i bought a levis belt like 20 years ago , the leather still looks good today..
the newer from levis 5 years ago, oso looks good as of today..

can vouch for Braun Buffel, ayam using their holeless/trackline belt - 5years+ , same belt and buckle, sent to 'service' (include polishing)

U go kincing vera, wash hand tangan basah kena ur belt. Sure damaged ur belt faster

Is crocodile brand okay?

Huh??

How you wear?

I buy rm20 one can last for 5 years

I am using a belt from Coach. lasted me for like what more than 8 years and have not even age.

buy from premium outlet cheaper.

My leather belt lasted more than 10 years until today.. I only got one belt.

Stay away from department store belts regardless of the brands you see inside.

Go to proper established brands like Levis and look for Full Grain or Corrected Grain leather.

Bought my Levis at around RM250 8 years ago and still serves well

Or, if you want to try your luck with the pasar malam ones

Just get this bro. Cheap but been using mine for 3 years without a single peel.

Haiya TS. Almost all the belt brands selling outside are using cheap leather. Yes CHEAP LEATHER. It is real leather, but it is cheap.

The peeling belt you have is because it is sprayed with a thick layer of PU coating to make it look lit it is high quality. This is done to deceive people into believing that it is fine grain leather. But it is in fact low quality coarse leather. It is also done in shoes and wallets.

And it is so hard to find which belt is really made with good quality REAL LEATHER inside and outside.

I also think it is very stupid to pay RM200 for belt. If real leather cost RM400-700 it does not make sense to buy because it definitely comes from a brand name.

So like most people, go buy under RM 50 PU belt. After 1 year or more and it starts to get out of shape or peeling, then buy another. Unless you are buying the belt from a leather only produce shop, the chances of getting coated leather is rare.

Stop putting trust in RM150-200 belts just because it should be real leather. But it isn't. It is PU coated leather. Its the same with AI enhanced auntie doing tik tok. Its just fake over low quality real life person.

Also if you think i'm shitting on people, you know those RM200-500 Nike leather sneakers people buy? It is also loose grain leather sprayed with PU.

How about split leather? I reached out to Obermain and Crocodile, both said they use split leather, and it is genuine instead of synthetic. Is it also PU coated leather

Support local. They using buffalo leather.

Vaska

Uniqlo. The ones stamped with saddle leather is full grain and really high quality.

Polo belt lasted me almost 6-9 good years

I think those leather belts have shelf life too and you just bought one of them which almost.."dying"

Recently I bought a Crocodile belt RM8X, the material more to hard type, the promoter said it was real leather. I think it could last longer than my previous one - Alain Delon leather belt.
