Are there any belts that last a long time? 3 belts to choose from to make your belt last as long as possible

Belts are consumable items. With continued use, the metal fittings can break and the belt itself can become easily torn. Especially for businessmen who use their belts every day, it is important to extend their lifespan as much as possible.

In this article, we will introduce how to choose and maintain your belt to extend its lifespan, as well as recommended belts.

1. How long is the lifespan of a belt?

Generally, the lifespan of a belt depends largely on the frequency of use and the environment. On average, it is said to last about six months to a year, but if used daily, the belt holes may widen and the buckle may break after just three to four months.

This can be due to the following factors:

  • Constant pulling force around the waist
  • Sweat and humidity in the summer penetrate the belt and accelerate deterioration.
  • Incorrect storage method or material selection

To ensure durability, proper maintenance according to usage conditions is essential.

2. What to do to make your belt last longer

Careful storage of pants

Avoid leaving your trouser belt in the closet with your trousers attached, as this can cause the belt to become warped and lead to mold due to moisture.

Proper storage:

  • Remove the belt and hang it on the dedicated hanger.
  • Dry in the shade in a well-ventilated place
  • Use waterproof spray to protect against moisture

Be careful not to expose it to direct sunlight as this may cause cracking and discoloration.

Diligent care is important

Regular cleaning of the belt can significantly extend its lifespan.

Specific care instructions:

  • If you find any dirt, wipe it off immediately
  • Wipe dry, then wipe with water if necessary
  • Avoid moisture and allow to dry completely

Genuine leather belts are particularly vulnerable to moisture, so handle them with care.

Alternating between two or more belts

If you use the same belt every day, its durability will decrease. By alternating between multiple belts, you can spread out the frequency of use and extend the life of your belts.

Also, choosing a belt that matches the color of your shoes will improve the overall look of your suit.

3. Three recommended long-lasting belts

STYLE= is a business accessory brand that sells a variety of belts. Many of our products are made with careful attention to the materials, design, origin, and concept.

Recommendation 1. The Strongest Business Belt That Lasts Long and Won't Crack

https://store.styleequal.com/products/th-ta-1-2

This belt truly lives up to its name: "Strongest."

"The belt holes quickly widen and become unusable."
"Maybe it's less durable than I thought."
"It cracked so I had to replace it."

In response to these requests, the STYLE= development team aimed to create a more durable and long-lasting belt.
After much trial and error in collaboration with a long-established manufacturer with many years of experience, we have finally completed this "strongest belt."

Durable and waterproof "PorVair" material

Paul Bear

PorVair is a state-of-the-art waterproof man-made leather developed in the UK.
It has a proven track record of being used in harsh environments, such as in baseball belts , and its strength and reliability are well-known.

Excellent durability

The pole bearing material used in the "Strongest Belt" is based on highly abrasion-resistant polyurethane (PU) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
It is resistant to friction and pressure, can withstand everyday use, and is also highly resistant to moisture and dirt .

Genuine leather-like texture

Embossing and precise surface treatment technology give Paul Bear the feel and luxury of genuine leather.
In consumer tests, it has been praised as being "indistinguishable from genuine leather," and it can be used in a wide range of situations, from formal to casual .

Lightweight and comfortable to wear

Belts made from Paul Bear material are 30-50% lighter than genuine leather.
It is comfortable to wear for long periods of time and can be used comfortably in everyday business situations .

Good cost performance

Paul Bear does not use any animal-derived materials, which allows for reduced manufacturing costs.
As a result, it has been well received by many users as a high-quality product at an affordable price .

Eco-friendly materials

Paul Bear is made without any animal ingredients and is a vegan-friendly option.
In addition, as a recyclable material, it also contributes to reducing environmental impact.

The secret to durability comes from the core material

The secret behind the core material of the "strongest belt"

The nonwoven fabric cores used in typical belts have the drawback of being prone to cracking and widening holes after long-term use.
However, the Strongest Belt solves these problems by using a thick, tanned leather core.
It has solid strength from the core , making it a durable belt that can be used for a long time.

Beautiful stitching that shows craftsmanship

The strongest belt with beautiful stitching

The "Strongest Belt" is manufactured by a long-established tannery based in Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture.
Craftsmen with many years of experience working with high-end brands both in Japan and overseas have achieved beautiful, regular stitching .
The careful finish is truly worthy of being called a work of art.

The buckle is also perfect

Strongest belt buckle design

The buckle of the "Strongest Belt" is both durable and comfortable to use.
The wrap-around design prevents scratches on the belt surface .
This helps the pants maintain a secure fit and last longer.

Things to know before purchasing

The "Strongest Belt" is so strong that it is difficult to cut with ordinary scissors.
For this reason, we offer two sizes: M size (waist up to 95cm) and L size (waist up to 105cm) .
If you are unsure about which size to choose, please feel free to contact us.

Key points of the "salaryman belt" chosen for business

There are three important factors to consider when choosing a business belt: type, width, and color . Let's take a closer look at each of these points.

① Choose by type

Belts are often overlooked, but they are an important accessory that adds a finishing touch to your overall look.
If you're looking for a first belt, we recommend a simple plain belt .
It goes well not only with suits, but also with jackets and casual outfits, so having one is a versatile piece to have.

② Choose by width

The width of your belt can make a big difference. Here are some guidelines to follow:

  • 2.8cm to 3.0cm or less: Ideal for business suits
  • 3.5cm: Suitable for both business and casual occasions
  • 4.0cm and above: For casual wear
For business use, it is safest to choose a belt that is 2.8cm to 3.5cm wide.

③ Choose by color

When choosing a belt, the color is also an important consideration.
Matching the color of your shoes will create a sense of unity.
A black belt is recommended for black shoes , and a brown belt for brown shoes .
If you don't have a shoe collection yet, black is a safe choice to start with.

The simple design means you won't get bored of it

The design of the office worker belt is characterized by simple and sophisticated beauty .
It can be used for a wide range of occasions, from business to formal, making it a reliable piece for any occasion.

"Fairly good" leather made with the pursuit of quality

I would like to call it "high-quality cowhide," but I would prefer to describe it as "average leather."
We place emphasis on cost performance and use a high-quality second layer , so we offer it at an affordable price.
The surface is available in two types: smooth leather, which is soft, and grained leather, which makes scratches less noticeable.
The inside is made of synthetic leather, which is resistant to sweat and moisture and does not fade easily.

A buckle that creates individuality

Since the belt is visible when wearing a suit, choosing the right buckle is important.
From standard to stylish and unique designs, buckles allow you to subtly express your individuality .
Find a piece that suits you and will elevate your impression in business situations.

Recommendation 3: Authentic cowhide belts

The quality of genuine leather is felt the moment you touch it

If you're looking for a belt suitable for a mature man, we recommend this genuine leather belt.
Its features include a smooth feel and flexibility when bent , making it a product you can use with confidence in any situation.
The unique appeal of genuine leather is that each piece has a different look.
No two belts are exactly the same, so the belt that arrives to you will truly be your "one and only."
Be sure to get your hands on these items, made with carefully selected materials that will deepen in flavor the more you use them.

Unique "design"

The genuine leather of this belt has a different "grained" finish in different places.
The three-dimensional effect of the grained finish further enhances the luxurious feel, and the simple yet eye-catching design is appealing.
It also features luxurious genuine leather on both sides , and attention has been paid to every detail.

The buckle that defines your style

There are five different buckles to choose from, which determine the impression of the belt.
Each buckle has a luxurious feel that rivals genuine leather , and is simple yet eye-catching.
It is sure to be a useful "lucky belt" for business situations or special occasions.

4. Suspenders

Suspenders are recommended for those who have problems such as "belts cause wrinkles around the waist" or "adjusting them is a hassle."

Benefits of suspenders:

  • Less strain on the shoulders
  • Maintain a beautiful silhouette
  • Designed to be hidden under a jacket

The suspenders sold by Style Equal are items that combine comfort and style.
