The back of the belt is stamped with DESIGNED IN THE USA and ITALIAN LEATHER but right at the end of the belt there's a small stamp "made in China".

Try the Cabelas Roughneck which I used for the last four years. It is currently ten bucks in their online store and is made in America from a single piece of quality leather.

Last time I found a Carhartt belt in a store it was made in the USA, so I didn't check well enough. When an American worker is buying American work clothes it would be nice if they could make it clear which parts are not American. As an American worker I want to buy things, even if they cost a few bucks more, that keep my fellow Americans in work.
