Title: Good leather belt??
Post by: sled on January 18, 2015, 10:45:35 PM
I'm in lake Stevens, and am having a hell of a time finding a good leather belt worth a damn.
My previous belt came from Wilson leather.  I checked them out but nothing looked good.
Any ideas?

I have a rather large gerth. The best belt I have found to date came from Cabelas.

Filson sells some pretty nice belts.  Had one for about two years now and wear it everyday.  Still in really good shape

+2 for Filson.

I've had this one for 7 years and it still looks new.  Put some mink oil on it then buffed it out so it wouldn't stain my clothes. Like most Filson products, worth the money.

Also comes in 1.25" width

I have two Filson belts, and they are the best quality.  The one I'm wearing now was bought in the 90's.  It's been through hell and back & still does the job.  I bought a new one recently, so I could wear it when we dress up.  My old one is well broken in.  They have various widths available & they are made from bridle leather.  Can't go wrong.   :twocents:

This is the one I like best:

I lost my belt, I've tore the house apart looking for it and the camper, shop, kids' rooms.  I've no clue where it could have run off too.

It was hand made by a guy in Addy, WA who owns colville fastner.  I'm going to get another one I really liked it.

I got a gun belt from this guy after reading up on a concealed carry forum.  Expensive, but by far the best belt I've ever owned, perfectly supports any holster system from a full size auto on down.

I got the 1 1/4" dual layer bullhide with the internal stiffener, have been wearing it for 2-3 years now.

Sportsman's Warehouse has good ones for about $30. You can also get good quality belts at the Saturday Markets usually.

 There are some pretty good local options usually available at the WAC gunshows.

You can't get a good leather belt for 30 or 40 bucks, buy a Galco Cop belt and you wont regret it, there awesome, about 60 to 70 bucks.
I've had one that I use every day that carrys a concealed firearm for the last 10 years and it is still awesome, Buy once Cry once. :tup:

Ya that! If you need to carry a load and not feel it you need something like this. I carry my ruger Alaskan on a belt man belt. Distributes the load and makes it very manageable.

 After reading this and looking at the site I ordered a new belt from this guy. It arrived at the door in less than a week, the fit was perfect as I followed his measuring directions, and the quality is great. It is the first quality "gun" belt I've gotten and so far it seems to make carrying a firearm more comfortable and less noticeable. It is stiff compared to the old Cabelas belt I was wearing, but it is also comfortable.
 After wearing it for almost a week now I highly recommend the ones from this guy. He also sent a listing of belts he has that were mistakes or returns at discounted prices only available to those who order from him, there is one more I will be getting from that list.

i also finally broke down and ordered one from him today.  I had some difficulties ordering online so I called him.  He asked how I found out about him.  When I told him on a Washington hunting forum he said (wow thank goodness for the Internet).  Thought it was kind of funny.  Can't wait to get it. :tup:
