I ordered two Beltman belts back on December 2nd. They arrived today, January 16th. Well worth the wait and some of the best-spent Christmas money ever!

I got the 1-1/4" width, bullhide, velcro insert, seven holes, in black and brown with the nickel buckles.




I thought my old belt was thick...



Like a wet noodle!


Now this is STIFF!



Yes, I am holding it outright just as I am my old belt in the photo above.

It makes such a difference, holding everything up and in place, and really comfortable, too. I recommend at least two for everyone!

More pics later with it on and a couple of carry methods.

Very nice, they're great belts that make a big difference. Worth the cost IMHO.

Question about the 7 hole configuration. How did you choose a size when getting it cut for 7 holes? I mean they're 3/4" apart so did you order to get the sizing 3/4" larger than what you'd get with 5 holes or did you order smaller so the next hole up is 1/4" smaller?

Let me give an example. Wear belt at 37" hole on a standard 5 hole beltman belt. Wear 38" hole when IWB. Did you order 37" so the next hole was 37 3/4"? did you order 38" so you had 37 1/4" at the next hole down from 38"? Did you order 36" so you had 36 3/4" > 37 1/2"?

Basically 38" is a bit loose for OWB but a bit tight for IWB. How should I plan to order if I wanted 7 holes?

Your dilemma is why I wear a wilderness tactical 5 stitch belt :)

I have one and don't like it. Digs into my sides. Leather is much more comfortable on a belt.

I didn't take any of that into consideration. I just ordered an inch larger than the length I needed, 39" for in the waistband, and ordered the 7 holes for more adjustability. I let the Beltman do the rest.

As it sits right now, I use the third hole from the end, which leaves me four more for when I lose a couple inches or more off my gut come spring time.

If you go to the Beltman's Web site, there is a section for frequently asked questions, and he tells all about proper sizing and the difference between 5 holes and 7 holes.

Those are great belts and will do the job for many years.

I have one on order - should be arriving anytime.

I actually need another belt after that, I was planning to see how I liked the first before ordering the second, but given the wait times and rave reviews maybe I'll just go ahead and order the 2nd.
