coach belt quality is decent. cheaper than most brands here but it will still do the job.

what other brands are within it price range? AX, CK? hugo?

my LV lasted me almost 10 years, hermes 4- 5 years (before i decided to swop a new hermes belt..)

LV depending on the models but most of them can last you quite a long time. BV belt less than 1 year the buckle starts peeling already. Then they insist that my perfume or some chemical touches it so refused to replace it for me. Hermes the leather is ok but the buckle after 1 year will start to corrode. I think for belt, other than the quality of it, it also depend on our usage and body acidity.

I prefer a good quality leather belt compared to a branded one. As such, I ordered one bridle leather belt from Equus leather and I was not disappointed. Solid piece of full grain bridle leather from one of the best tannery in England. Beautifully hand stitched. Cost me less than $200sgd. This belt will last me a lifetime.

Just measure the length of the edge of the leather at the buckle end to the hole u normally use in your existing belt. That should be your belt size. If in doubt, you can email Charlie with your findings and he can advise you on the right size to order. Charlie is a friendly chap. I m sure he will be glad to advise.
