I had two cheap leather belts fail recently. Their buckles were made from some sort of cast potmetal, although they looked stainless and polished. At some point they just snap and break, one broke when I dropped the belt to the floor, and the other did so without any reason. As of now, all I have left, is a old Soviet officers leather belt from the 60's, the kind without insignia. In any case, I would like to buy some decent US made leather belt, with a decent buckle, something to wear for decades etc.
I do not understand what makes a good belt, besides some obvious considerations, so I wanted to hear what other people know about it.
