Last 20 plus years our plainclothes Dept has been required to wear shirt and ties every day regardless of activity.

We do a lot of in and out of cars and houses doing searches and physical activity. It’s gets hot and sweaty and uncomfortable really fast.

Just talked the boss in to going to polos with the badge and dept. on it.

I have two BeltMan belts I wear every day with a Glock 45 and a Raven Concealment Phantom or Safariland ALS holster.

I’d like to go to a outer/inner belt set up that a little more adjustable than my leather belt and could be easy on/off and still look good with khakis/chinos.

Anybody have a recommendation?  Like to keep it 1.25 preferably or 1.5” at most.

We went with the wilderness instructor belt or copies of it. It all depends on what you’re carrying. It’s enough for a Glock in a Safariland holster, two spare mags, and a pair of cuffs. The radio goes in a cargo pocket.

Ares Gear Aegis belt.  They are not cheap, but you will be happy, and wonder why you have worn anything else.

Aker B21.  Holds your pistol, two extra mags and cuffs without any sagging.  Works well with jeans or in a suit.

Already have two Beltman.  Not looking for another leather set up.  Looking for a possible Nylon belt (or leather) that has a inner belt attachment if possible.

I use an inner/outer setup from DSG. I’m in a plain clothes special operation unit and I wear it with jeans and a T-shirt a lot.

Have to look them up. Thanks.

Yeah my Beltman belts are doing fine. But I work wear I may get called in to court at short notice and wear “slacks”and they’re kind of flimsy and hard to deal with. Want something that I can strip off easy in the office for 10-200 trips etc. basically a uniform duty belt but not as bulky.

What’s the point in being plainclothes if your wearing shirt and tie?

Not trying to be a jerk just wondering what the thought process is ?

I am a Court Probation Officer. I do a lot of Court hearings and formal office stuff. I have worked in a very traditional circuit and was supervised by very traditional old school judges who believed we needed to dress this way.

It makes it very hard when we need to do our “supervision/investigation” part of our jobs working in shirt/ties and slacks.

Never been happy with it but I have to play by the rules I’m given. I’m making progress as the chief of Dept but it has been slow going.

Amazon has this ;
MISSION ELITE Heavy Duty EDC Tactical Belt.
It costs $14. Comfortable. No metal.
Stiff enough for OWB (or IWB) carry with a good holster. I, too, am a Raven fan. This is my EDC w a G26 (10+2) or a G43.
I’ve used mine over 2 years and there is zero wear & tear.
Wouldn’t want to hang a whole lot of stuff on it, but for what you described ... ?
Hell ... return it if you think you wasted $14.

Stay safe

Unity Tactical Clutch Belt

I'll second the Ares Gear Aegis.  From your post it sounds like you want something that you can don/doff all your kit at once like a patrol guy, but in my experience I can carry everything I need, concealed in appropriate "Agent Casual" using an Ares Aegis belt threaded thru the loops.  I keep my equipment on all day for 10-14 hours a day, 5+ days a week.  If you need to be more dressy you can upgrade to a Mean Gene using the same buckle.

If you MUST drop all your kit to settle into that comfy office lifestyle (or to make those jaunts into booking or a secure facility easier) with nothing on your waist the only thing I can think of that I've personally used that I like are either the Jones Tactical inner/outer belt or the Unity Clutch. Neither however are appropriate for non-concealed use in a tucked in shirt with a jacket if that's how you roll, you'll have to be untucked shirt. The buckles are "tactical" or non-existent and not professional.

I've also used a Crye MRB for low-profile, but again, it's not appropriate for agent or dress casual... more tacticasual.

This is the only correct answer

I use bigfoot gun belts, I swear by them, the rest of the guys in the office have gone to them too.

The Esstac Shooters Belt is a nice low profile inner/outer belt system if that’s what you’re looking for.

Been my belt for years. Not LEO or anything, just normal CCW guy.

I use the same belt when I shoot informal competition matches too. Carries a full size gun, plenty of mags, just fine.

I carry my CZ-SP01 with a TLR-1 and a spare mag sometimes, and it is plenty comfortable, and secure, all day long.

I've worn a Looper Leather belt for years and it's still holding up and in great condition after 10 years of wear. I wore it during plain clothes VIP details with Blackhawk holster with G19, spare mag, cuffs and Kenwood coms. I don't do dignitary protection anymore and still wear the same belt for my off-duty conceal carry.
