Mark, are the belts 'totally' made of
grain leather? What width are they?
Are all sizes at one price?

The outer layer is 8-9oz Latigo, a very strong yet flexible leather,.. that is "backed" by 4-5oz Top Grain, the result is a supple belt that's nearly 1/4 inch thick offering superior vertical support with excellent conformability.

All leather, honestly would you expect otherwise from us?

1 1/2 inches wide

All same prices for now

What colors for the leather and buckle design choices do you have?
I want a dark to medium brown with a square shaped nickle buckle.
Also, are the buckles removable?
Thanks!

Are you planning on a brown belt as well?

alright, I was just at my local gun shop looking at belts, Im new to carrying so can someone school me on belts. Why is a gun belt so much better? what am i looking for?

Good vertical stability, as the holster/gun will be resting on the belt and not your pants. You want it to be stiff/thick enough to handle drawing and re-holstering your weapon.

Can't go wrong with crossbread.

Brown will be available, but not sure as to when.

The buckle that you see is the only one we plan on. The belt has easily interchangeable buckles so the user can put what they like on it.

Go to the web site and look at the pics, they are very explanatory

I was using a cheapo IWB Holster and anEddie Bauer belt..I kept havin; back aches and just blamed the holster and gun weight. After some reading here, I got a 5.11 Tactical belt that has a plastic stiffener and not had a problem since.

Should also mention I finally orderd 2) KD Holster, Defenders and am also looking for a good leather belt. I think I will get the RafterS Shark in Brown - I like the look and the texture, plus it doesnt scream "gun belt".
