I needed a new black belt a few months ago and picked up this belt manufactured by Dickies.  The belt is of high grade leather and I've worn it almost everyday for the past two months and there is hardly any wear and tear on the belt. It's a great belt for a very reasonable price.  I realize that some might be put-off by the Dickie's brand because it's not very upscale.  However, Dickies produce great quality products that look nice that average American people can actually afford.
