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

長持ちするベルトはあるの?少しでも長く使うために選ぶべきベルト3選 - スタイルイコール

Belts are consumables. With continued use, the metal fittings can break and the belt itself can become easily cut. 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 a 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 greatly on the frequency of use and the environment. On average, it is said to last about six months to a year, but if used every day, the belt holes may widen and the buckle may break after 3 to 4 months.

This can be due to the following factors:

  • There is 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

Be careful when storing your trousers

Do not leave your belt in the closet with it still attached to your trousers. The belt may become warped or may develop mold due to moisture.

Proper Storage:

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

Be careful not to expose it to direct sunlight as this can cause cracks and fading.

Diligent maintenance 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 dry completely

Genuine leather belts are particularly vulnerable to moisture, so care should be taken when handling them.

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 the belt.

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 particular about the material, design, place of origin, and concept.

Recommendation 1. The strongest, long-lasting business belt that won't crack

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

This belt is truly worthy of the name "strongest."

"The belt holes get wider quickly 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 belt that would be more durable and last longer.
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 synthetic 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.

Extremely durable

The pole bearing material used in the "Strongest Belt" is based on highly abrasion-resistant polyurethane (PU) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
Not only is it resistant to friction and pressure, and can withstand everyday use, but it is also highly resistant to moisture and dirt .

Genuine leather texture

Using embossing and precise surface treatment technology, Paul Bear achieves a luxurious feel and texture that is just like genuine leather.
It has been praised in consumer tests as being "indistinguishable from genuine leather," and 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 without getting tired, and can be used comfortably in everyday business situations .

Good value for money

Polbear does not use any animal-derived materials, which allows for reduced manufacturing costs.
As a result, it is popular with many users as a high-quality product at an affordable price .

Eco-friendly materials

Paul Bear uses no animal ingredients and is a vegan-friendly option.
In addition, as it is a recyclable material, it also contributes to reducing the environmental impact.

The secret to durability comes from the core material

The secret behind the core material of the "Strongest Belt"

The non-woven fabric cores used in typical belts have the drawback of being prone to cracks and holes widening over long periods of 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 highlights craftsmanship

Strongest belt with beautiful stitching

The "Strongest Belt" is manufactured by a long-established tannery based in Himeji, 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 perfect too

Strongest belt buckle design

The "Strongest Belt" buckle is both durable and comfortable to use.
The wrap-around design is designed to prevent scratches on the belt surface .
This will help your trousers maintain a good fit and last longer.

Things you should know before purchasing

The "Strongest Belt" is so strong that it is difficult to cut with ordinary scissors.
Therefore, 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.

Recommendation 2. No. 1 men's belt ranking: "Salaryman Belt"

https://store.styleequal.com/products/th-chbelt5

The popularity of this belt is proven by its proven track record.

"389 bottles sold out within an hour of the sale starting!"
"12 amazing designs available"
"3,197 reviews, 4.44 stars"
"Ranked #1 in Rakuten's men's belt rankings"

These achievements demonstrate the reliability and popularity of this product.

Key points for choosing the "salaryman belt" 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 can add 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 will give you versatile use.

② Choose by width

The width of your belt can make a big difference in how you look. 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 choice of color is also important.
Matching the colour of your shoes will create a unified look.
Choose a black belt for black shoes and a brown belt for brown shoes .
If you don't have a pair of shoes yet, black is a good choice to start with.

The simple design means you won't get bored

The design of the office worker belt is characterized by its simple and sophisticated beauty .
It can be used for a wide range of occasions, from business to formal, so it is a piece you can rely on in any situation.

"Fairly good" leather made with the pursuit of quality

I would like to say that it is "high-quality cowhide," but I would prefer to describe it as "average quality 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 back is made of synthetic leather, which is resistant to sweat and moisture and does not fade easily.

A buckle that shows your 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 enhance your impression in business situations.

Recommendation 3: Genuine cowhide belts

https://store.styleequal.com/products/fkbel60

The quality of genuine leather is apparent the moment you touch it.

If you are 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 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, which are made with carefully selected materials and whose flavor deepens 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 striking design is appealing.
It also features a luxurious design with genuine leather on both sides , and attention has been paid to every detail.

Buckles that define 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 striking.
It is sure to be useful as a "lucky belt" for business situations or special occasions.

4. Suspenders

If you have problems like "belts cause wrinkles around the waist" or "it's a hassle to adjust," we recommend suspenders.

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 an item that combines comfort and style.
