DeSantismens 1 1/2" Everyday Carry Belt

Very happy with this belt. For the price it is absolutely perfect. You can't get a cheap flimsy dress belt for the price of this Desantis. It is pretty stiff and holds a gun holster well. The finish was perfect upon arrival but I can see over time the finish will wear/flake off where the buckle rubs against the face of the belt and where it sticks through the hole. Not too big of a deal for me since the usability is completely worth the price. I can't speak for how long the belt remains stiff as I've only worn it a few times. Fits true to size. I wear 33" jeans and ordered a 34" belt. Fit in the center hole.

This was my second Econo Belt. I use it as my belt for every day carry. It is a sturdy belt and supports a full size service pistol without issue. First one lasted about three years of 6 days a week use.

The belt loop is very thin and is starting to abrade away on the inside near the top after about 4 months of daily use. This is probably from inserting and removing the thick belt. The belt is just holding up my pants with no hardware. I’ve never had a belt loop wear out in many previous belts, and they were just fashion belts that lasted for many years each. I’d redesign the loop to be a little looser to ease insertion and use a harder-wearing grade of leather or synthetic material.The powder coating on the buckle started wearing off after a few days. I’d redesign the belt with a harder finish, which doesn’t have to be expensive.The belt strap is thick and appropriately stiff, showing little signs of wear and holding its shape perfectly. I’m sure it would hold substantial weight if I were to add some hardware. The 1-1/2” width is nicely “beefy” for jeans and even fits my dress pants, although the dress pant loops won’t hold the double layer of strap beyond the buckle and loop.

Got this belt to go with my aliengear iwb holster. Was kind of scared because of the cheap price. I haven't tried any other concealed carry belts but this is 10000% better than a regular belt. It holds my gun and pants up well and is comfortable. Stays rigid just like you want. Looks nice too. Great belt for the price.

Seriously nice belt! High quality, STURDY, good looking belt. I cannot believe I only paid $18 for this. Well worth the money. I'm using for everyday belt and for conceal carry. I'm a 32" waist so I took the advice of others on here and purchased two sizes larger 34". It fits perfectly with and without concealed weapon. So I would also recommend buy two sizes larger!

Good, substantial product and great value. Belt is stiff, but not overly thick. Buckle blends with the belt nicely, and sizing info is right on - add 2" to your usual waist size, or the measurement of your existing belt at buckle to the middle of the five holes. I am a 36" and the 38" is right on.

I ordered a size 38 and I have to wear it in the tightest hole. I usually wear a size 33 pants and I knew the size 34 belt would be too small. I may be going to the nearest shoe shop to have them punch another hole in it if I lose a few pounds.This was a great upgrade to my Mossy Oak hunting belt. The stiffness and thickness of the leather removes the sag I experienced making it much more comfortable to wear. I can't imagine or would want a belt to be any thicker than this. The buckle is removable if you have Allen wrenches but i don't know what size you would need. For the money, there isn't anything else even close to it. You will pay at least $50 for a better belt. If you've been holding out for a good deal on a gun belt, you can't beat the $27 this belt costs.

This belt is very comfortable. I swapped the original buckle for a heavier, vintage buckle. This was my edc belt, unless on duty, 7 of 14 days. The belt was less than 2 years old when one of the 2 leather pieces holding the buckle broke. Technically, the belt had less than one year "wear" time.I do have another belt just like it for work, with the original buckle. Held up fine carrying 1911.For the money, comfort and ability to change buckles, I'll buy another one.
