Once you get married it can morph into the no hole option:p

I finally broke down and bought a bullhide belt. Its thick, strong, and my 1911 doesn't sag anymore. Expensive, but absolutely worth it. Since I just lost 80 pounds, I had to take the belt to my local cobbler who cut it down for me. If you have your old belts cut, do it from the buckle end. Here's the Bullhide website:

Thanks Lane. I appreciate your insight. My family had horses in high school and college. I understand not wanting to use that.

DaFadda, thanks for the website. Good link.

You ain't kiddin'......a wedding ring and kids can leave a guy with Sally Thumb and her four horny sisters!

Horsehide is hard to beat. I have several belts and just ordered another A&G horsehide today. It's stiffer, shinier and still comfortable. I think it does the best job.

I just got my second belt from AG. Both were bullhide and I'm pleased with them.
The new belt will be really stiff for a good while. The first one lasted three years.

Love both of my A&G bullhide belts.

Bull hide is more expensive...
My first and only bull hide belt was from the beltman....
For the price I paid, I got two cow hide belts from another maker that have held up just as well....
I'll never pay for bull hide again... not worth the cost!

wish I was on your place changing belts due to size (reduction).

Edge, I believe the main difference in Fl weather is the tolerance for moisture. You should consider that, but being stiffer & stronger, I went for the bullhide (or cowhide..trully I did not check gender) both for IWB holster and belt. I don't put that much stress in belts, as I go without them most of the time, but the holster has taken a good amount of sweat, fresh [and occassionally salt water], directly to the leather without much deterioration... 3+ years and counting.

Good point.
