Captains1911:
I am not wedded to 5.11, but their reinforced nylon belts are darned cheap, work, and are long-lasting.
The 5.11 Tactical Trainer (1.5" wide) and Operator (1.75" wide) were $30-$35 when I bought them a few years back.
$45 delivered now on Amazon. Gotta love inflation.

I have three and have used them for years. They show no wear I can see.
If you know where I can do better, don't be shy. I like to have options.
