Here’s a look at how my customers’ purchases are aging over time. Each item will develop its own unique patina depending on how you use it, how often, and what it’s exposed to. That’s the magic of using high-end Full Grain Vegetable Tanned Leather.

The Rough Out Gun Belt is just a slight twist on my classic single layer gun belt design. The rougher inside faces outward giving this belt a unique and more rugged look. It is tough as nails and should handle most user's carry needs. If you don't carry a holster quite as often you may find that this belt is quite comfy as an everyday wear as well. This belt is made using Full-Grain leather sourced from the top tannery in the U.S. (over 150 years old!). Full grain leather is the outermost layer of the cow's hide and has the densest level of fibers, giving it high resistance to stretch and wear. You'll notice the difference as soon as you get your hands on this gun belt, it's in a league of its own. It ages beautifully too - creating a darker patina over time.
I recommend the single layer 1.5 inch gun belts for those that tend to carry medium to light duty guns. They are strong enough to hold up well and as mentioned, you can comfortably wear them when not carrying. If you have a full size weapon and carry often, or tend to carry even more on the belt itself (extra mags, etc), you may want to look at my Double Layer Gun Belts, some of which have the option for a reinforced core.
This single layer gun belt is made so that you can remove or replace the buckle as necessary by unscrewing the two Chicago screws. The backside is stamped with our Maker's mark and a unique and sequential number. You can add your own name or initials too. Every gun belt is made on a per-order basis just for you, right here in my small U.S. workshop. It'll come with a free tin of my shop made conditioner to help keep the fibers happy over its lifetime.
You are supporting a true American small business. Our workshop was founded in the U.S. over a decade ago. We use the highest grade full-grain vegetable tanned leather from the top U.S. Tannery (over 150 years running), as well as buy our supplies from other U.S. businesses. We are proud to be known for our honest American quality.
Cut from one layer of U.S. Full Grain Leather and stitch-free, this is best used for smaller subcompact guns and lighter duty to mid-weight. It’s a very thick belt, around 3 U.S. quarters thick and makes for a great every day belt. This style will not have stitching, and does not have the option for reinforced cores. It features the rough side facing outward and the smooth grain side facing inward.
SIZE:
To get an accurate size measurement use your current belt and place the holster on it in the way you would normally wear it. Note that IWB/concealed holsters typically require a longer belt, so measuring this way will account for that. Then please see the size chart photo for details on how to get your correct belt size by measuring your own belt. Don’t use pants or waist size as it will not work and we cannot exchange or refund for size.
BUCKLE OPTIONS:
All buckles are made of solid brass and have an outer finish of your choice.
PERSONALIZATION:
On this belt personalization will go next to the pre-stamped numbers on the back side of the belt.
Note on the handmade process: Numerous tools and machines are used to make this belt, once in a while there may be the occasional marking on the leather. If it cuts into the leather, I always replace the piece before shipping out.
Discounts: Due to the amount of work required to make this type of belt it may not be eligible for the same discounts as other items in the shop.
