Some of the companies have their own way of doing sizing and some of them run kind of small. If I didn't call Galco before I ordered, I would have gotten the wrong size belt. | Good point. Makers can and do have different methods of measuring. However I've usually found this information on their website.

Galco Contour belt. 1.5", double thickness. Extremely durable, been wearing the same one daily for over 3 years. Pricier than some others but I think it has been worth the extra coin.

I bought a Bianchi online but returned it as it was poorly made and too flexible. I then bought a Filson double-layer ( 1 1/4" Double Belt | Filson and it's perfect. The 1 1/4 width fits even my suits and dress pants, which I wear at work, and looks great. Holds the holster nice and tight, and will last a long time.

I had one custom made in Gatlinburg TN by a local craftsman. You pick the style, color and buckles. Its beautiful and really well made. Took six weeks to get it... he is that busy but worth the wait.

I'm currently using a 5.11 casual belt.
pros:
-its very stiff and gives good support
-It only cost about $30
cons:
The finish gets scratched very easy
The leather around the buckle is pretty worn looking after wearing for about a year.

Most of the time I use a black police inner velcro belt. It works well, stays in place and is easy to adjust. Surplus stores around here carry them for about 15-20 dollars.

The best non-leather carry belt I've seen is this one: Original S.O.E. Gear. I plan to order one at the end of the current diet plan.

I also use the Wilderness Tactical 5-stitch belt and it is great as well.

I wear this every day. It's very comfortable. It also holds up my pants very well. Even with my 10 pounds of gear. I've had it for 5 months now, it still looks brand new. It's durable and STRONG. I recommend this belt very highly. Amazon.com: Uncle Mike's Reinforced Instructor's Belt: Sports & Outdoors | |
