Leather belt recommendation for daily use and concealed carry?

[Happy Antelope]

Hanks Belts, the Buffalo skin I am not sure anyone could wear it out ever.

I've had the same magpul Tejas belt since they came out ~5 years ago. Can't say anything bad about it, awesome belt.

Three years on mine. Plenty of life left in it.

I have multiple belts from Beltman and have been happy with all of them. I probably would still be on my original one but my waste line isn’t cooperating.

Bigfoot gunbelts has held me together a long time

This. I have 4, all for different types of attire. One is definitely at least 10 years old (way before Alien Gear started calling them Bigfoot), and it is in excellent condition. That one is worn most, and has been exposed to lots of sweat, sun, etc.

I am a big fan of Hanks Leather Belts. I have one, I can't remember the style but nice full grain leather that I wear every day and have for a few years and it has held up nicely.

I have a Gunner's Alley belt from North Carolina. I only wear it for formal events where a black leather belt is required. Otherwise I'm wearing my Tenicor Zero belt.

Thank you for all the feedback guys, and I had no idea this market is so competitive. It sounds like there are several good options with a couple that guys have more experience with others. The nice thing is the price point seems to be within about $20-30 +/- and most of them are USA made.

I put a lot of weight into good customer service, and it sounds like Beltman is very popular for their product and support.

I'm 6'1, 225 (normally) but I tend to fluctuate 5-7 pounds in either direction depending on the time of year, but jeans, pants, shorts, are always a 36. Do ya'll typically buy up a waist size for IWB holsters and also upsize the belt accordingly or stick with standard waist size? I'm left handed, so I would carry opposite of appendix.

Versacarry has been great for me.

Follow the directions for measurement on the website when you order. Not everyone measures belts the same way. In you're going to carry a holster you get a gun belt. Not a dress belt. And if it's an IWB holster reach out to the maker and they'll talk to you about proper fit. None of the manufacturers listed want you getting buying a belt that doesn't work for you.

I have a beltman with the stiffner and its awesome. TSA hates it....but I love it. When I finally get to one size of belt, I will buy another in elephant hide just because.

TSA picks up the stiffener? Is this with the full body scan? Im pre-check and have never had an issue with the metal detector or the few times I was selected to go through the scan.

A Galco SB2 is a pretty decent belt. Mine's 10 years old.

A dude and his wife that will make you a custom belt. Tell Aaron what your intended use is. Local folks to me, A+ work and a one of a kind piece of leather that will be hand cut.

I been through TSA 5X this month and they flagged it 2x. Now I make sure it is standing on edge....seems to help.

I'm literally typing this from the airport in Orlando.

Hanks Leather Goods has some solid options.

I got the buffalo leather one as a gift. Tougher than owl sh*t

It's kinda ridiculous, not cheap, but no way you could weather that out in a lifetime. Best belt I have ever seen.

+1 for Hanks.

The Carhart Journeyman has been a good belt for the last 7 years.
I have worn it daily with mostly denim type pants.
Although it is imported.

My brother got me on Bullhide belts. Amazing selection and quality. I also bought a hippo hide wallet from then that has been awesome.
