Ozbargainers!
Am in dire need of a good quality leather belt, kind of sick of the cheap, bad quality ''leather" ones that fray and split after a few months..
Any suggestions on where to get some cheap good quality leather I would highly appreciate it! Seems to be a whole bunch of online aussie leather shops but just not sure which ones decent enough/trustworthy.
Ta!
Not very long if you ar a size 42
I can't even
These aren't exactly cheap…
You said a good quality leather belt so $60 to $80 is about right.
What you probably meant to say is a cheap bonded leather belt
A few advertised in Aldi this week.
Don't buy junk on the internet or from the shopping center, buy things made properly, buy from an Australian saddlemaker

For shoes http://www.herringshoes.co.uk
Go to a local market often a quality guy there.
buy from an Australian saddlemaker
So why then promote a UK site for shoes?
Because they are quality products, most of the men's shoes or belts you find in shopping centres even the expensive ones are cheaply/poorly made, do you know any companies that make men's shoes in Australia?
Rivers. Or a Levi belt stockist.
Thanks for the cas suggestions so far peeps!! I've been looking at RM Williams, one of their cheaper ones, they're running about $70-80, anyoje recommend/not recommend? Here's the link http://www.rmwilliams.com.au/1-1%2F2--3-piece-solid-hide-bel…
NB cheaper than $100 at other RM stockists
If you're ok spending that kind of money then I recommend a belt from suitsupply. You will not be disappointed, but even if you were, they have free returns
Going to a factory outlet for RMW could save you money. Rossi stuff is almost as good for a lower price and you don't look like a politician.
Also the Indian cattle ban could make leather more expensive in coming years so it might be a good time to stock up.
I bought a genuine leather belt off AliExpress just for kicks one day as I was also looking. Think it cost me around $8. Seriously the best quality belt I have ever owned. Only issue is the 3 week wait.
It needed trimming but here's the tip…Do it from the buckle end. Just about every buckle is removeable (go check out a few belts at your local menswear shop) which means you do a neatish cut & pop the buckle back on.
My local (northern Melb suburbs) "$2" shop has them for $6 and they seem to be good quality, if a little thick (and therefore a bit stiff initially).
You sure it's leather?
Uniqlo has great leather belts for approx $40
I bought one of these for $19 delivered. 2 months ago
it's super long (but leather so you can cut it). and so far so good.
