authentic This is not your normal belt
Everyday Carry (EDC) Belts need to be thicker, stiffer, and tougher than your average belt. Not only do they need to hold up your pants, but they need to do it with a couple pounds of steel, polymer, and leather hanging from it. Even more, if you need to draw your weapon, the last thing you want is your belt to flop around and add several inches of slop (and valuable seconds) to your draw. It needs to stay right where it belongs.
EDC Belts are around 16 ounces (1/4") thick and 1.5" wide (1.25" ladies belts also available)! They're made of two layers the finest vegetable tanned leather I can find, bonded and sewn together so that they're smooth and grippy inside and out. They have minimal vertical flex to help keep draws crisp and quick. The buckle will be a heavy brass (or chromed brass) heel-bar buckle that's nickel plated. Buckles are held down with Chicago screws so they can be swapped out by the user if desired. With my normal belts, the holes are 1.25" apart. In my EDC belts they're 1" to allow more flexibility in fit. The look isn't as clean but we're going for function here. As with all lined belts, the edges are sewn together. But with EDC belts the middle is sewn as well in a weaved "gunslinger" pattern that is both beautiful and functional, as it prevents the belt from stretching.
Belts are available in a variety of colors. I have several browns, black, oxblood (a reddish brown), blue, and a beautiful red that could be thinned to pink, if desired, on hand. Want something different? No problem, just let me know and I'll get it. Once you pick a base color we can discuss thread colors that will complement the leather.
EDC Belts are MADE TO ORDER. This means I need about 2 weeks lead time. I keep belt blanks on-hand but depending on demand, weather, and the mood of the package carriers, lead times might be affected if I run out. I will communicate with you if things aren't going to schedule! I don't like waiting on things any more than the next person.
Please look at the pictures for a guide on how to size your belt. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO GET ME A CORRECT SIZE. Pant size and belt size are NOT the same.
Once you place your order, send me a message with the size and color you want and I'll get straight to work.
As always, shipping is free and there cannot be returns or exchanges on custom orders.
