who makes the best "dress" gun belts?

[JoeT]

need new belt, I wear dress pants and shirt 5 days a week, I know it's not ideal size, but I'm looking for the best 1.25"-1.5" gun belt... black now, and if it wears well brown shortly

has to not "look like" a gun belt, I have plenty of those for the 2 days a week I'm in jeans

Wow, those look nice.

I use a 1.5" Mitch Rosen express line ($70). Has anyone gone to 1.25" belts? Wonder if they are supportive enough for a gun on the heavy side (Sig/CZ metal frame etc).

I've got a Hanks. It's just a black leather belt with buckle, nothing to special. I wish it kept its stiffness a bit better, but it does the job.

i don't need one right now, but check Bigfoot Gunbelts. steel core. look good

Bullhide CCW Gun Belts for Concealed and Open Carry by Beltman

I have one of these, I think it's terrific, I bought a spare in case I ever lost it. I don't need to change belts when I go to IDPA practice, and lit looks like a regular belt.

Delta Force steel core Italian dress belt. It's only 1.25" wide, but with the steel core the width is less important.

The Aker dress belt is also 1.25" with a polymer core.
Or, Aker's shark skin belt of you've got a sense of style and money Also with a polymer core

Not really a carry belt but Carhartt makes an inexpensive, reversible dress belt that is sturdy enough for IWB EDC. Carhartt Reversible Belt at Zappos.com

Is the stiffener worth the money?

This I own two belts (one brown and one black) from Beltman, they more recently changed hands and the new owners are just as amazing as the original. They check in on you via email and follow up is amazing. Fantastic product.
I have the stiffener in both belts and they are like brand new still after 1 year and retain perfectly while balancing my holsters.
Edit: pleaded pictures of my black belt I've had over two years (with stiffener) it has some wear from holster barely and has belt up perfect

Is the stiffener worth the money?

I have the horsehide belt with stiffener and I've found it to be worth it. When I first got it, it was so stiff I could barely feed it through my belt loops. That was four or five years ago and it's still about as stiff as the quick ship bullhide belt was new.

Is the stiffener worth the money?

I can’t remember if I got the stiffener. I don’t think I did, because I intended it only for a sig 238 (and now a shield). If I regularly carried a heavier gun and spare ammo I would have got it.

Also interesting story, the old owner would not sell the name until the new owner could personally duplicate his quality level.

I use hanks like many others but for owb carry o want to get a belt with either a polymer or steel core. Buckleless would be a plus since I carry aiwb when I’m not wearing a coat.

 

[Tallen]

Another vote for Beltman; I own two myself.

As mentioned you can't go wrong with Hanks. I've been wearing the original gunner belt daily for the last few years and it's still good as new

Mitch Rosen... great stuff

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

I've been trying out a Kore belt for about 6 weeks now, the zip tie style adjustment is all kinds of awesome. My only slight complaint is the buckle I chose, little sharp on the corners.

Ordered Old World Harness belt, thanks guys! Been looking for a 2nd belt. I do have a 5.11 synthetic leather belt as a backup but it's like wearing a steel band.

It's interesting as i check out the sites, everyone has a wait of at least 3- and up to 12 weeks. Doesn't anyone keep inventory?

Love my Kore gun belt. Sturdy, looks like a contemporary dress belt and grows and shrinks like I do. Always able get it comfortable and never wishing the hole was in a different spot

You checked Hanks? I've ordered a few and all of them were here within a week tops

AG Gunleather.
I have worn one as a dress belt for a decade. It’s awesome.

I have a Filson double layer belt. Not the cheapest and not 'gun specific' but made with bridle leather and doesn't sag at all with a 226 hanging off it.
