I used to own a number of belts. Duty belts, dress belts, gun belts, casual belts and everyday belts. This morning, I was down to two. A dress belt I used on dressy occasions, and an everyday belt that held the Model 60 on my waist.
That dress belt was bought, as I recall, sometime around 2004. It hasn't been worn since I retired in 2019. All the other belts that own, (excepting the competition rig that carries my Colt holster), went away over the years. So, I'm down to three belts. The dressy one, the everyday rig, and the competition rig.
Today, I had to go to a funeral. I put on slacks and got out the dress bel. Put it on and when I went to tighten it, broke that sumbitch in half. It had dry-rotted. Just damn. I put on the everyday belt and went to the funeral.
I need to go buy a dress belt, something that looks better than the plain, old everyday rig I normally wear. And that pisses me off to no end. It's just aggravating. Now that I think about it, my everyday belt is about five years old. It might use an update too. I guess it's time to go down to Boot Barn or Cavender's and see what they have hanging in the racks.
And that's where I am with that.

In my experience, Amish leather belts are very well made. The Amish still have a sense of work pride in what they produce.
I like the klik belts for dress and carry both.
favorite belt is the current army issue nylon...but i'm not a dress up guy...
All my belts have shrunk. Humidity?
What happened to 5.11? They made a nice belt.
