Belt Suggestions for IWB

[josh.mcdonald]

So I just picked up a set of AlienGear Holsters for the wife and I. Now I really need a sturdy belt to go along with. Any suggestions? I know AlienGear makes a steel core belt, but I was hesitant to order one right away to make sure the holster was going to work out ok.

Ask me again in a week and I'll give you a review of a belt from Tucker. 

 

I ordered a couple (IWB + OWB) holsters yesterday, Easter Sunday, from Tuckers (for the PCR I bought from lshel last week). And the belt on top of it. Get this, I got an email back from Rob Longenecker 20 minutes later (was around 7pm or so), advising me of the lead-time, which I already expected. I replied, with positive comments on my first holster from them (Mini-IWB for the RAMI), and asked if it was possible to get the belt separately ahead of time. 30 minutes later he replied back, and had changed the orders such that the belt will ship first (in about a week), before the holsters are made and shipped (about 7-8 weeks). Again, on Easter Sunday, between 7pm and 8pm. How's that for customer service? :)

I like crossbreed.  Mine is about 3 years old, and is worn daily.  Still stiff and great!

Either the Ranger or Aegis will be perfect. I have the Aegis and love it. Might be the last belt I ever buy ever.

Jerry Bissell, retired, his nephew took over the business, do some googling and you'll see tons of good stuff about Bissell and armour belts. I have 2 from Jerry's days and 1 from Armour, zero change in quality.

I've been wearing 5.11 for years and still like them.

+1 for the 5.11, and they are not too expensive to boot.

[MrsMonkeyMan2500]

Monkey has a 5.11 and I have two of the Alien Gear belts. Personally we both like our own, his has finally got to where he's out of notches, I'm trying to convince him to switch the AG but I'm 97% sure he'll stick with 5.11.

Another vote for Beltman. If you want something that can be worn with everyday dress; they are hard to beat.

Hank's belts are good thick leather very stiff. Amish made them seem to be made to last for years

I picked up a TDU belt from Amazon and has been fine. Not much of a shirt tucker these days. My other is a regular leather, not braded of course, Columbia that's held up well. Just my opinion from a thrifty (not cheap) person.

I'm using this belt from Daltech. Working great for me. As a bigger boy this isn't always an easy accessory choice,but I'm quite happy with the purchase. Also blends in well as an everyday belt look wise.

+1 for Ares Gear. I've had one of their Aegis belts for over a year now, and love it.

[A.J. Holst]

Good service from the 5.11 tactical, casual leather. Got a black leather Gould and Goodrich which is really nice. Bought local too

Bullhide belts SuperBio. As a big guy I used to go through belts constantly. I have worn this belt every day for seven years. Not even any stretching in the buckle holes. I believe this belt will last forever

[ehull20000]

My 5.11 has been working very well for the last two years.

[glowdotGlock]

I love my $25 5.11 belt.

[peejman]

Beltman for a good 10 years now.

[nightrunner]

I have a Galco belt that has held up surprisingly well.

[LawVol]

Mean Gene makes the best belt I've ever had. Leather + ares aegis buckle. IMO, it's the perfect combination.

[Shorty]

HSGI riggers belt with a cobra buckle to make things easy.
