This is the dress belt I have. I have one in black and one in brown. Based on what my tailor told me, dress belts are a little different than the typical belt as they're thinner and aren't supposed to bulge the belt loops. Almost all dress belts I ran into were easily over $100. Anything less than that price other than the Brooks Brothers ones looked closer to casual belt than dress belt, but still cost around $40-60. There was weirdly very little in between those two price points.
The two dress belts I nabbed from Brooks brothers are about 3 and 4 years old and other than the normal buckle impressions beside the most commonly used belt hole and the curving of the belt, wear and tear is minimal. Any belt that I wear that is not made of quality leather gets shredded and destroyed. I really like this belt because it's one of the cheapest dress belts out there, looks like a proper dress belt and is very durable.
