I have three good gun belts.
1) Double layer horsehide from
www.thebeltman.net 1.5". This one gets worn the most and is by far the highest quality and most stiff. It's a great carry belt.
2) Instructor's belt from Wilderness Tactical (
www.thewilderness.com). This one I use when I'm camping/fishing/hunting/hiking. Mostly anywhere where I might end up getting head to toe wet and not want to mess up good leather gear. It's a good carry belt, but not a great carry belt.
3) Carry belt from Crossbreed Holsters (
www.crossbreedholsters.com). It's a good carry belt and I bought it on sale and a little bigger than my other belts to allow use of an IWB like the Crossbreed with the velcro clips. It's a good carry belt and useful with the matching holsters (I have 3), but it's not what I would call a great carry belt. The beltman horse is superior (but also more expensive).
