Need a belt - not a dress belt

Seems like there are a lot of dress belts out there, but is there something available that is in the middle ground between a dress belt and one that is......umm.....something a swat officer would wear? I want a good CASUAL belt.

My favorite is Rafters. They are very well made belts, good looking, and suitable for either dress, casual or wearing a holster.

If your looking for a good leather belt I like the dillon precision leather belts. Yep, the same guys that make reloading presses.
I have been using a brown 1 1/4" for dress and a black 1 1/2" for jeans about 3 years now. They cost about $45. They hold up well and don't look like your going to a swat class reunion.
I wear the wilderness belt for work and it's a great belt. Personally I think it's better suited to work than a social environment.



edited: Those rafter belts above look real nice too and the price is right.

If you go out to the woods at all check out Liger. They are new to the Maxpedition line. It is weird polyurethane-polyester blend that is impervious to water/mildew/rot!! Worth checking out. Good luck.

I just got a new belt from http://store.yahoo.com/rlcompanyusa/tugu.html
ie, Tucker Gun Leather, and I'm impressed with the quality. I got the 1.5
inch Bullhide and it seems to be more than up to the task of handling my
cc holster and mag pouch.

Rafter-S Black Elephant is exactly what you need. Buckle is changeable. Non-inflated price like most the other makers.
