Good gun belt for carry

I have misplaced my regular belt that I use and for the life of me, I can't find it. I bought it a few years it's black leather, 1.75" wide (I believe), nice and solid, and was just fabulous. I'm hoping it turns up. If it doesn't, I gotta get another one. Can somebody recommend a quality belt to order with a 1.75" width? It needs to work with the belt loops in blue jeans. My old one did.
I bought a couple, one from Hank's Belts...they are on eBay, and another from Forest Hill. boyj 1 1/2 in wide, and carry my holstered guns just fine. Very thick leather...much better than my 1 1/4" Tandy special that I made years ago.A bit expen$ive, but hank's belts are said to last 100 years.(?)
 
Today, my go l-to belts are 5.11 or HSG with Cobra buckle. I don't tuck in my shirt so generally nobody sees how tactically I hold up my trousers. I have a leather Milt Sparks belt I bought as part of a Summer Special II carry rig for an M&P 45 from years ago. It is a good belt. On occasions I have to put on a suit, I still have a couple of Galco dress belts.
 
Go to Walmart and check-out their belts, I bet you'll find one for around $15 that will work just fine.
Save your money for ammo instead, why pay $50 or more, just saying...

The buckleless and leather belts, both with a scuba lining are quality and last.

I have been using a Beltman belt for the past 15 years. I stretched it out as I seem to have grown the wrong way since college and need a new one. They are of the highest quality.
I had one I got about 12-15, 18? years ago. It too shrunk on me. It looked like new after a dozen years riding below a police rig. It was way better than the thin black leather pants belt they issued.

The shrunken belt I gave to my nephew when he was crashing at my place for his first state corrections job assignment at nearby Comstock prison.
 
Yep .. especially now that I am a geezer, the ratchet belt is the only way to go for me.
I ordered a Kore off scamazon. Free shipping if you have the stupid Amazon membership anyhow.

That said, they don't make it obvious but iirc they have a 15%/off deal for first responders if you email them and get signed up or a 10% first time customer discount. To me it was a wash with the free shipping I already could get on Amazon. If you bought on the Kore website and spent over a $100 on products you also get free shipping and could take advantage of those other discounts. I wasn't looking to spend that much.
 

Hanks Belts. I bought two gun belts from there around 15 years ago and wear them every single day as they are the only two belts I own. They are still in just as good shape as the day I bought them. I can not praise the quality of their stuff enough. Also have a Hanks wallet that has outlasted every other leather wallet I've ever owned.
 
I've been using a Bigfoot belt for a good number of years now and have been happy with it. Been wanting to try one of the Kore belts but haven't gotten around to it yet.
