Wilderness Tactical Arrived Today

I ordered a 1 3/4 inch black with added 5 stitch original instructor belt. I was previously wearing a pretty good one piece leather belt I bought from a leatherer in Wyoming. Although I am not currently putting a OWB holster on this belt there is something I noticed immediately. Since I can custom fit this belt to my jeans it is incredibly comfortable. I wear my jeans a few sizes big and some are different sizes. Although I have multiple holes in my belt I seem to always land in between holes. The first time I put on this belt I could cinch it up and it was fitted perfectly. Definitely a happy camper. And here is my first emoticon

Thumbs up

I'm not big on belts although the one you selected is among the best out there!

I've used a Wilderness Tactical belt for the past two years. Agreed it is nice to have unlimited fit options. I get my jeans 2" larger in the waist for IWB carry - and it was nice when I had to go to the hospital for some tests (had to leave the gun and holster in the car) that I could take the belt and cinch it up, thus keeping my pants up, too. I am sure the nurses appreciated that!

I never wore a belt until I got a job as an Industrial Mechanic Apprentice, then we wore radios, keys and mini mag lights. It became a habit after that. Now I wear a belt even if my jeans or shorts are snug enough fitting in the waist that I don't need one to keep them up. I feel naked now without one, like something is missing.

I have had my 1.5" instructors belt for a couple of weeks now and I love it. It is a great belt! Now, if my Beltman belt would hurry up I will be a happy camper.

It's not going to win any beauty pagaents, but I wear mine every day now. I have the 1.75" with the internal plastic stiffener, which I highly recommend for a large full size metal gun.

I've had the 1.5" 5 stitch for about 7 months now. I no longer wear any other belts. This one is my favorite. Especially since I've been on a diet and have lost 15 pounds. It's nice to have the infinite adjustability. I think the next one I order will have the plastic insert for just a bit more stiffness.

I had mine for... I am guessing 6-7 years now. Yes, the same one. Very well done and confy. Keep in your memory banks that when the velcro finally quits, you can contact The Wilderness and have it replaced. They charged me only S&H but things may have changed.

I will have to remember that about the velcro replacement. My weight also fluctuates a lot so the adjustability is going to be of great use. I have a Kel Tec P-11 that I carry IWB right now so I didn't think I needed the internal stiffner but I wanted the 1 3/4" because most of the belt clips and slots I see out there are the same 1 3/4". Just waiting on my Supertuck now.
