View Full Version : What's your carry belt?

I found some quality leather gun belts while visiting family here in Ecuador for $20 and I want you guys the opportunity to get them too.

First question, what kind of belt do you use for carrying? Is it a regular dress belt? Those don't tend to be the best when it comes to daily carry. They get out of shape easily and some holsters have issues grabbing ahold of them. And they don't hold up the weight of even light guns securely. Another reason to use a thick belt is so loop holsters have a much less tendency to slip around and end up in an uncomfortable or otherwise bad position. They measure 4cm wide which is a bit over 1.5inchs.

Attached below are the pictures. They are genuine leather double thick belts with a composite layer stitched inside to help it maintain it's shape for the long haul. They are really sturdy. I bought myself 2 already, one brown and one black.

They also have a zipper pocket (pictured) that is very low profile for whatever small item you'd like to keep safe, IE cash, handcuff key :D et.

If you want one I'll be goin back to the area of Ecuador that sells all the leather goods prior to leaving. Please post the overall length of belt you want (measure a belt you currently use) and what color and I'll make it happen. If you need it shipped it'll be an extra 2 bucks. I'll ship all orders on the 19th.

I'd appreciate it if you use paypal for the purchase unless I know you personally. That way I can keep it all organized. The email for that is

Compare to belts of similar quality at different leather and holster websites and you are saving over 60 bucks a belt.

Pocket, low profile. I think it's a pretty useful idea. Sewn directly into the leather and seems to be a high quality zipper.

Do they have them without the zipper? I am thinking I want one in brown. Do they have a natural leather belt?

they can make them without the zipper yes. what do you mean natural leather? isn't all leather natural? or do you mean color wise. They have to tan it or it doesn't work right. Would you like a picture of the brown?

Thanks for the offer, Jizzle.

How THICK are the belts? "A little over 1 1/2 in." plus a very thick belt will be a questionable fit for 1 1/2" belt loops, I imagine.

Money just sent via Pay Pal for a black one. Thanks much. Very kind offer.

make sure that you guys specify size in the notes/comments section and if you want me to ship it or will pick it up in person in alamo/holloman, if you are using paypal.

guess what? I've been wearing the belt for the past couple weeks and have to say I'm impressed with it. there are some minor signs of wear on it but, before you say... "it's only been a couple weeks wtf?" you have to realize what I've been doing while wearing it. I've been climbing mountains, rappelling off of waterfalls, jumping off of said waterfalls.. having fun with ziplines that are 500m long and just generally being rough on everything that I own while wearing this belt. And it's held up fine, especially for getting it wet over and over and over. I think that you guys will be impressed.

I noticed some of the chrome wearing off of my buckle on the belt that i have been wearing for a month straight, in really crappy conditions for clothes in general. Iīm not sure if itīs because Iīve put it though hell or the buckle doesnīt have the best that chrome has to offer. iīm gonna keep an eye on it. it doesnīt have anything todowith the belts toughness just itīs asthetic value. i will probably sand it all off and hit with with something wear resistant.

Sorry about reviving an old thread but i was wondering if there is a way to contact the makers of these belts to import some of them?
