Belts Overview
The importance of the belt in your carry system cannot be underestimated. Most belts are designed to support only the weight of your pants. The gun belt should be made out of tough dense leather and should be lined with leather. The total thickness should be approximately ¼”. My belts are reduced in thickness slightly in the buckle area to make buckling easier. The gun belts in this section are designed to comfortably carry the weight of your pistol and equipment. Think of the belt as the foundation of your house.
Have you ever noticed the kink that develops in the rear of your belts? This is because your belt was cut in a straight line and is trying to conform to your body. The distance around your waist at the top of your belt is usually slightly less than your waist size at the bottom of your belt. This accounts for the bend or kink. The kink is also caused by the pants belt loops in the rear pulling down on your belt when you sit down. The solution is the contour curved belt. This style has been made for Western gun belts for years. Once you’ve worn a contour curved belt, you will find the straight cut belt noticeably less comfortable especially when the weight of your pistol and magazines have been added. The price is an extra $20.00 for this service.
In choosing which belt model is best for you, start by measuring the width of your pants belt loops. A second consideration is the weight of your pistol and equipment. A wider belt will give the heavier equipment more support. My belts are equipped with solid brass buckles. Nickel is available if requested. Colors available are tan or black.
I am offering two options for your belts, Double Stitching and Gunfighter Stitching.
Double Stiitching; In other words, instead of a single row of stitching there are two. This adds a lot more class to the look and adds rigidity to the belt. Add $25.00 for this option.
Gunfighter Stitching; some call it football stitching, diamond stitch, fancy stitch, et. Add $55.00 for this option
1" Belt Non-Tapered: This a frequent choice for women as well as men whose dress pants have the narrow belt loops. It will support light weight compact pistols comfortably. |
