You can even buy a belt there on the facility if you have to. Just pack whatever you feel like bringing but you really don't need much.

Saddleback leather out of TX. 100 year guarantee. One piece leather that will tow a car. I wear with my uniform (the old bull belt) and as my everyday belt - complete with Sig Sauer - at home.
Plus, the holes are spaced at smaller intervals than your typical belt. Allows you to go for seconds at the buffet:eek:

Pricey but the last belt you'll need.

With a 100 year warranty, that belt will outlive me!

Motto is, "they'll fight over it after you're dead." I have a lot of their stuff. Wallet, iPad cover, notebook cover, etc. Full grain leather (best you can get). If you're lucky you'll get a brand or barb wire scars on it. No seriously, some of their stuff has it.

I got my belt from Bull Hide Belts. I've been really happy with it. Good quality gun belt and customer service.

I love the motto! So I take it that their products are worth their cost then?

Absolutely. It's pretty unique stuff. Owner has a ton of videos on his website on why his product is better. He even did a tongue in cheek video on how to knock off his bag. Which really showed why his product was superior. Parachute cord stitching, rivets, etc. those bags are...dare I say...beautiful. There's videos all over the Internet that review his gear. My favorite is the one that shows where to fit the 1911!

Had an FBI guy on the plane. Struck up a gun conversation. Lifted his suit coat to reveal his service weapon. I was like, "is that a Saddleback Leather belt? " Yep. Said it was the only belt he's found to stand up to everyday carry. Plus, the SB logo - etched into the leather - is a Labrador Retriever wearing a sombrero. Who can't appreciate a Labrador wearing a sombrero?:D

Thanks, I'll definitely check them out as I'm looking for a new belt. To they scratch easily from holsters?
