I switched over to 5.11 belt. The dress belt has a very rigid insert perfect for carrying. I bought mine in brown but I'm certain they have black.
In fact I'm not entirely sure how I took so long switching to a specialty carry belt. It makes a huge difference in comfort and ride for the larger frame guns I carry. Glocks

Milt Sparks makes a great leather belt in a large variety of styles and sizes.

Aker B21 is worn by me daily whether it's with a suit and tie or jeans. Readily available and not too expensive. It has an insert that stands up well to wearing a medium size semi auto pistol with an OWB holster, double mag pouch, handcuffs and a cell phone.

I've been carrying with an Aker LP224 from Galls Inc. since 2008 and I doubt I'll wear it out in my lifetime.

I have been using a leather belt made by a bootmaker in Clarendon, Texas for over 12 years as my daily wear/dress belt by the name of James Owens. It is tough as hell for a belt and has taken all I can throw at it. I will be getting another one on my next trip up to see my parents in the Pothandle North of Amarillo.

Mernickle makes nice stuff. 5 year replacement warranty also.
Basic belt here. They do offer fancier options |

Good suggestions everyone. Thanks for the contributions.
I've also come across the Alabama Holster Company, they make dress belts. Anyone have experience with them? |

Have been wearing an aker dress belt since 2004 when I got my chl. Still have my original belt plus a new one that I got a couple years ago since the original was pretty scratched up. New one for work at the office, and the old for work around the house. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Another vote for Milt Sparks. I've owned several over the years, bought for the days when I wore a suit and dressed up more. I also own a couple of Mitch Rosen belts and had the same experience. Both are quality makers and you can't go wrong with either.

A dress belt is not typically 1.5" wide. That is going to look pretty unconventional with a suit. 1 1/4" is more the norm.

I can't say enough good things about Comp-tac.
It's still like brand new, 5 years later. Literally. |

Just tried the First Spear belt that SKD (site sponsor). Carries. Really enjoy it and the standard non cobra buckle doesn't pinch little holes in the front of every single. T-shirt I wear anymore. Black and Tan and not too tactical. Made outta some cool sciencey like stuff.

Raven Eilodon. Sometimes the vanguard but I prefer my pistol off my skin. The belt and holster setup are great nothing else has come close. I'm a small frame gent so most options just weren't quite enough.

I had one of these
Good belt. Supports a G26 in an MTAC very well. I need to get a new one though, its too big for me now. |

Mitch Rosen or Beltman. I have half a dozen Beltman belts, in an age of so so quality etc....they are a refreshing change.

Been using the A Better Belt USA UGB and the Armour Belts have worked great for me and look dressy enough for a 1.25" belt!
Both have great customer service and craftsmanship is amazing! |

I have a Galco. It's thin enough (front to back, not height) that it will fit the belt loops on my suits and dress pants. The "double thickness" belt I have won't. I don't think the 1.5" looks out of place on my suits and dress pants, but I am 33yo, fit, wear slim or tailored shirts, and my pants are flat front without cuffs. If I was an older paunchy, balding man that wore pleated and cuffed slacks, the wider belt might look out of place, but I'm not. And I live in semi-rural Indiana. Not exactly a center of high fashion.
