OK, This is what I did for my first gun belt.
Take your favorite "dress belt". Buy another leather belt. buy Gorilla Glue. Apply Gorilla Glue per instructions to one belt. Wrap both belts aorund bucket but do not "double-up" buckle area of belt (for me an ovalled out 5 gallon bucket worked). . Allow glue to set. You now have a double thickness belt while maintaining your "favorite" dressy belt as your outer/visible belt. I have a nylon (forget brand) "real" (read "manufactured") gun belt and my belt creation is more comfortable than it is....and plenty stiff and thick.
Laminations are stronger than 1 single thick layer. You could also install a thin layer of a stiffener in the area where your holster would be but I didn't think that was necessary and for the 2 belts I chose for construction it was not necessary.
No wait time and its my design.
And by not doubling up the buckle area I can swap buckles as often as I want.
