I've been putting off replacing my old Ranger style belt, because it is a pain in the ass to thread through belt loops but is still in great shape.
This coupon code is the incentive I needed. I ordered a kydex reinforced carry belt. Thanks Hanks!

Been wearing one of their leather belts every day for a couple years now. Favorite belt I’ve ever owned.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Their extreme 1.5 is what I have and I don’t find it stiff enough. Good to know. I have been eyeing their Steel Core Gun Belt for a while now https://www.hanksbelts.com/products/hanks-steel-core-gun-belt. I like the fact it is the thickest belt (.37) that I could find and was very stiff. Whereas the Extreme belt is only .23 - .26 thick and not as stiff. If you had to do it over again, would you buy the Steel Core belt knowing what you now know? Do any other members have experience with the Steel Core belt? |

Love their belts. I have one, it is the best leather belt I own (and that takes in a lot of nice belts).

The Bison belt seems kinda neat. A few quibbles:
2. I really wish they had a 2" wide one available. EDIT: Objections countered, and I can live with a 1.5". I'll buy one. |

The esquire is a very solid dress belt, imo
At normal prices, it seems high, but maybe I'm just a poor or don't "get" the pricing of raw materials At 25% off, it is a good deal for white collar (ish) types |

Dang. Nice. I’m proud to be a part of that traffic. I lost my Hank’s wallet a couple years ago. Ordered the exact same one as soon as I got home. I really don’t need anything; my belt and wallet are both still super solid. I might buy a wallet for my son. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Maybe arfcom can explain how that email went to my Gmail when I've never given it to them. Data sharing. You may have different email addresses but they're all digitally linked. Welcome to the future. I got a new Iphone just before I retired. I ported all my contacts from my work phone that I was getting rid of. I spent an hour deleting numerous old contacts that I would not need. Sure enough a week or so later a crapload of contacts popped into my cleaned up contact list from my yahoo mail account. All sorts of one time email contacts that I didn’t want populated my phone list. Ie if I had an EE contact in 2007 via email,....your contact info showed up. I got a Hank’s belt in the last six months. One of their holiday sales. Decent belt. There is another maker that offers belt hole spacing at 3/4” versus 1”. I kind of prefer that feature. I have about 4 high end gun carry capable belts. Hanks quality is as good as the others. About the only feature I don’t care for is the roller on the buckle. It’s not needed. |

You always buy a size up from your regular pants size with any belt. 2 sizes up for a concealed carry belt. So the 32 size they have you are talking about is actually the size you would get for carry if you had a 28 inch waist... |

The belt I'm wearing right now measures exactly 30" (from A to B, where B is the inner most hole - I just checked). And it's really not functioning as much of a belt, when I'm not carrying (it's a tad loose - but it looks cool). Does Hank's measure from the center hole? If so, the 32" would probably work, depending on which buckle I'm wearing. I don't want a dedicated belt for IWB carry only.

Quote HistoryI'm about 90% sure I have that belt. Same "American Made" no brand name printing. My LGS sells them for $45. It's a well made belt, just not quite stiff enough. Any gun over 30oz unloaded with a hybrid holster and it struggles. I like ratchet adjust reinforced nylon belts now like Kore. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Website says he measures to center hole. I went two sizes up and found it small. I Used the free exchange program with my first belt and ended up with a 40" belt with a 34" pant. Use center hole when carrying and one in without. I have a 37-38 inch waist and have a few Hanks belts in 40 and 42 inch. With having both I have found that I prefer the extra length and will always order 2 sizes up from now on. |
