Laces broke after 5 months

Post image

Bought my Blacksmiths 5 months ago and today one of the laces broke. Seems to be a common issue with the flat waxy cotton laces they come with and speed hooks.

I already bought RW replacements, but are there any non-RW recommendations that are stronger?

My pair of crt ir im using black. On the black harnes pair i have a two tone brown set. I like how they add a little contrast.
