belt, wallet or work boots there is absolutely no substitute for genuine leather.

Their stuff is very nice. You could also find a good place to make you some bespoke.

Santa wears a nice black belt! I'll be seeing him in a few weeks and I'll ask him where he gets them made.

Most of my belts have been custom made by my friends at L.E.N. — our of Franklin Tennessee - any materials and colors you would desire - and reasonable prices.
Also have a few Hermès, Tom Fords and Ferragamos in the collection - just because I’m a big shoe guy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I have LV, Hermes & Coach belts. Coach and Hermes are still in good shape. Can't say the same for LV.

The best one I have is a Marlboro Classic made of cow and python. Almost 20 years old now and looks like new. Needless to say, I'll never buy a LV belt again.

gucci,
what s important is the fit , you should know where you wear your trousers on hip or above since it makes big difference (for some ppl huge )the length required .

I’ve have several belts from Fleming’s that are over 25 years old. Have held up amazingly well. However for the past several years I’ve had my alligator belts made by the same house that makes my wallets. John Allen Woodward. His stuff is a few notches above Fleming.

For all casual/recreation wear, which is 95% of the time, I eliminated all leather belts, and started wearing Grip6 belts. Infinite combinations to coordinate with clothing, activity, watch, shoes, etc., from kayaking to casual business. Started with a combo pack, and now have all colors of webs and 20+ buckles.

Try my buddy Jay at Jacob Hill by Piedmont Leather. Great belts and he'll stand by the quality.
