The Beltman on the web and also Bianchi makes some nice stuff. I presume you are talking belts that can support a carry side arm..

In 1976, my wife bought me a 1.5 inch brown leather belt made locally with my name on it.
that's 36 years and it's still worn every day with a holster on it.
I would say that any leather belt with adequate thickness will last a lifetime.

Just be sure to allow for "shrinkage" over the next 40 years or so  ;)

;D it shrank for a few years, but now that I'm old, it's getting longer.  I wonder how it does that?

I wear a black military type belt. Nylon with a military type buckle. I like it because it will adjust perfectly in length for what ever I'm wearing or however my waistline changes. Black with a black buckle and it looks decent with most types of dress as well.

I've tried a variety of other belts and always keep coming back to it. Haven't found anything I like better or even as well. It's tough, light weight and versatile.

I like wide, heavy belts that won't turn over or sag.
There are a lot of makers out there. Store bought have have always left me sad.

I been using these Amish belts for a few years, they have some meat in them, price is reasonable for a belt 1/4" thick.

Jimster---Just bought one, thanks for the link.
Seems like--for the price--a good gamble for a utility belt.

Well let me know how you like it William, they are nothing fancy, but I have found they are a good bargin compared to all the big name expensive ones around.

I have two belts that were made for dress that are one piece leather in 12oz . GOOD belts.
The most recent duty/western gunbelts tha I had made are from two different guys.
Black Hills made me a 3 inch. It is a two ply belt and a good one--Rudy does an excellent jon on all of his stuff--I am waiting for the shoulder holster.
The other 3 inch is from Ross leather out of S Africa. It is a one ply belt and the stiffest of the two. Lindsay did this one for me in a basket weave. I love it.
