I am a bit of a belt snob. Since becoming serious about carrying a gun everyday many years ago, I made it a point to have quality gear and not skimp on things that I believe are necessities: a reliable gun, a well made holster and a good gun belt. Glock was my gun choice, @NSR Tactical was my holster choice and depending on whether I wanted a nylon belt or a leather belt, my only choices were Special Operations Equipment or Galco, but now I am adding another belt to that list, Theis Holster's Leather Jake Belt.
My Galco gun belt is now over 3 years old and it's becoming soft, as all leather eventually becomes over time. The Galco belt is still a great belt and is holding up, but the leather is getting more supple allowing some bend to occur. So when @Theis Holsters did a sale recently, I took advantage and ordered a Jake Belt, and I'm glad I did.
The Jake Belt is 1.5 inches wide made of two layers of top grain leather. These two layers are glued and stitched with a heavy nylon thread for added durability, secured with Chicago screws and a heavy duty roller buckle. The result is close to a ¼" thick belt, offering superior support for my holster.
Besides the obvious quality that I noticed immediately and the rigidity of the belt, I really like that I can remove the roller buckle if I wanted and replace it with another awesome buckle, like my Pipe Hitters Union buckle.
The belt took approximately 3 weeks to arrive as noted on the website and it came in a priority mail box. I've only had the belt for a few days, so I will update this review as time goes on, but I'm very happy with this leather gun belt.
