I don't have a clue what is best but I am five years into wearing a Wilson double harness leather and it almost looks new. I love it and I cart a 5 inch steel 1911.

I settled on the Galco SB2 over twenty years ago. I'm on my third now, and it has many years of life left in it.

For leather I use a Beltman horsehide and a Wilderness Instructor Belt Five Stitch when appropriate.

I've got one from Tucker Leather that is almost too stiff...so stiff it too a very long while to break in. It's a good belt. I have one each black and a brown I purchased from an Amish guy who does leather work. They were inexpensive and are as good as anything I've ever used.

I have a DeSantis leather belt that is doing the job and looking good. It's become my everyday belt.

Leather: Milt Sparks for more than 20 years of daily use.
Synthetic Wilderness Tactical. The Frequent Flyer, with the non metal hardware being a favorite. It is also very light.
The FF, with a Kydex rig, and a Glock make for a very light combo that lends to comfortable all day carry.
THE CHAIR IS AGAINST THE WALL. The Tikka T3 in .308 Winchester is the Glock 19 of the rifle world. The website is up and running!www.lostriverammocompany.com

Bullhide "Amish Made Belts" make about two dozen versions, the "Bullhide" is just one, and they offer a number of options for each version. I normally run a plain smooth "Bullhide" for knocking around, with the optioned up fancier versions when dressing up. They are very comfortable belts that work well, unless you are running something that has trouble fitting the thick leather.

+1 on the Amish Made. Just got one from them. Got it on ebay. Quick shipping and a really nice belt.
Better to be over the hill than under it.

Wow! I wonder how many of those you can get from a single bull?  John

For leather I like my Milt Sparks and my Beltman (with the 3/4" spaced holes).
I also really like me Wilderness Tactical 5-stitch. I like the adjustability of it and being able to get it exactly where I want comfort-wise.
I prefer 1 3/4" belts.

I have been pretty happy with my Simply Rugged belt. 1.75," double layered, glued and stitched. Hard to beat the turn-around time and customer service too.
