Not tying to highjack your thread but I make and sell a nice heavy 9-10 oz latigo belt. I have been selling belts for 3-4 years now but I have not advertised that here on TradGang. Not sure why??
I make them in 1.25", 1.5" and 1.75" wide. I offer black, brown and tan. If you are interested I would be happy to email you a picture. Oh, and no extra charge for plus-sizes (if applicable).
Mostly I sell my belts at gunshows. They have that comfortable broke in feel but because latigo is super strong and doesn't have much stretch to it the belts are great for carrying a holster on.
