Good gun belt:
Double thick. Always double thick. This doesn't mean huge, just 2-ply. Any holster maker that makes belts, uses 2-ply. 2 layers of leather, glued and stitched. I'd say they average 1/4 inch thick, give or take a few 32ths.
The belts that the beltman, me, HBE, and several others are pretty much the same. I know we 3 use the same leather. Others use different leather, but product is still pretty much the same. Some makers also might add a kydex strip or some other stiffener between the leather, but this is hardly necessary. You could get a thinner belt with this added, but I don't think thinner is an option, just thicker.
Crossbreed uses latigo/vegtan in their leathers which is something I wouldn't mind trying. Latigo is usually a little stiffer than veg tan, but I'm not sure on the wear of it, how it will break in.
