Quality belts for thin waist?

Hello, I have a very thin waist and wear between 26"-28" waist size in mens (usually trousers made for mens 28" are still large on me). I want to get some quality belts that are good material, made to last (no flaking leather), dressy and casual, as the few belts I have are wearing out. The lowest belt sizes I can usually find are 30", but even those usually accomodate more of a 32" waist. Does anyone know good brands or belts that size that small?

Find a belt you like and poke new holes in it, you can buy a leather hole punch online.

a cobbler can also shorten one for very cheap

Ah ok noted Ive tried this once but the rest of the belt is very long so that I have to wrap it around again halfway Which was very inconvenient I'll try this thanks

depending on the belt, if you can remove the buckle to cut off some length, that's a much cleaner solution than adding new holes and being stuck with that super long piece

Someone here recommended me cellar leather. They’ll make any size down to 25 (so ~23” waist but read the sizing guide)
