DeSantis mens 1 1/2" Everyday Carry Belt

I'm always nervouse about buying products online when i can't test them out first, or physically try them out. My belt came to me in perfect condition. Belt was the size that i ordered, in the color that i asked for. extremely stiff and buckle is strong. Shipping was fast, 4 days from ordering for me. Currently using the belt now and i love it.

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.

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.The powder coating on the buckle started wearing off after a few days. The belt loop started to abrade at the fold after 4 months of daily use.UPDATE (1/23/2025): The belt loop lasted 10 months and broke through today. Now it just flaps around.UPDATE (2/6/2025): I called the phone number on the warranty page of the DeSantis website and a friendly customer support rep quickly mailed me a replacement loop. The loop is easily replaceable with an Allen key. They get a star for standing behind their product.

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.

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.

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!

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.

I made the horrible mistake of wearing a leather holster with a nylon gun belt. No way! The nylon belt with the kydex rib squeezed the holster, causing the slide to rack as you force the pistol into the holster.This belt works great with a leather holster, such as other Desantis holsters. Unlike a department store belt, it supports the gun just fine.Rigidity could be a tad greater on this one, especially for an all-metal Sig P229, hence the 4 stars.
