I would like to get some recommendations as to good belts (gun belts). Please let me know make and where I can find them. I would also appreciate if there are features I need to look for and avoid.

Thanks
 
I like my Wilderness belt, I wear it every day. Then again I dont have to wear a suit or anything 'nice'.
 
The choices mentioned are good. If you can, buy your holster and belt from the same maker. They should fit together better that way.
 
Wilderness Instructor belt!!!! I was un-sure even after reading nothing but good things about them. I got mine for Christmas, I won't wear another belt ever again!
 
I am assuming you dont mean a duty type sam browne belt. If thats the case then I have been wearing milt sparks for years and I just love it.
 
I picked up a Don Hume about a year ago, at one of the gunshows in Houston, TX. It is very well made and though I wear it at least 8 hours a day, still looks like new. Mine is 1.5" wide.
 
I am very happy with my belt from DeSantis, as I am with all the products I have purchased from them.
 
Check out simplyrugged.com. I have one of his holsters and it rocks. I have on order a pocket holster and a belt, should be here soon. oh yeah, don't forget to check out the prices.
 
Go to a tack shop and ask for a near-side latigo. That's the strap that holds the saddle on. It makes a great belt, and costs less than a name-brand gun belt.
 
I have two from Galco, one leather (which my expanding waistline has rendered a "goal" belt, now--curse you, expanding waistline) which I was extremely satisfied with, and one made of BioThane, which so far I am quite happy with, and seems to work, but it's still being evaluated.

The leather one was about...hm, maybe $80; the biothane one was around $30.
 
Wild Bill's Concealment

Check out Wild Bill's belts and holsters. I have his belt and holster for my Kimber Custom II. Google search will hook you up to his website.
 
+1 for wild bill's. I have a belt I bought two years ago that you can hardly tell I've worn, although I wear it @ every other day, and have two holsters for my 340sc and my 1911. Excellent quality and finish, and not priced way out of range. Also, he's a nice guy to boot. Talked with him at several gun shows.
Also, check out Bob Mernickle. He makes some awesome stuff as well.
 
Beltman, I have a 1.25" horsehide, and my dad has a 1.25" bullhide and we both love them. I also have two 1911 IWBs that he doesn't really make anymore, and a keltec .380 holster from him. Pictured:
