From my own experience, seatbelt material is crap. But that's just a personal opinion. I tried it. Didn't like it. Stuck with what I've been using for years, and that is the rough and smooth sides of my homemade strop. Does it work?! Yes it does, and quite nicely too. I've found other materials, in my time of searching, but never anything wider than a smidgeon over two inches that would have been worthwhile had it have been at least 2.5 inches. Your luck might be better, and You might try a Haberdashery for some linen webbing or some such, places that deal in foam rubber and such things carry seatbelt materials I've found, but I didn't like that stuff myself. You know your local area better than me. Those are my suggestions for you. I came up against brick walls everywhere I turned in my search for a second material for strops. I wish you luck in your search.
