I've worn a Carhartt Journeyman's belt for 7 years and it held up very well.  One of the best belts I've ever had.  I'd still wear it if I didn't add 4" to my gut:)

However, the new Carhartt Journeyman's belt doesn't appear to be made of the same material. It looks like a bonded leather belt and one other reviewer thought so as well.

Fortunately returns were painless on Amazon.  Consider purchasing an Orion Latigo belt instead.  They are $15 more than the Journeyman belt, but well worth the cost in mho.
