Go to your local Amish tack shop. You can usually get a real leather belt for 12 bucks or so.

The 5.11 Double Duty TDU belts in 1½ and 1¾ inch widths are sturdy enough to carry my S&W 686-6 in a pancake holster without letting it pull away from my body. They are black on one side and either green or coyote on the other. Neither of mine exceeded $20.00 before sales tax. Another good thing about them is that they don't stretch when they get wet.

Here are a few samples of what a REAL belt should look like.Cut from the back of the cattle,and a full 1/4 thick-no filler needed.
These was made by me a few years back.
Thank you,
Henry

I came across D. M. Bullard a while back. He appears to have some nice belts, etc. Flapjack.

When my daughter Liz was on a fourth-grade field trip, some self-important guy was explaining brain tanning and stated that every animal had enough brains to tan its own hide. Liz immediately said, "What about dinosaurs?" Her teacher laughed. The explainer guy was not amused. Her dad sure was--make your Daddy proud, girl.

Uh, not too many in So Cal that I know of.
My GF grabbed one. She said it feels stiffer these days too.

I bought a Carhartt belt thinking it would be tough like their pants and jackets. Nope...came unstitched at the lead end. Worse belt I ever bought.

It wouldn't suprise me if Walmart has items made to thier specs to save money, thus offering a great price reduction to the consumer.

I got an El Paso Saddlery belt about 10 years ago. Wear it on my work pants; several times a week. I'm nowhere near wearing it out; maybe in another 10-15 years or so. Very comfortable with a holster carrying a K or N frame, particularly in the cross-draw, which I like because of my long arms.
Most of the custom holster folks I've dealt with make belts as well. You might pay a bit, but they will last a lifetime (or at least until you add a few inches to the waistline!). Simply Rugged makes some good leather and you can even get a buckle that will hold extra ammo!
I ordered a couple of belts from "The Beltman" a few years ago. I thought they were the best belts ever made, but lately I've come to the conclusion they use an inferior grade of leather, as it seems they have shrunk after all these years. I don't know how it could have happened, unless it's just a plot to get me to buy more belts.
I just ordered a couple more from a local company that describes them as "Amish Made." I thought I'd give them a try. Haven't gotten them yet, but I was smart and ordered them longer to allow for shrinkage. Think they'll fool me do they. I'm wise to that game.

That is the case. Walmart contracts with most major manufacturers to build to their specifics. . I know in the case of small appliances and power tools and mowers and stuff they are Walmart specific model #'s. You won't ever be able to find a lower price on a Walmart item somewhere else (even though they look the same) because model #'s won't match.
