I haven't used one of these so I can't speak on the quality, but last night I discovered Crossbreed seconds has some belts for great prices

Some of those are nice looking and are cheaper than a regular belt at Kohl's

Gonna have to bookmark that site for later

Thanks for posting it!

I bought two Payolee CC belts, brown and black, has a roller buckle. No issues with a 1911 an OWB. Got it at amazon. Happy with it so far.

OP. Are you looking for a belt for open carry that fully supports the holster? If you are you will be limited since you usually need a belt at least 1 1/4 minimum to 1 1/2. Most dress belts are an inch or less.

But if you are carrying IWB you don't need a belt. Just clip it so the spring is over a belt loop and it will not come out during a draw. Then when you put a thin dress belt over the clip you are even less noticeable.

Goal is appendix carry. So true, I could ulticlip under or also use DCC clips. Like the idea of replacing my normal dress belts with ones that can also double up for EDC if I went more casual than tucked in dress shirts.
