Talking Just ordered my first Beltman...

And my first real "gunbelt" per se. I read and reread the sizing info and believe I've got the appropriate size. Went with a 1 1/2" Brown with a black square buckle and 7, 3/4" spaced holes . Can't wait to get it. Is there any tips on break-in or anything to expect other than "strap it on and go"?

I just put mine on and went with it.

I love my Beltman belt. I wear it almost every day.

Put it on and go.

You're gonna love your belt!

Don't try to coil it up too tight or fold it too much like a regular belt. It will damage the leather and make it go limp, which is a no-no for a gunbelt.

Nothing out of the ordinary required, as mentioned above. Beltman makes GREAT gun belts, I just ordered myself another one a week ago. I have several different sizes and colors. Of the different brands I've tried, I like his the best.

Best belt out there = The Belt Man!!!

I own a few.
And like any leather product, hit it with some SaddleSoap ever now and then to keep it in good shape!

Congrats! I've heard a lot of good things.

Personally, I'm saving for a Galco belt because I don't have any patience.
