Unfortunately, almost all of the webbing material comes out of China, which is why some of the long-time racing safety equipment makers like Simpson no longer re-certify their belts and offer discounts on new replacements. I do some custom stuff for a few customers on OE type belt replacements through DJ Safety/Deist Safety, where they still have a large stock of webbing that was made in the US for some of these period-correct restoration orders.
This is one I did for a 69 Pontiac Firebird.
50-year old originals left; new webbing right:
