What Makes a Leather Belt Actually Last

Most leather belts sold today are structurally doomed from the factory — bonded leather, single rivet buckles, and edges that fray within months.

Whether you're carrying gear or just want a belt that lasts a decade, learn what separates a buy-it-for-life investment from a disposable fashion accessory.
