I have a friend that needs a nice leather gun belt. Something he can wear with jeans or with dockers. He is driving me nuts! He wears these PIECE OF CRAP belts that youd buy at a department store. He bitches all the time about his back hurting etc etc well when I look at him carrying its clearly a result of his CHEAP FLIMMSY BELT! He refuses to wear something like a Wilderness belt and yet I refuse to wear anything but my Wilderness MAN ARE THOSE THINGS GREAT! Who makes a good quality leather belt without spending a bloody fortune? Any sites you can give me the url to that I can send his way? |

Aker. Otherwise, Galco, Bianchi, etc. 
None of these are cheap (compared to a generic W*M belt, let's say), but they are in line with many (overpriced, IMO) big-name "designer" belts... |

Hellweg Alessi Kramer I have the Hellweg 272L Dress Gun Belt 1 1/2" black leather. Solid belt, I've had it for almost 10 years now w/ on and off use and it still looks good. You can get them from Brownells for about $50. I also have an Alessi 1 1/4" brown leather belt, also a solid belt w/ over 10 years of off/on use. This one costs a bit more, I believe it was about $60 back then. |

How about Rafter S Gunleather. I have a cowhide belt from them that I have worn everyday for 3 yrs and it looks like a new belt. Highly recommended. |

I haven't done any searching lately, but I bought my 1 1/2" double thickness horsehide belt from Ted Blocker about 8 years ago. They had the best price I could find at the time. It's still doing fine, daily wear and when I'm out and about it has supported a Sig 220, now a 1911 steel frame, plus extras. |

Milt Sparks www.miltsparks.com/ Otherwise I would recommend the Wilderness CSM, which I wear everyday, but as you mentioned above, that is out of the question. |
