I have a FIST belt that I have used for at least 5 or 6 years. It is the type that is double thickness only between about 7 o'clock and 1 o'clock. That is nice in that it is single thickness in the tongue/buckle area. It has worn well, although I have touched it up with black leather dye to keep it that way. At first, it would "rub off" some of its black dye on my hands and light color pants. That went away quickly, especially after giving it a good "rub down" with a soft shoe-polishing cloth. It is not a "perfect" gun belt, but I haven't found one that is, yet. It looks great for casual wear, but will stand out on dress slacks. It is 1.25" wide. Next time, since it would be for casual only, I would order 1.5". It only has 5 holes spaced 1" apart. I prefer 7 holes spaced 3/4" apart.
