Unless you are looking for something stylish, I opt for a tactical belt. There are dozens of choices.

For a heavy duty belt that can carry gear and still look nice it's tough to beat "thebeltman". They are pretty expensive but are top quality.

For a cheaper belt that works great, is infinitely adjustable, and is a good deal I'd recommend the Wilderness Frequent Flyer belt.

Interesting that no one mentioned lehmans.com because they're in Amish country and cater to those with an "only buy it once" outlook ;-) I've never bought a belt from them, but everything else I've bought has been excellent.

Or maybe llbean.com - I've not purchased a belt from them but I can't wear out some of their jackets and my wife and I both like their flannel sheets.

Gun belts are reinforced to hold holsters. That might work?

I've used a Daltech synthetic belt for years and expect it to last the rest of my life. It is impervious to chemicals and moisture (unlike even the best leather) and looks "normal" with jeans.

I've taken up leather crafting as a hobby (number 746) and am still learning. My next project is going to be a basic belt after which I will probably try a heavy duty gun belt. Should be interesting to fool around with.

Just saw this thread; sorry I'm late to party. I used one of these belts for over 25 years. Suspenders are optional. Of course it is worn over your normal belt, but will carry about anything, mine carried about 20# gear; instruments, rock hammer, self rescuer, spads, electrical tape, tools, cap lamp, flame safety lamp. While the big battery cap lamp and flame safety lamp went the course of the dodo bird, I preferred wearing a cap lamp with a cord, as 6'5" tall, losing one's hardhat and having it blow down an entry, was unsafe in my opinion.

I bought the Men's Lifetime belt (brown) from Duluth Trading. It's thick (about 1/4 inch) but very pliable and impressive looking belt. Normal cost is $69.95, but there was a 25% off sale, so it only cost $52.46 when purchased in person. I originally was going to get the Men's Gets Better with Age belt at normal price of $44.95, but the store stock had visible scratches on the surface of the belt.


If you want to build your own belt, Tandy Leather is good source. My father still wears one of their belts he made years ago.
