belts

I wear a Wilderness Tactical (polymer lined) Instructor's Belt. Keeps my drawers up and doesn't twist and roll with holsters or sheaths etc. hanging off of it.
 
that is a nice belt. i want one.

i have an awesome kennith cole dress belt that's brown on one side, black on the other, and the buckle rotates. then there's the cheap belt i regularly wear and the ancient one i strop my knives on.
 
Solid leather strip!

It's the only way to go. Got mine at a local leather store years ago, and it will probably outlive me.
 
For $55 and change i think there are better belts out there, WT, blackhawk,etc. I wear a paracord belt made from 50ft of line when out. Sure, it does'nt carry any weight but my pants; but I clip my knife to the waistband and I'm good to go. I wear a pack 99% of the time I'm out in the woods, so i don't like a bunch of gear hanging off me except maybe a dozen knives! joking!
 
I wear a TacTailor rigger belt every day. There's no way a department store belt would survive my belt kit.. LOL. LM Surge, bit kit, cellphone, Fenix P1D-CE, and a pair of first-aid gloves.
 
Wilderness Tactical Instructors belt. It's too rugged and practical not to have out there. (Also worn almost daily when in town.) These belts are excellent for supporting a holstered pistol, as well.
 
I'm a leather guy with a steel buckle. Every once in a while I rub Neatsfoot oil on it, and it seems to hold up....If it lasts 5 years, I am happy. Gene
 
I have a double thickness leather gun belt....nice and stiff, and you can't beat leather in my book.
 
Galco leather gun belt or a galco instructer belt. sometimes a filson ranger belt

I wear a leather belt that Dwayne at Armoralleather made for me a couple years ago. I would challenge most anyone to put their belt through the wear and tear I do mine, and have it last as well. Yes, I have gone through 3 different brands of riggers belts and multiples of many leather belt makes out there. Mine is approx. 3/16" thick with a brass buckle on it. It might as well be the Batman belt with all the tools and gear I hang from it.
 
mymindisamob,

I think my belt is quite similar to yours.

I wear a leather horse saddle girdle strap that I modified into a belt with my solid brass rodeo belt buckle. It's about 3/16th inch thick and nearly 2inches wide.
Very strong and it will probably last longer than I do.

:thumbup: Yep, I think this belt may end up as a sadly misshapened heirloom.:D
