I hope you’re holding up well at this difficult time. Because your trousers certainly aren’t
I have a Rifle belt I bought when I was about 15. It’s still going strong 30 years or so later.
11 years for a top man belt is an achievement for sure.
I still have my wallet I bought from Next at least 20+ years ago.
Ok, so it’s not a belt. Nor from Topman. Nor associated with uni. But it’s a cool story, man. I think I shall be cremated with it. Nice bit of jerky for the attendees.
That belt isn’t broken
Do you still have your receipt?
I bet that belt has seen a lot of disappointment.
Rihanna tee still going? Chinos?
Pathetic! I threw out my Topman belt, bought in 2003 in my last month’s as a student, only last year. The leather had dried and cracked to a rather extreme level.
Top fashion tip: use elastic bands tightly wound around the belt to replace the broken loop.
as long as the pants have belt loops this still works
Hope you’ve got your receipt!
Condolences.
Tis but a scratch

If anything topman belts were built to last
Damn I’ve got a belt that’s seen at least 15 years of near daily use and it’s still going strong
I had a Next one for at least 20 years. I wore it at least four times a week, The buckle part failed eventually. I fear my expanding waistline was the major factor in this and my unwillingness to move up a notch.
Pretty sure I have this exact belt, still using it.
I’m wearing a belt right now that is just over 20 years old. The leather has started to crack a bit superficially but it’s still good! It came from next as well so not some high end thing. I don’t think I’ll ever have a belt at that price point of better quality.
Still have the reciept?
I’m still wearing a Topman leather belt I bought in 1991. I don’t think vegan leather would last anywhere near as long.
Topman and River Island must have been rubbing their hands the day the student loan payments landed

In 2005
That belt has seen some shit.

I mean that’s very easily fixable.
