Default Choosing the right belt

My vintage Kenmore cleaned up nicely. Photo below is before the clean up, and I just love this machine but with the first crank of the wheel the belt broke, very brittle with all of the wrap? coming off.

It measures 14" and is wider on the bottom than at top. Is this a V belt? Should I try another V belt, a lug belt or a stretch belt? I have been researching and am finding lots of differing opinions. Do they stretch much? If it now measures 14" was it 14" to start with?

Thanks for any help
