So now that I've begun to get serious about CCW, holsters, mag pouches, etc I have found that I need a better belt.
I had a "so called leather" belt I bought a few years ago, It was 1 1/2" wide and come to find out it was some sort of laminated belt. It started separating and falling apart.
I really didn't want to spend $60-100 for one at this time. So I went on the search. Department store belts were "wimpy" to say the least. There would be no way it would stand up to the rigors of daily use.
I finally came up with a plan to check out Tandy Leather in Nashville. They were all so helpful. I ended up buying a plain leather belt for something like $8.99 and then some protectant stuff that gives it a little shine.
This seems like a well built, thick leather that should hold up for some time. The beauty is that you can buy it and dye it any color you like. I kept mine a natural color. Though I did put it in the sun a couple of days to darken the leather.
I'm thinking of going back and making a black one next. For $9 can't beat that price.
Anyhow just thought I would pass this along. As always do your own Due Diligence. You can check out http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/ to find a store near you or order online.
