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've looked many places for a belt like this...it is incredibly sturdy...thick and perfectly designed for purpose. The craftsmanship is very well done. If you want a sturdy belt this is the one you need.

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.

I love the belt. Belt is nice and thick made out of a solid chunk of leather. There's only one downside. It says to order two sizes larger. Well I only ordered one size larger. If you plan on using this as a gun belt you're going to probably want to do three or four sizes larger..

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.
