Reddit reviews Occidental Leather 5008 M 1-1/2in Working Mans

$43 on Amazon. It looks like they have their products for sale in certain hardware stores if you want to see it in person before purchasing...there is a dealer locator on their website. Amazon reviews complain about the bleeding that the previous poster talked about...so keep that in mind.

I've worn this belt by Occidental Leather every day for the past three years and aside from some minor scuffs and a small divot from my rear belt loop, it still looks and feels almost like new; despite having keys/knives/phone/badge clipped to it every day.

Prior to getting this belt I was in a similar position as you, my belts would last a few months before parts of the leather would start to wear out forcing me to buy a new belt.

The company that makes the belt, Occidental Leather manufacture their products right here in Occidental California, and their primary business is heavy duty construction belt systems, and this "casual" belt is manufactured to the same quality. The only downside is that the company only offers this one "casual belt" which is fairly utilitarian.
While it works for everyday wear, and even "business casual" to some extent (with nice jeans), it doesn't really work for professional/formal outfits.
