Two Fools Leather Goods- they make Fat Boy belts. Don't be put off by the name, it's a reference to the belts thickness. And they do make normal guy sizes too!
They should have presence on the FB now if you use it.

Beltman and Thirty Dollar brands work well.
I have a few Galco belts, but these days I mostly use belts from Bullhide Belts

American Made Gun Belts for $30! – Thirty Dollar Gun Belt
I have several of these, including one steel lined one. Very satisfied for the price. They are a bit more than $30 now however.

Bullhide CCW Gun Belts for Concealed and Open Carry by Beltman
Solved some back problems (but not permanently), and my (now deceased) wife approved of the appearance (the belt, not my back).
On the negative side, it did nothing at all for my psoriasis.

There are a fair number of good belts out there, but cheaping out on a belt is a big mistake.
I’ve used Milt Sparks and DelFatti belts exclusively for 40 years: all perfectly fit the Sparks or DelFatti holsters I use exclusively.
At the low end of acceptable belts, price wise, Galco makes serviceable but not great belts. There are a number of other comparable, mid priced manufacturers.

Another Beltman fan here. I've got three that work great. I've had their 1.5" and 1.25" bullhide belts for several years and they're still going strong. I've been using a 1.25" horsehide belt everyday for almost a year. I wear them with or without a gun.
His custom belts can take a few weeks, but he usually has some 1.5" bullhide belts that are ready-to-ship and you could get it within a week.
His belts are a little bit thinner than other makers, but it's still made from two layers of leather and does a great job of supporting guns or whatever other gear you may carry on your belt.
Make sure to read the sizing guidelines on their page before ordering. Same goes for just about all the gun belt makers.

There is a small private leather shop in Ohio Amish country - Coblentz Collar in Millersburg - that makes belts from thick bridle leather.
These are single thickness belts, not multiple layers stitched together, and will last a lifetime. I have one each in brown and black and use these exclusively for my IWB CC. The last price I paid was less than $40 apiece.
If you call them, they can make these to your specs if so desired; smooth, embossed, etc.
I’ve bought other leather pieces from them, including a custom-made bison leather wallet. Everything is top-notch quality.
Family owned and operated and great to do business with.

A Better Belt USA!!!! I am a drinker of their koolaid.
First belt was OWB (outside the waistband) with horsehide liner.
2nd Belt was The Perfect Fit Belt with OWB.
3rd Belt was The Perfect Fit Belt with 3 Gun inner liner.
My favorite for everyday....and especially for an OWB High Rise holster with fairly heavy gun is the 3 Gun Perfect fit. I even wear it with summer shorts when I have no holster on. It really is my favorite as I can wear it sorta loose and it works.
