      Sorry for abusing this thread but..
      Belt recommendations? I’m not trying to spend a million dollars on it but at the same time my current belt is terrible and from target.

      What kind of belt do you want? There are plenty of good leather choices on the markert from 100USD-200USD. What buckle style do you fancy?

        @Jeanmoreau I have belts from Pigeon Tree and B.Weiss leather,both fine craftsman from Colorado. I prefer B.Weiss in general,and you don’t have to wait 3 months for one of his belts. Bullhide belts are good for a mass produced belt.

          I really know nothing about belts so I don’t know what belt buckle.. A normal looking one?

          B Weiss is 500 dollars. I can’t be paying that much for a belt. I’m thinking around 100 maybe even less? Is that possible for something decent?

          What about those ones that start out as really light then get darker as you wear them? Is that legit or some sort of gimmick?

              A good natural vegtan belt is an excellent choice. Not a gimmick, totally legit. I have the IH version and have had it for seven years. Use it 300+ days a year. I’d say it has twice as many years left in it. Not a bad buy for 200USD.

                If you search for leather gun belts you can often find nice shops that make simple sturdy belts. I bought a couple from bullhide belts years ago that I've worn daily that still look fantastic and are great belts since they're meant to hold up heavy things hanging from them. They were very customizable when I bought and specifically liked how they offered 7 holes spaced at .75" rather than the more typical 5 holes at 1" spacing.

                    I recommended Bullhide to him as well. I agree,and have 2 of their belts.

                      For me, IH tochigi belt is 10x better than my $100 belts. Pay 2x, get 10x = great value

                          Interesting. So what makes a belt better than another at this price point?

                            Quality/longevity and utiles derived from wear. Only negative is garrison buckle has to come off at airport security. Worth it

                              I have an IH belt and don’t think the leather/strap compares to B.Weiss or Pigeon Tree. Just my opinion.

                                  Not finding good info on the bweiss website or any contact info. How many and What spacing are the holes? Is it held together with rivets or Chicago screws for swapping out buckles?

                                      .  He has you measure a belt that currently fits you and does the sizing based on that. I don’t get the impression that he wouldn’t space the holes anyway that you want them. He’s pretty accommodating,and has a pretty big following on IH. I’m not home and not wearing his belt so I can’t answer your question on buckle attachment.
