Wilderness Tactical Original Instructor Belt, 5 stitch, 1 3/4". I think they were running a Christmas sale, got it for $39.95 with the 5-stitch option. ($47.90 with shipping)
Great belt, makes a huge difference in holding up whatever you hang on it. I like the velcro, it means I am not limited to the 5 or 7 hole fixed positions. I have not tried other belts (other than a department store thick leather belt), but can say that the 5-stitch is very stiff. Completely different than a normal thick store belt. I did quite a bit of forum searching over other nylon belts and it seemed that Wilderness was much stiffer than other belts.
I will probably get a nice leather gun belt at some point, but this works for most of of the time with the way I dress.
It holds an OWB Blackhawk CQC Serpa with an XDm3.8C. In my pockets, I usually EDC an extra 13 round mag, SOG Trident, and a Swiss Army knife, plus whatever other junk and rocks my kids dump in my pockets. It holds all day long with no issues, and maintains a stiffness that keeps my firearm and holster close to my body.
When I do order the leather belt, I've narrowed down my choices to these belts. I'm having a problem attaching images right now. If I can get it to work I will repost.

A&G Leather – 80
Beltman - 90
Crossbreed – 60

Does it support the gun well? I was looking at picking up one in carbon fiber or black.

Crossbreed. Best belt I have ever tried. I did just order a Wilderness Tactical though. I thought it would work well in the summer with casual shorts.

I have a pretty stout dickies belt I use for work that I am going to give a shot. If it doesn't work out I will get something heavy duty in the near future.

It's amazing how much of a difference a good, heavy duty belt makes.
