1. What is the lifespan of a belt?

It is said that the average lifespan of a trouser belt is about six months .
Wearing the same thing every day will exponentially reduce its durability.
Because it is wrapped around the waist, it is constantly pulled, causing the belt holes to widen,
When used in the summer, the belt absorbs sweat and deteriorates.
With daily use, the lifespan will gradually decrease.

The lifespan of a belt varies from person to person because the frequency of use varies.
For those who wear the belt every day, it seems that the belt holes often become wider and the buckle breaks after about 3 to 4 months.

2. What to do to make your belt last longer

In order to make your belt last longer, there are other things to keep in mind, such as not only maintenance but also storage method.
Although diligence is necessary to extend the life of leather products, it is not necessary to maintain them every day.
If you take the following precautions immediately after putting on your trouser belt, you will not notice a significant decrease in its durability.
It doesn't take much effort, just a few minutes of maintenance and cleaning can help extend the life of your trouser belt.

1. Be careful when storing your pants

Leaving your trouser belt in your dresser or closet at home with it still attached is not good for your belt.
If left as is, the belt can become warped or sweat can seep in, causing mold to grow.
Remove your trouser belt from your trousers and hang it on a hanger to prevent it from becoming bent and to prevent mold growth.



Store in a well-ventilated place

Trouser belts cannot be washed in a washing machine, but you can wash them by hand.
After washing, if you leave it as is, it may cause mold to grow, so absorb any remaining moisture with a towel or something and store it in a well-ventilated place.
Dry in the shade in a well-ventilated area rather than exposing it to direct sunlight.

Exposing your trouser belt to the sun will shorten the time it takes to dry, but it may cause the belt to crack or fade later on.
If this happens, the durability of the belt will be significantly reduced, so you must be careful.

Although it will take time, drying in the shade is enough to evaporate the moisture.
Once it is thoroughly dry, spray the entire trouser belt with a waterproof spray to further prevent its lifespan from being shortened.

2. Diligent maintenance is important

If it gets dirty, wipe it off immediately

Whether you wear a trouser belt every day or not, dust and dirt will accumulate on it over time.

During the summer when we sweat a lot, the belt of our trousers absorbs sweat, so if we neglect to take care of it, it becomes prone to mold growth.
Basically, if you realize that your trouser belt is dirty, wipe it off as soon as possible.
The recommended frequency for cleaning and maintenance is about once per season.
To remove dirt or dust from your trouser belt, try scraping it off with a brush before wiping it off, and if the stain is stubborn, wet a towel with water, wring it out tightly, and then wipe the stain off.
Depending on the trouser belt, using a neutral detergent may cause the color to fade or the shape to become distorted, so be sure to read the instruction manual carefully before using detergent.

Wipe with water appropriately

With continued use, dust and dirt will accumulate on trouser belts even though it is not visible to the naked eye, so it is important to wipe them down regularly with water.
However, genuine leather is sensitive to moisture, so it is important to avoid exposing it to too much moisture.

First, wipe it dry with a dry towel, then wipe it with water.
If moisture remains in the belt, it may develop mold, so it is best to dry it in the shade in a well-ventilated place until all the moisture inside the trouser belt has been completely removed.

You don't need to wipe your trouser belt with water every day. Water is the enemy, so if you make a habit of wiping it with water a few times a month, it will help extend the life of your belt.

3. Alternate two or more belts

Just like with sneakers, it is important to alternate between multiple belts in order to extend the life of a single belt.
People who wear suits and trouser belts every day, such as businessmen, tend to have a shorter lifespan.
If you loosen the position of the belt holes a little, the force placed on your stomach area will be reduced, which will increase the durability of your trouser belt.
Using two or more belts not only increases the durability of each belt,
Having several different belts that match the color of your shoes can take your suit style up a notch.
