I was wondering if an owner of a Wilderness Instructor belt could help me out with a couple answers...
Okay... Here we go... - After measuring my normal belt as per the instructions on thier web site, I came out at a "trim" 36". My typical carry is outside the waist band. Is there enough adjustment in the belt to also allow IWB if necessary? - I'd like to be able to use this belt for all my carry needs. Be it with a little .380 Colt or my XD-45. Would you advise me to get the stiffening stitching? Does it add extra weight or may the belt uncomfortable? - Last but not least... 1 1/2" or 1 3/4" width? Uniform of the day usually means Levi jeans... Thanks!! |

I measured for mine with the gun in place since I carry IWB. FWIW, I wear a size 32 jeans and use a 36" Instructor belt. Get the 1.5" width and 5-stitch model. ETA: The belt fits just fine without the gun in place as well. Sounds like you and I came fromthe same mold. Thanks for the advice!! Order inbound as we speak!!
