Go to any local leatherworker. Or buy a belt blank yourself and add the buckle/rivets

Reply to I need Vimes-approved boots by frustrated-rocka
I've had my Thursdays for about a year, and they just keep getting better looking. Their Dainite style sole isn't good on wet tile, but not all of their boots have that. Build quality has been great, and I wear them basically every day including 3 weeks of backpacking around Europe. Aside from periodic resoling, I see no reason these will wear out any time soon, at least with my lifestyle.

Reply to Is there any hard evidence (not anecdotal) that "high quality" clothes actually last longer than their cheap counterparts? by bingworm
This is an argument I've had about all the stuff in r/rawdenim before. My Levi's from Kohl's seem to last just as many years as the $400 Japanese stuff, yet people will swear that the higher end ones are more durable. Funkier fabrics, sure, but I don't think they're any more durable.
I've also got cheap H&M polos that I've worn for years with no changes in them. For most office workers, if you take care of your clothes, they will go out of style or not fit anymore long before they actually fall apart.
