buy a genuine leather belt and should last more than a year. not those ones with the glued shiny top layer though. thats the first to go.... i got a few belts wear alternatively depending on baju. can last around 3-6 years already. the shiney buckles also are a problem. best to get matte finish.

haha. yeah... hard to tell. kena just look and smell etc. so far the best belt i bought RM100 from pertama complex. had the cow skin there.... just cut to length. damn nais. that was 8 years ago. belt still in damn good condition even through regular usage. maybe you go check out pertama? is that still open even... hmm. havent gone in ages hahahah can even bring your own buckle if you want.
