Default I need a new belt.

It's been a while but I bought a belt from a guy on this forum. It's been a good belt but over time it shrank and I need a new one. I think I paid around $50 for it. I did a search but came up with nothing. Help needed. Don

I wear a Don Hume belt and it has held up well. Is stiff enough that I can wear any holster on it without it twisting. It is tight on some of my holsters but thats ok with me.

Mitch Rosen. Pricey, but an excellent belt. Bought one for an IWB holster oh his that I never got comfortable with, so when my former belt shrank, for the usual reason, it was just the right size....

I order one from Rick Garcia at RG Leather last month, which should be coming in any day now. Rick is a heck of a nice guy, and makes a great product at a reasonable price.

I'm waiting on mine from jbgunbelts by Jerry Bissell. Add the .com and check them out. Mine should be here Saturday. Very fair price and a nice guy to boot.

Default It's the leather

Belts of any kind used to last longer, I could use a good belt for years.

Now, I can't get a good gun belt or any other kind of leather belt to last more than a year. Every single one of them shrinks, even ones that don't hardly get worn. I got more short belts around here that used to fit ...

I prefer smooth belts---18 years old.
I hope nobody gets deep into belts.
Blessings

Google The Beltman.
Great products great service. I have one of his belts in Elephant hide I bought 5 years ago. I carry N-frames on this belt with ease. After 5 years, it still looks like new, and, it looks like a dress belt, not a gun belt.

Best,
Gary
