Thread: Belts

Finally got myself a good belt; better late than never. Anyone who carries tools or weapons knows the need for a good belt. This one should last me for a while. I wore it tonight with a G-19 in the waistband. There was a big difference in the support. I searched South Florida last month for a good belt & did not find one. Yes, there were lots of fancy /dress belts, but no good daily wear belts.

I decided on having one made by "The Beltman" or "A&G Custom Gun Leather". I choose A&G in Gainesville, Georgia. I liked the fact that A&G used PayPal as a payment method. Both companies are family run & well mentioned.

If you have experiences with belts, in all aspects of daily life, then feel free to mention them here.
Thanks for looking,

My favorite was a bridle leather belt made by Duluth Pack. Sadly, that belt was chewed on by my dog, so it is only worn when camping and hunting.

Gonna have to check Duluth Pack out,,,,,,




,,,,,,,,just did, what an interesting site/company,,I will spend more time looking at their products tomorrow.

Their specialty is canvas packs for canoeing. They also make other types of bags like messenger bags, totes, and day packs. Duluth Pack bags are made in the USA of canvas and leather. The stuff I own made by them has stood up to hard use.

The one I got in 2010, and still going strong
Amazon.com: Mens Heavy Duty Black Leather Belt 2" Wide (46): Clothing

2" solid piece of leather

If anyone has a belt maker that is equivalent to this gentleman let me know. The one I have after wearing it every day for years is starting to show a little wear and you never know if I might need to dress up for a dinner with the president.

Check out Filson...I've been wearing one of their bridal leather belts for 10 years now, and I think it will outlast me.

I am a wearing a Filson belt right now. I am a big fan of their products but prefer the Duluth Pack belt.

I use Loopers for daily abuse and Beltman for dress. I have had the Loopers in two colors for over seven years you can tell the two positions I cinch the belt to, IWB, OWB other than that like new.
The Beltman's are about five years old, 1 1/4" bull hide I use for dress. They support full size firearms great but are not used as often, they look like new as well and are crafted in the U.S.
Loopers will continue to be my daily beaters, with the dual layer, internal stiffener, and price point they are great belts.
I will replace my Beltman's with Beltman's if they ever wear out....

I have an old Harley Davidson belt, it's really nice leather and well made with quality fittings. I though I'd treat myself to a new one and ordered one from an HD dealer's website.
All I can say is that if the quality of HD motorcycles today matches their dealer accessories, then things are on a downhill slide.
