Bullhide Belts Mens Leather Steel Core Belt, Heavy-Duty, Genuine Full Grain Stitched Leather Belts 1.50" Wide Made in the USA

Tow Truck Operator by trade. Got this belt looking for durability and longevity. This belt is phenomenal. The steel core make it hold up to and abuse your tools can dish. Daily Carry tool and equipment. Not cumbersome. Very comfortable, and very rigid..

It exceeded my expectations. The construction is flawless and I expect with use it will get better. It’s solid and gives me extra support while holding up my pants. I got the steel core which may be part of the reason it feels so good.It does have some weight to it in case that is important to some users but I am very happy with the overall package

This belt is PERFECT! I'm not really one to write reviews but I think this belt warrants one.First things first. The belt looks great! The stitching is phenomenal and it feels incredibly sturdy. The buckle is simple and the wethered brass look sets off the rustic brown leather. The keeper loop is only about an inch and a half away from the buckle so bending a 1/4" thick, steel cored strip of leather through it was just a tad cumbersome the first few times but that's not really a complaint as I didn't expect the belt to be super pliable anyway. It fit exactly as expected which is nice, plenty of holes for growing or preferably shrinking waists. I bought this belt to replace a worn out "tactical" belt that was only 2 years old and right off the get I could tell I should have purchased this belt back then. I'm also pleasantly unprinted that, for its thickness and rigidity the belt is extremely comfortable. I am an electrician by trade and I worried it was going to dig into my gut or rub my little muffin top raw but I honestly forget it's even on. It's really that comfy. I walked around with glock 26 with a kydex iwb holster for a few hours and there is absolutely zero sag. Even at work (no firearm) with my small tool catch, my leatherman surge and a Milwaukee 18v impact dangling from it there was no sag so I give this bad boy 5 stars and I don't foresee me changing the rating.

I purchased this belt in 2020 and am writing this review in 2023. This belt is my work/outdoors/cc belt. I absolutely love this belt and if I am wearing anything but shorts is my first go to.So far it has survived multiple trips in the backwoods of CO, getting on and off horses, getting tossed of said horses, and is still nice enough to match my brown dress shoes. The steel core and the leather hold my cc in place while out and about and also hold my very heavy backwoods OWB rig and pistol just fine.I would recommend this belt to anyone looking for a good sturdy tank like belt.

Make no mistake, this isn't your run of the mill belt. I work industrial maintenance and have an 8 lb pouch I carry on my belt. Usually I use a leather Walmart belt, but I was getting tired of belt sag and blown out buckle holes.And so the search began! I read a review on this belt from an electrician who said he couldn't even tell his drill was hanging on this belt, so I had to give it to a try.When this thing showed up, I instantly knew from it's thickness this was the right belt for me! It's thick and stiff as heck.Got to work this morning, strapped on my holster, and sure enough I couldn't tell it was there. No belt sag at all. My mind was blown!!Ignore the price, buy this belt if you have ANYTHING you holster.

When measuring. measure from fold in belt (where buckle attaches permanently to the belt) to the preferred hole used ( minus 1"), NOT from buckle clasp to hole used, I use an offset buckle, and the belt was almost to small for me to use with the provided buckle. Other than that the belt is exactly if not better than described. Rigid enough to support any of my pistols along with 2 spare mag pouches, flashlight, and utility tool. I am very pleased with this purchase.

The belt looks great, I like the color and construction feels like it will last. I used a belt I had and it measured out to 38in rounded up. When I have an IWB holster I have only 1 hole left for the buckle, so i wont be able to carry an extra IWB mag holder. This is not a deal breaker as if I'm not carrying the belt will fit perfect. It looks like if i went to a 40" belt and i didn't carry IWB I would be near the last holes on the belt, near the middle holes carrying IWB, and near the end holes adding a mag carrier IWB. So next time i may shoot for a 40" belt just to try it out.

Good belt but after just a few weeks the stitching on the keeper broke. Was poorly done with the stitch so close to the edge of the leather that the leather tore. Had to re-stitch myself . No big deal but for an expensive American made $80 belt i expected better.
