What the hell are you doing to these belts? I wear them all the time and never had a buckle (break?) on me....

I have no idea. Maybe I'm pulling them or something, but I don't even like to wear my belts tight. It isnt like theres extra strain there. the damn buckles just have a tendency to snap off
I wear handmade belts from domestic leather makers. Not the dressiest of belts, but it has lasted for almost 5 years. http://www.solesurvivorleather.com/leather-belts/
I've typically only visited my aunts in Hempstead or Queens; but do you possibly have more options than Marshall's up there? Pretty much every movie in the '80s mentioned Bloomingdales.
It's the same stuff whether it's marshalls or Bloomingdale's. All the belts I've purchased frpm marshalls were brand name stuff like Calvin Klein, Nike, etc.
