I've been wearing a thirty dollar gunbelt daily for several months now. It's holding up well so far. The leather is very thick. Nice belt for not much more than the price of a Wal Mart belt.

I know D. M. Bullard. Fine leather products.
I have used Dick Murray's gun belts for years and years:

I use his stuff every day, it's great quality, the double layer belt is heavy duty (even though the single layer is sturdy enough for heavy pistol edc) and it's made in the USA!
It's the last belt you'll buy
Hughes Holsters makes a fine double stitched gun belt which is beyond a doubt the best non-LE gun belt I've ever owned.

I like a Galco belt and my son gave me a dress belt for my birthday that I really like. The maker is Karla van Horne, doing business as Purdy Gear. The tight basketweave stamping is superb and the heavy brass buckle is the best I've seen. I think my belt, lined, basket weave stamped, was abt. $115.
But I think she's semi retired since June 1 and no longer takes custom orders. If her std. models suit you, you'll get a superb belt or holster. Search Karla Van Horne or Purdy Gear. I couldn't get the link to appear here. ?? Scroll down on each page of the elegant site to see the photos.
El Paso Saddlery also makes dress belts suitable for carrying a concealed handgun. El Paso Saddlery – Custom Leather Holsters & More Delivery is slow, but quality is high. Prices for their basic pants belt range from $90-224.

The OP received the usual, predictable suggestions. I'll make one that is also my usual, predictable reply: if you need a stout belt, then your holster is inadequate. A well-engineered holster can be worn on a soggy Walmart belt (yes, I have one); a poorly engineered one, typically with the center of gravity too high for the task, needs a stiff belt to keep the pistol from tipping outwards of its own weight. I create all my designs (apologies for getting it wrong on the Askins Avenger, mates; but I do have a an excuse I prepared earlier!) to perform optimally without regard for the rigidity of the belt.
Forum member SnubbyFan makes a right nice leather product at a reasonable price. Give him a shout. . . .
Don Hume makes nice belts at a reasonable price.

All my belts are from A&G Custom leather. Quite happy with them.

I'm another Beltman fan.
I have been wearing my 11/2" Embossed one for several news and it still looks like new. If I ever need another belt I guarantee it will be from Beltman.

Another vote for the Beltman....I have one that I have been wearing for years and I don't doubt it will last years more.
