Help me replace my favourite belt please :(
UK based
I've had this Uniqlo belt for years and it's definitely looking a bit ratty now. They don't carry this model any more so I want to find a similar, perhaps better quality replacement.
Things I like about the belt:
- the woven construction gives it a much higher "resolution" than my other belts
- It has some elastic hidden in the weave such gives it a comfortable stretch, you can see this poking out where the leather is snapped
Things that could be improved:
- Leather quality so it doesn't break like this
- hardware could be nicer, the silver coating is coming off the buckle
Things I'm open to:
- Gold coloured hardware is fine
- Non elasticated options could be fine, if they're comfortable
Budget:
Up to about £100
Let me know if you need more pics but I think this one gets the point across

You can easily get a woven belt on Vinted, Depop or Ebay for very little money!
Andersons do good woven belts
Allen Edmonds has a woven belt that's just barely over £100. I have one of their belts and imo they're worth the investment for something I basically wear every day.
If you want to save money, I agree that pre-owned will get you better results than buying cheap new leather
Yeah, got my vintage RL woven belt for 12€ on Vinted.
