Have used different ones at every belt. I think my original Koral white belt or Shoyoroll purple were my favorite… not too thick or stiff. The blue belt was a Gameness and very stiff making it come untied all the time!

My white belt was a tatami. Not really my brand. So when I got my blue belt, I got a Ground Force belt (blue label). I like it very much, good quality

I loved my purple tatami deluxe belt, but my new Brown belt is embroided with school name and logo, so it’s hard to motivate a new premium belt right now

My Moya white belt somehow walked away from the looker room, replaced it with a Ronin brand and was very happy with it. When promoted to Blue, professor gave me another Moya belt, it was OK, I did buy another Moya when the 1st one started to fall apart but it was not good quality and odd color too. When promoted to Purple I was given an Obikano belt, I like it very much and fully recommend it if you are not looking for a premium belt brand. If I would have money to spare, I'll like to try one of those nice Half Sumo Black Mamba belts

I wear gi material belts, I like how soft they are and so far I haven’t met to many who wears them around my area…. When I eventually get to black belt I might look at getting a plain kataaro belt, they seem to be top notch (bought my brother a brown kataaro five years back and it looks stunning )
Big fan of kataaro Belt. So we'll made.

My blue was from Eosin Panther, it was nice and soft. My purple is a Killer Bee, my instructor has a history with them and I absolutely love it.
Honestly though, I was so happy to receive it that it could've been made of just about anything. The killer bee is made from a really heavy weave gi material and seems to be super durable.

My white, blue, and now brown belt have been Vulkans. I can't complain and they've done well holding up and not falling apart.

I am also a fan of Isami. I always buy an extra belt to go alongside my promoted belt. I compete a lot so I have one that normally passes the belt checker (at competitions) and the other belt gets all beat up from many training sessions. :)

I got a bit silly when I got promoted to Black. Thought I'd wait until I got my 2nd or 3rd stripe before spending money on an expensive belt. I now have 11 gis and 9 belts. Almost a belt from every brand. Far more expensive than that one special one lol.
That being said, I dig the Sanabul Vintage Series. Great look and quality for the price.

They truly are the best made belts! Customized exactly the way you want it.

Kataaro for me as well.
Haven't worn any other brand except for Kanji since 2009.
The Kanji was a custom belt given to me as a gift.
It's nice but nowhere near my Kataaro's.

I used
: No Brand White Belt
: No Brand Blue Belt
: Tatami Purple Belt - Great belt but a little thicker when brand new. It became softer as time went by.
: Vandal Brown Belt - Awesome belt but super fast to age. After a year and few washing... it became vintage looking already.
: Fuji Black Belt - Not so thick and not so thin. I think it is a great belt. I see breakage in the knot area. My belt is less than a year old.
: Mizuno Gold Judo Black Belt - The best hand crafted belt but a little thicker than any BJJ Belt.

Still The Green Gi for me. Since I last posted on this thread three years ago, I've been promoted. I therefore again dyed both the ones I have, black this time, and stitched a red rank bar on them both.
One normal solid red bar, one Thundercats. Because Thundercats.

The Inverted Gear bamboo weave "fancy" belts are nice. I have worn one for a year (for reference I train about 7 hours per week in the Gi) and it doesn't appear to be losing its color or stitching

For comparison, my The Green Gi belts are both over a decade old. Although I don't train hard, so they have an easy life. ;)

When I was promoted to Black Belt my Coach gave me a Black Armor belt and it appears to be near indestructible but definitely a bit stiff and heavy at first. I love it.

I really like the Swedish brand called "Rebelz", their premium belts have a great overall feeling and have a more deeper contrast in their colours.

Last month my professor told me he planned to promote me to black this month so I ordered myself a kataaro thinking I'd wear it and put the cheaper brand one I expected to receive on my display at home. He surprised me with a custom embroidered kataaro yesterday! Now I have two excellent belts I guess 😅

Ugh I would kill for one of those belts.

Ha, not these specific belts, as they're both A1. If you're normally A3, that's going to involve a pretty extreme diet plan. Or I guess somehow stitching two A1 belts together? :P

Shamless plug.... Warrior Athletics is one of my favorites.
My outer fabric is 100% Cotton, the base is of Bardana/Jute. The belt is about 268 Grams with a thickness of about 4mm.
