Nearly a decade back I bought an Amish belt from Hank's Belts. Just a generic black leather belt. It was very good quality and thick for then mid $20s.
I used the crap out of this belt, to the point it was scarred, wavy and just not nice. So, I picked up their upgraded version that is stitched around rim. Yes, it cost a little more.
Well, I've worn this one in too and its getting a bit ugly also. I was looking for a replacement and didn't pull the trigger immediately. I am glad I didn't buy one. The Facebook Algorithm showed me a Hank's ad that proclaimed lifetime warranty against sagging. I posted and they responded to reach out to customer service and they will take care of me.
I got 2 new belts in the mail yesterday. Free of charge. I do have to send back the old belts, but they also sent me a shipping label to cover that.
If you want a long lasting belt and a company that stands behind their products get a Hank's belt.
