I've got the perfect choice for you. I've looked at different belts a long time even the gi material belts. I'm picky when it comes to my gear. I love jiu jitsu and all that goes with it. A belt is something you will have for the rest of your life then possibly frame it years later to show your kids so why not splurge on a nice belt. The belt I got is from EOSIN PANTHER. They are USA made custom belts. You can pick the color bar on the belt it's so specific because I'm a Royce Gracie Jiu Jitsu affiliate I had a navy blue bar put on my belt. I also had my name put on my belt. Might be cheesy and but I like it and it means something to me so I spent money on my belt. You can choose different widths and everything ... check them out. I called them and they will even talk you through the process and cut your belt length down to the inch. I hope you enjoy whatever belt you get! The Eosin Panther belt I wear I really love.
