I like Milt Sparks and Ted Blocker belts. Mitch Rosen also makes good belts. Good belts aren't cheap but they last decades.

Filson bridle leather, double layer, stitched belt 1 1/2".
They are up to about $130 now (used to be ~$90) but they are the bast I have had (2 over 20+ years with everyday use.)
Inventory is low recently as far as sizes. Hopefully they will continue to make them. If not, I will be heading to the local harness shop as well.

Don't buy Walmart belts. I'm sure most of the suggestions above are good belts, but you don't have to spend $80 or more for a belt. Maybe $30-$40. You can find decently made belts made by Carhart, Ariat, etc. at Cabelas, Tractor Supply, or any western store.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

garyh9900; Good afternoon to you sir, I hope the day has been a good one for you and you're well. While I've not personally got one from our member scenarshooter here, as well as his Montana Slings he lists belts on his website and they do look very stout to me. https://www.montanagunslings.com/belts.phpIf he's no longer making them, I apologize in advance but it might be worth asking? Good luck whichever way you go with the belt and good hunting as well. Dwayne

If one has the time and the tools , leather work is quite therapeutic. I am not master at it but was always intrigued by those artisans who made saddles. Finely took the time to work on some of my own leather goods, or just go to the Amish walmart. We have one here in Cashton!

I got a Buffalo hide belt from SD. Cheap it was not but hand made in USA. I sure won’t be able to wear it out.

Tractor Supple carries some heavy leather work belts, $15-$17. Full2" ,Takes awhile to soften, but they wear like harness leather.

If you have an Amish or Mennonite tack/harness shop anywhere around you, go visit them. Have a fella here in NW Pa that makes awesome belts for about $40-45. Hold Up well to daily carry use. Have a couple I keep for "nice" and a couple around the house.

I haven’t carried with it, but have some VersaCarry belts. To me they are hell for stout. Water buffalo leather.
