Questions about belt

I wear one of these every day, the 1.5" double layer belt is comforting and comfortable to me with or with a belt. Personally like the way they look and they hold up a ton better that anything store bought.

Would I be out of place to ask who makes it?

One thing to note is that I've had a lot of non gun folks buy belts, almost a surprising amount. The one comment I get more than any other is "I thought it would be too much, but I love it." Get yourself a nice one and it'll last a really long time!

Without the hatchet of course :)

Beautiful work as usual.
I've been selling a fair amount of belts out here too. Mostly 9 ounce single layer strap leather.
My double layer belts are hand stitched so I charge a bit for my time.
 
I have been using the Carhartt line of work belts....great value for the money!!! Might work welll for you as well.........

Those are of my own hands, certainly not out of place :)

I wouldn't even double stitch a belt with my Boss. Don't think I have the patience to hand stitch a belt!
 
I'll second Bullhide Belts Distressed Leather. I posted a pic in a current thread on the ElPaso Leather "tanker holster". 1.5" wide and 1/4" thick. Works for me.
 
a lot depends on how tight you are comfortable wearing..Some very good pistol belts are so stout it is hard to get them tight and comfortable at the same time...especial true with some very well made belts, made basically for carrying......I am pretty slim so a very tight belt sometimes is uncomfortable pulling even a commander size holster and pistol into my ribs....Sometimes a thick but some what flexible belt will work fine if you can tighten it snug, some can do that with a certain amount of comfort and some can't..I think long waisted men can wear some pistol and tight holsters more easily than short waist guys..(ribs and pistol grip get uncomfortable) I have a few very well made belts with lining and 1 inch belt buckle keeper holes that I can't get tight and comfortable...when I order I get keeper holes 3/4 apart, that give ma little more latitude in comfort...I have been trying for over 50 plus years and I have never found the perfect fit, especially when wearing under a suit coat..Now retired for years I carry a small pistol or revolver and some time I now carry the pocket carry..Admittedly not the best idea. I have been carrying the new Ruger LC9s 9mm striker, small pistol and find it pretty easy to carry in a pocket, not much to hang up in a pocket...Just my opinions of a ongoing problem I'm sure we have all had at one time or another......Good Luck !!!!

I recently purchased from Bullhide Belts. Strong, heavy belt. I work in education, so I don't carry at work, but I've been wearing the belt, everywhere, for about a month. No issues.
 
Another recommendation for the Beltman. I've been wearing my horsehide belt everyday for a couple of years now with & without a firearm. It carries everything from a S&W 686 down to a 642 Airweight comfortably and with style.
 
Belts need to be sturdy but also flexible enough to be tightened to hold holster and pistol, revolver etc. So that you don't get the tall .grip bulge....Snubbfan has said it just about as good as can be said....
 
contender, I urge you to take a look at what some of our forum members offer.
We have some solid craftsmen here on-board, and the money would stay local, as in, U S A.

Oh, I am not one of the guys I speak of ! My craftsmanship is pretty well taxed out pulling on my cowboy boots of a morn, and fixing a decent cuppa joe ,down at the local sheetz.

I've used a 1" double stitched Rafter S Gunleather belt everyday for years - at the office and in the field, for dress and for carrying a heavy CZ 75B. It's comfortable and indestructible, and I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.

I got a belt from www.thebeltman.net , and I got several surprises. Not only did it support my holster properly, but it made a minor back problem go away. Also, my wife liked it, and it doesn't look like a gunbelt. However, as stated before, it did not clear up my psoriasis.

....

I guess this is a recommendation of thebeltman.

Another vote for The Beltman. I just got my second one after loosing some weight. As mentioned, doesn't cure psoriasis though.
 
I use Jason Winnie, DeSantis and the lesser expensive NRA belts. I like 'em all but prefer JW.
