Where to Buy a Good High Quality Leather Belt Online in Australia

LOZOnlyDeals on 13/02/2022 - 17:48

I am looking to buy few causal belts for my pants and jeans but I am not sure where to get a good quality leather belt at an affordable price ($25 - $50 price range).

I had a very bad experience with belt from Kmart and Target. They don't last long as they crack.

What kind of leather should I go for and where can I buy? Please recommend and share your experience.

    A few good suggestions here from a forums post a year or two ago.

    You won’t get quality at that price.
    Better off at your local market
    Or RM Williams
    Or an online saddle maker/leather shop
    The belts from the shopping centre are all bonded leather junk

      I am located in Pakenham, Victoria.
      Not many belt shops near me.

      Found only two https://tradingstables.com.au/a/search?q=belt and https://koalawears.com.au that are selling full grain leather belt.

      Not sure if they are any good.

        Market like queen Vic. Dandenong, etc.

        You choose quality of leather and the buckle you like. They make it up.

        I think I paid about $20 or so (after compulsory haggling) for real leather belt I wear most days for last few years. No issues.

        Edit: sorry, missed the online part …

          Likewise - got a good quality leather belt from the EKKA (Brisbane Show) years ago. Still going strong.

        • The Hawk on 14/02/2022 - 10:05

          Definitely Queen Vic Market, that's where I got a couple of mine. Cut to size perfectly, holes where you want them and cheaper than most of the shit in stores that will just break or fall apart.

    • HeWhoKnows on 14/02/2022 - 17:43

      Gotta say that most leather belts these days are total rubbish
      Just as Stewardo above says
      They dont last long at all.

  • Islund on 13/02/2022 - 18:21

    Do R.M. Williams belts ever go on sale?

    • OZOnlyDeals on 13/02/2022 - 18:27

      I have never seen them on sale.

    • Benoffie on 13/02/2022 - 22:37

      $65-75 without being at the annual clearance would be acceptable

    I got my last belt from Hip Pocket Workwear. It's the Hard Yakka Foundation. It's $48 (+ shipping I assume). It is a real leather belt (not that layered PVC/fake leather shit) and in the 4 years I have been wearing it (5 days a week) it still presents as almost new.

    All my work shit gets hung off this belt. Hammers, power tools, rags, keys, multitool pouch, and it just keeps on keeping on.

    Try tactical or workwear places, not Target/Kmart. Use what industry professionals use, not dress belts from fashion outlets.

    • OZOnlyDeals on 13/02/2022 - 19:11

      Their plain belt looks good, but their is very limited.

      I am look for couple of plain (black and brown) belt and stitched causal belt for my jeans.

      Yo I have the same belt and I can strongly recommend too.

    My Timberland belt has been going strong every day for more that 5 years. https://www.amazon.com.au/Timberland-Mens-Classic-black-silv…

    • OZOnlyDeals on 13/02/2022 - 19:05

      Thanx for the suggestion. Unfortunately my size is out of stock. I will save it for later.

      My Timberland belt didn't last very well. 3 months in and it was terrible creased.

      • OZOnlyDeals on 13/02/2022 - 22:35

        Thank you for sharing your experience. I would have bought timberland belt but after hearing your experience with it, I won't buy.

        Which seller would you recommend. I am think to buy few belt from Koala Wears. Their 39mm Plain Leather Belt and 39mm Crocodile Scales Embossed looks good.

        Their description says it is full grain leather. Is that good? Sorry not leather expert.

        In black and brown each

        Have you or anyone else bought from them from their before?

      • Murdrum on 13/02/2022 - 22:37

        What did you find that was better?

        • OZOnlyDeals on 13/02/2022 - 23:03

          There style and price for full grain leather. I just placed my order with them. Paid via PayPal so can easily return it. Got free express shipping too.

          We'll let you once I receive it. They also have some stitched belt which I might purchase later if their quality is good.

  • bohn on 13/02/2022 - 18:53

    I got a belt from here:

    worth a look

      Their website looks terrible.

        Yes. They make good products though. Ordered a few things from there

    Some of the Uniqlo leather belts are great for the money.

      +1, got one of their belts from ebay a few years ago and it is still going strong.

  • currentfad on 14/02/2022 - 00:19

    I got my belt from a shop called Koalawears - they are on ebay too.

    I got 2 full grain belts for around $25 each and they are great quality.

    Customer service was also fantastic - my order was lost in transit by Auspost and they immediately rectified the situation by sending out another 2 belts.

    They even double checked if I ordered the right size as I ordered a belt on the lower end of the size chart, and recommended me size up based on my waist size.

    I'm glad I followed their recommendation as the fit is great. Really recommend them as a local business.

    The leather belts I bought from https://www.closethedeal.com.au/fashion/men-s-accessories/le… have all been great.
    They promote themselves on OZB from time to time https://www.ozbargain.com.au/search/node/closethedeal%20belt…

  • JuliaH on 14/02/2022 - 14:23

    My husband found a couple of great ones - from the charity shop. Beautifully made, easy to clean and proceeds to a good cause:). Worth a try, perhaps.

    I bought two from this guy. Made to measure. Nice and thick and all Aussie. https://www.thebeltman.com.au/

      Their website says " Taking no sales at the moment. Upgrade of products coming soon."

  • Lewd on 14/02/2022 - 22:15

    I have bought 2 belts from here: https://buckle1922.com.au/men/australian-made-belts/?gclid=E…
    Lasted for nearly 15 years so far. Only had to move up a few notches. One worn daily for work, the other for occasions

  • bmxr on 14/02/2022 - 22:31

    High quality and your $25-50 price range are generally incongruous.

    However, in that price range look at Bostanten leather ratchet belts. Someone on OzB recommended them a couple of years ago and having now worn them myself for a while, they are brilliant. No more worrying about wearing out the holes for continually using the same fit, or if you need to be between holes for the day/week/month, you can make micro-adjustments, as they use a ratchet system that can adjust for millimetres and holds the belt at the edges.

    Plenty of colours and styles.

  • Inzo on 15/02/2022 - 01:29

    It's not leather, but I can highly recommend a Grip6 belt I got a few years back for Xmas.

    Holds my fats inside my jeans really well, no sign of wear or tear yet

    • Shroomlet on 16/02/2022 - 14:39

      looks like it's designed for super skinny people :(

      • Inzo on 26/02/2022 - 11:34

        nah, I'm 150kg with a decent gut, and it fit's me ok with about 3 inches spare belt

        • Shroomlet on 26/02/2022 - 20:37

          really? hot damn. I'm 110 with dad gut. I'll get some and post my mileage!

          check back in 4 weeks!

          • Shroomlet on 08/03/2022 - 22:14

            @Shroomlet: I'm back!

            Turns out Inzo is right. Bloody things fit well and are comfy even slouching in chairs all day. I didn't want to like it but I just bought another one.

  • SusanLB on 15/02/2022 - 07:37

    We have bought from this company before, the ratchet system is really good as no wear & tear in the holes in the belt as they dint have any at all

    It's a little bit above your budget but I scored an English Bridle leather belt from a leatherworker here in Darwin on sale for $90 three years ago that is still going incredibly strong. His IG is instagram.com/ninandesigns
