Default EDC gun belt?

Looking for a 1.5" brown leather gun belt. I currently use a blackhawk belt for the range, but it doesn't always work with being a business professional. Any suggestions for a nice looking (nothing fancy) gun belt?

I've had good luck with custom made belts. My EDC belt is 1.5" saddle leather. No stitching, just some tooling. Super sturdy, doesn't stretch out. It only cost $25 too. It's not super thick either.

Not sure how "dressy" this belt needs to be, but I got this one for $20 from Tractor Supply. It seems nice and sturdy and for the price I figured why not give it a try.

It goes well with jeans and/or khakis.

There is another similar one at TS, but less rigid. The one I bought has the beefy roller buckle.

Check out Looper Leather or Blackhawk. I recommend any leather belt with permastiff or kydex woven into it.

Stay away from this 5.11 belt. The edges rubbed off exposing the white liner underneath. Looked like ass after a few times worn. Found this out too long after I bought them to return. Gave them to goodwill.

+1 for looper. I've toured their facility before and had them do a couple one off things for me. Really nice people.

Thanks for the tip on TS...I have one within 5 miles, and honestly, have not thought about looking there...

Yeah...it's worth a look if there is one that close. Remember, there are a couple of belts that look like the one I pictured (at least at the TS where I was). Look for the one with the larger/roller buckle. Very few of their belts would work for EDC, but the one I picked up seems quite nice for the price.

Someone else on here mentioned the TS option. I can't remember who it was or I would give them credit for the idea.

I've been using a Dickies "work" belt from Wal-Mart. $12.00. It's brown and could be worn dress or casual.

I have certain sizes of blackhawk leather belts In stock.

Though personally I use a double thick faded glory belt I got at Wally world for $12...

And my dress belt is a nylon/leather reversible belt by victorinox for $20.

Both are really stiff and affordable...
