You guys aren't washing your belts?
Alright.
I’ve never even thought about it. I use leather belts and I throw them out after they wear out.
You can’t exactly toss them in the machine.
Now, the belts I’ve had over the years that were made from cloth went in the laundry with everything else.
I don’t know why I never thought about this.
Leather ones you can wipe down with a rag and water. Canvas ones just go in the wash and you can air dry.
You wear out leather belts? I swear I still have the same 3 leather belts I had 15-20 years ago
There's a lot of shitty "leather" belts that look great but fall apart rather quickly. I also tend to go through belts on my work pants, but I work construction and that is hard on the leather
Exactly. I have one really expensive belt my uncle gave me that I’ve been wearing since about 2012 and it’s just fine.
I have trashed several Walmart belts in that time.
I have a Dickies belt that has held up pretty well too.
And there's always that torn up section on the right hip where the tape measure goes
Get some dubbin and treat your leather products with it. They will last longer if they are treated right.
