I am a plus size, full figured fella and have been searching the net for an affordable, quality belt. I saw some decent belts, but when you add the extra for my size needs they were getting pricey.
So I had an idea.....
I am having a belt custom made for me by a local saddle & tack shop. I need a belt that meets two criteria: It must be rigid to support a CC holster, and because I am currently working on a weight loss program, it must be one piece so I can cut it down as my waist line shrinks.
The shop owner had me come in and check out different types of leather and explained the characteristics of each. We decided which one would work best for what I wanted it for. After measurements and selecting a buckle I was given the total cost. $40 bucks, with my choice of tool work.
I also picked up nice leather cowboy holster for my Rough Rider .22 cal revolver, for $20 bucks.
I just thought I would share, in case there are others looking and getting as frustrated as I was.
