I also have a belt that is going on 20 years. Ol' lucky brown. Running out of holes though ...
My back up has been around for probably about 6 years.
My work black belts see much higher turnover.

I think you should all post pics of your belts.
Preferably without an overhanging Molson muscle.

Had a leather one from Randy River that lasted about 12 years. I've since picked up a leather one at a western store of all places that's held up extremely well over the last 3.
Dress belts I go through more often however.

Fine, I'll wear a shirt. But I'm not putting on pants.

I got the belt I'm wearing 13 years ago, it's lasted through a tonne of punishment and still looks and wears great.
It's a nice brown leather that is starting to really darken in areas from wear. It's real' worked in.
I love you, Belty.

I bet they made 13 year old peter12 a luxurious studded belt and he's been going to see his good pal Armondo ever since.

I got a beauty, stole her from a friend (well, borrowed and never returned) about 4 years ago and I wear her most days. Just a simple black leather job but it looks cool and is clearly made rather well - good belt!

I switch between 3 belts I bought in 2005. Going to buy a new cheap one for travelling though. As these 3 are to heavy to bring along with me.

Do you think suspenders will ever make a comeback? Or are they doomed to remain a niche product?

They have kinda come back with the younger generation and suits.
As normal everyday dress, probably not. lol

Anyone else expecting the next post to be from peter12, who wears suspenders that are made by a craftsman in Lithuania who only takes order by pigeon-carried letter?

I work from home, so I only wear a belt when not wearing shorts - 20 times a year. My belt was my Dad's originally and it was super old when I got it. Thing must be pretty close to 30 years old

The first one i had broke. That one lasted 2 years. The new one i have is just a few weeks old. Better quality so it should last longer
