Good Quality Leather Belts

[Hoshneer]

I am honestly sick of cheap belts and even the Dickies belts don't seem to last long on me. I usually wear them pretty tight because I have no back end to hold my pants up. The holes usually rip out over a couple months and the belts are leather but are not the hard leather like you used to be able to get. I would like some suggestions if anyone has experience with good leather belts. I will check them out and probably order one at some point soon. I should also point out that I conceal carry as well. Anyone else have this issue?

Absolutely need an actual gun belt. Don't even consider something else.

Tons of options from inexpensive (Beltman, Comp-tac) to nice rigs from 5 Shot Leather, Del Fatti, Milt Sparks.

I have a sharkskin belt from Wilson Combat. I like it quite a lot.

It just needs to be a work belt, anything tough.

I get the police issue belts from an army surplus store, I've had 2 of them for at least 10 years now. I just rotate the 2 every once in a while so that they last.

Thanks man, I will check into this.

I had never thought about this at all. I will hit up the army surplus over the weekend. Thank you both!

The comp-tac belts are reinforced with a kydex liner, so they're rather hearty. Give them a try. Just read the fitting instructions carefully.

Over at badger and blade it was awarded top belt for 2014. There's a whole article dedicated to the owner and his company and the leather he uses. But my iphone and the badgerandblade mobile are not playing nice. Along with a 2 year old who needs to be watched right now.....

Okay, I will check both out. I was just thinking about how much I miss the days when you could go to a flea market and there would be a leatherman with a booth ready to make any belt you'd like. Those days seem over with, at least here where I live.

Get yourself a good handmade gunbelt, it will last forever. This is where I got mine.

I've got a Theis belt from Tommy Theis at Theis Holsters that is fantastic. Made to carry a gun, but works and looks nice without one.

Hosh, Here is the last belt you'll ever need. they also come in black, solid brass and stainless. Cow collars no joke cut down the llength and drill new holes. Real high quality and super strong.
Plus wait till you see how chaep they are.

Glad I'm not the only one. I didn't realize how affordable some of these belts are.

As Alex said, you HAVE to buy an actual gun belt.
May take a little getting used to, but you'll be so surprised at the night and day difference!
I've got a couple from Crossbreed Holsters for IWB carry and love them so much I bought a couple more to replace my regular belts for when I can't carry as such.
