What belt do you wear everyday Login/Join

I've had a Milt Sparks belt for probably 13 years now. I wear it everyday. It's getting worn from a finish stand point, but the belt has held up.

Sooner or later, I'm probably going to have to add another belt, retire this to entirely casual use and get something that looks better.

What sort of belt do you wear? Do you have carry belts that are narrower to wear with more "dressy" pants? This one is 1.5", great with jeans, but sometimes doesn't fit smaller loops.

So, looking for another 1.5" and a narrower one both able to support carry both IWB and OWB.

Garand thumb’s belt from lonzo defense


For ME:

Striker fired= Glock 9mm
If it's a .45= 1911
Suppressed= HK in .45
I like anything in 10mm

75% Wilderness
25% Beltman

My wife uses an Armour and it's nice as well. I highly recommend the Wildnerness, I have several in various colors and buckles. The Titanium instructor belt is Gucci for sure.

This Beltman, 1½", in black. The buckle is actually nickel but this doesn't show in the lighting.


(Just taken for a holster review.)

I have had it since 2006 or 2007. It is still going strong, and I am even using the same hole. Smile I have a Wilderness "Instructor" as well and it has a slight advantage in infinite adjustability, but holster clips are more difficult to hook under it for some reason.

No, but I don't do "dressy" either. Big Grin I wear a uniform for work and casual but neat (except for the untucked shirt tail to hide my gun) on my own time. A 1¼" belt of sufficient stiffness will support all but very heavy guns, however.

I wear a 2" leather belt from a place nearby called Law Enforcement Supply.

For work, I need a solid belt, and so really I just wear it all the time. Tools of all kinds hang from the belt.

I bought a 1.75" BIANCHI B9 "fancy stitch" belt 25 years ago before they became part of GALCO. It was thick leather, stitched around the perimeter and a fancy stitching down the middle. It came in brown but I dyed it black. I've had to repair the solid brass buckle a few times but it's still better than most out there now.

Years have softened the leather but it's still my daily wear belt.


Beware of a man whose only pistol is a 1911, he's probably very good with it.

Same belt as Egregore from Beltman. As far as belt loops go, I simply wear pants with loops that fit the belt. I'm a part timer in a gun store, so tactical pants or shorts work everyday for me.

Beltman. My 1.5" belt gets worn nearly all of the time, while my 1.25" belt gets worn with suits. Both are double-layer bullhide belts. I wouldn't hesitate to get another one. In fact, I'm thinking about ordering a horsehide belt from him.

For more than a decade I've used a 1.25" wide Kramer double thick horsehide belt. Pricey, but worth every penny.

I wear either a brown or black Bigfoot double thickness steel-lined 1 1/2" belt, both at work (not carrying) and when off (carrying).

Theses belts are super supportive of my M11-A1 and 2 spare mags. Just a tad too thick for a couple of my holsters and mag carriers, but I also have a couple Wilderness belts for those times.

I bought a crossbreed Brown 1.5” about 12 years ago. I still wear it when carrying. It’s starting to get a bit worn out in the stitching.

The Wilderness for me as well. They are the only ones I own (3 of them). 1.5" for everyday when not carrying a gun. 1.75" for carry and matches. All 5 stitch.

I have a 3-stitch Wilderness that I wear at work every day. I found it on clearance somewhere and it was a color I didn't have (green- darker than OD) so I grabbed it. It's a little less stiff and therefore a bit more comfortable than the 5-stitch and I don't need belt-carry stiffness as I pocket carry a micro while there. It has held up well. For all other regular carry off-work situations I have 5-stitches as it's 99% OWB.

I have 1.5" Beltman horsehides in brown and black for better dress occasions, as well as a 1.25" black one for pants with smaller loops.
