I've got several belts that I'm very happy with. Two of them are from Bullhide Belts. Very nice, really good quality leather. They run anywhere from $62 up depending on the options you go with. I wear their Distressed Leather Bullhide belt everyday.
I also bought one from Jack Russell Leather. Price on it was $45 shipped. It's very nice for the price and works perfect for carrying a firearm but the leather quality isn't as nice as the Bullhide belts.
A quality thick leather belt absolutely makes carrying much more enjoyable.
I had two custom leather belts made by "Black Dog" a one person leather crafter in Martinsburg, PA. Excellent work and reasonable price. Hard to find heavy leather belts that will support firearm, reloads, and light unless going custom these days. These belts have held up for several years now. Also had a few J-frame IWB holsters custom made. Took awhile but I am very pleased.
Crossbreed makes belts also. If you are worried about cost, check out crossbreedseconds.com.

I've bought more than a few gun belts over the years……the best, in my opinion, by a long shot……Beltman, get the "plastic"…..or what ever it is…..insert, you will not be disappointed, and I carry a 5" 1911….very nice belts.
Wild Bill's Concealment Leather double thickness bullhide belts are the bee's knees, in my opinion. I have two that I have worn daily for a few years now and they still are doing a great job of supporting my off duty Glock 22. I just finished a two year assignment in Internal Affairs and wore these belts twelve to sixteen hours a day with all my plainclothes gear.
They sell online or are usually at gunshows in the Mid-Atlantic region. Belts run around $75, if I recall correctly...
