The Pup was having a custom holster made, and we went to pick it up today at a local leather shop. I noticed they had heavy duty leather belts at a very attractive price. I got the double thick (1/4"), 1 3/4" wide, once piece leather belt for $35. I needed a new belt, and was thinking about a heavier duty belt than I have been using. This is one hefty belt, and definitely makes holster carry more comfortable.
I don't know if this is typical pricing for a belt at a custom shop, but if you are in the market for one, you might try a local leather shop.
The Pup was quite happy with her holster as well.
A little unplanned upgrade this morning. Site is working ok it seems.

That sounds like a very good price. I too would like to see a photograph if you or the pup could. I'd also like to see her custom holster.

Re: Bought a new gun belt today
OK, as promised a couple quick shots.
It's just a plain, albeit hefty, belt. I will probably pick up some appropriate color shoe polish for it, and maybe roll the top edges over.

I like that. Good knife belt to wear with buckskins.

Great belt and a great price!
I found a black one like that at a local gun show and thought 39 bucks was a good deal.
Later I found a shop that stamped my name on it.

Nice forty! Like the carbine and wheel guns too!
BTW...looks like that belt will last a long time clovise. Great price too.
