We never wash our belts, although they are the first thing we touch when leaving the toilet, even before we wash our hands

There's a lot of shitty "leather" belts that look great but fall apart rather quickly. I also tend to go through belts on my work pants, but I work construction and that is hard on the leather

Exactly. I have one really expensive belt my uncle gave me that I’ve been wearing since about 2012 and it’s just fine.

I have trashed several Walmart belts in that time.

I have a Dickies belt that has held up pretty well too.

And there's always that torn up section on the right hip where the tape measure goes

Get some dubbin and treat your leather products with it. They will last longer if they are treated right.
