Looking for a "tactical" or pseudo-tactical belt that doesn't scream "Tactical!" in the corporate/business casual dress code setting.

A great example of what I want would be Vertx pants.  They are tactical but discreet enough where you can wear them anywhere. The 1000 series. I want a belt to match them. Something better than Walmart-grade leather belt.

why not just a good stiff leather belt?

No.

There is nothing business casual about any of that stuff.

I wear a mean gene leather belt with the ares buckle everyday and I work at a bank. No one has said anything about it yet. I think if you don't have a cobra buckle and stick to leather you'll be fine.

I'd love to run a nylon belt, but I'm just not convinced that it works in a business casual to business professional environment.  I stick to my Beltman while at work.

Look at Magpul line of leather reinforced belts.

Get a leather belt and be done with it. I'm working now (armed) and have a decent leather belt that doubles when I wear regular clothes.

I think you want a "gun belt" not a "tactical belt".

Personally I wear a comp-tac belt every day* for 6+ years now and no one has every said something about it.

*Except job interviews and church. Good belts end up being thick, and don't fit through the belt loops on a suit. Fits some khaki's, but not all. Works fine in jeans and cargo pants.

My only concern with Hanks is that most are all leather, the rest reinforced with leather. I sweat my belts through often and load them up. In my experience, this slowly destroys a leather belt and excessive wetting and drying voids the Hanks 100 year warranty. A Tejas Burro has not rustable metal, no leather, and can be soaked with sweat or water over and over. Price is similar. It's a rubbery plasticy belt that looks like a leather belt at a glance. The Hanks belt is real leather. Magpul leather variants are expensive, Hanks is a better value there I think.

I wear a suit everyday and have several of his 1.25" leather belts in different colors.  I have a brown and black 1.5" belts that I wear on casual work days with a polo or button up.  They are casual enough that I've worn them with jeans and have been complimented on the belt and buckle.

They are meant to be carry belts so they are already stiff but you can order them with an insert that makes them even more stiff.  

Awesome belts.  I think I have seven of them.

ETA: Just notice your post right above mine.  If ever looking for a leather belt you can't go wrong with the beltman

I've been using these everyday and everyone think it's a regular belt. They are very stiff and keep their form.

Wearing a tan one with Riggs khakis right now. I have a black one I wear with jeans.
Of course I'm also wearing skechers safety shoes so the belt fits the motif.

Op what you described is NOT business casual by any stretch of the means. Show up to a true business casual setting you're woefully under dressed.

What you are wearing is what we call "roughs" or utility clothes. Wear whatever type of belt you want with that.
