    I got a crossbreed executive off their blemishes site a month ago. No blemishes I could find and way better than std leather belt. For $40 delivered was a bargain..

    Been using El Paso Saddlery holsters for decades, ordered a new holster & matching belt a couple of years ago and have been very impressed. Hand tooling almost too pretty to hide under a shirt or jacket. For a few dollars more than mass-produced leather you can step up to custom craftsmanship that will last quite a few years.

    Possibly true.

    I tottaly Agree with you. El Paso Saddlery are best belts. I got Glock 43 Holsters that fit almost (99%) to all belts but the El Paso Saddlery are Top Top!

    On the strength of recommendations in this thread I ordered a $30 gunbelt....it is everything you guys said it was...well made, stiff and 1/4" thick. I am impressed.

    For the past 8 years I have used a "Real Man's Gun Belt" from Simply Rugged.

    Galco makes a great belt, lots of choices. They are also build on a curve that is made specifically for carry.

    I bought a Glaco reinforced instructors belt a few years ago and have really abused it. It's as firm and upright as the day I bought it.
    I had one of these and really liked it; very sturdy belts. Mine disappeared somewhere along the line and I need to replace it.

    I have very good results with Aker leather belts. They make a belt that has a plastic liner between two pcs. of leather and is very firm for ccw. 1 1/2 in black or brown. It does NOT scream Gun.
    They also have a dress belt that I have not tried yet. Suppose to be firm. I wear blue jeans mostly but these belts are fine with khakis too.
    I look for them on sale and never pay over $45. Sounds like a lot to some but I wear this every day at work,8-10 hrs.a day and then at home everyday,all day, all year. Hot, cold, sweating outside yard work. The belt has NOT rolled over on the rear belt loop like most do. 10 yrs old +. Yes it has wear,looks perfect with old jeans now. If I had taken care of it I'm sure it would look better but that why I have a new one for going out, not work. B21- (your size) is the number.
    You can get them cheaper depending on your belt size, 30-32" ($24) I've seen them. Galls police supply, Optics planet are just two places I've found them on sale.

    Good luck and enjoy your belt.

    I have several of their belts and I will confirm that there are no finer belts out there for any amount of money.
    I have used the super bio belt for 4 years now.........I can't see how a belt can be tougher. It looks great and has carried many guns. I can't recommend it enough.
