What is a "Good" belt?

[femurphy77]

I've seen a lot of discussions on here in regards to the type of equipment needed to carry a handgun. A lot of carriers both OC and CC have given a lot of good advice. One of these tidbits of wisdom is "Be sure and get yourself a good belt to hang your holster from". So what exactly constitutes a "good" belt? I assume a wide belt of sufficient width to securely support the holster/weapon. Anybody care to elaborate on "good" belts.

I thought a "good belt" was a gin & tonic! But I like the black belt above better.

I think that leather would end up stretching a bit over time.

I used a heavy thick leather work belt. But I spent the money for the Instructors belt. Best belt I ever had.

A lot of the custom holster makers also offer belts. I like either Quality USA Handcrafted Belts - Bullhide, Bridle Leather, Elephant, Shark, Double Prong or Gun Belts by The Belt Man

I'm partial to the Crossbreed belts myself:

Got a bullbelt and couldn't be happier. This is the toughest and nicest belt Ive ever had and definitely worth the money. Makes carrying a gun a whole lot easier. If I had more money Id buy a couple of them but they are 60 bucks a pop. Well worth it but one belt does it for me.

I think that leather would end up stretching a bit over time.

Double layer gun belts are usually put together with the grain of the leather layers at a 90 degree offset. Stretching doesn't really happen that I can tell so far. I got mine from Beltman 3 years ago now and I haven't detected any stretching whatsoever.
Best belt I have ever owned.
