Product Description

Price is right, supports holster well, very sturdy.
Very pleased with this find while I was looking for a new gun belt. I carry with an IWB holster so need a pretty sturdy belt. This fits the bill all the way around and I’ve been really impressed with how sturdy and strong it is. The stitching is solid, buckle is nice and sturdy and you can tell there’s a laminate inside the belt, it is solid enough that if I leave the belt on my pants the belt will keep it’s form laying down, so the belt holds up pants even if they’re not being worn. It’s impractical for several reasons, but I can tell already the failure of this belt will be where the buckle tabs into the belt. The reinforcing strip stops before the holes, so the end of the belt is not reinforced. To be fair, most belts I’ve had with reinforced laminates don’t extend into the holes either, but they make up for it by reinforcing the holes somehow, either with grommets or extra stitching or something. This belt looks “normal” so there’s no reinforcing. You can tell by the picture it’s already showing some small amount of stretching and I’ve only had it a few weeks. Time will tell how it looks in a few months.Overall for the price and obvious quality, highly recommended.

I've thought many times about how well this belt has served me and I wanted to finally come back and give it a review to help y'all pick a handsomely sturdy belt; and my remarks to the workmen. I hope every customer can have the experience I've had with this tool.

In the market for a sturdy gun belt, I chose this Aker polymer-backed leather belt. It has been an incredible belt and stood up to many hours of abuse by more forces than should be applied to a belt alone. If kids are strong, they can pull themselves up to climbing all over a person who wears this belt. If their adult can wear it, kids can attach and use it to pull themselves up and stand on it while mounted; 40 lbs and more, it does undoubtedly hold. The most dangerous thing about this belt is that, if you're tied to a moving vehicle by it, it won't break before you've been badly hurt.

I bought it to carry a 9mm SW Shield; it does just that, frequently.

There is little wear to be noticed for the torture tests it has been through on my person; I cannot speak enough about the comfort, look, performance and durability of this master worksmanship. I thank the gentlemen and women who put together a team of people who can serve their customer so well that it comes to mind, more often than not, when I put it on each day.

Thank you Aker Team
Good Luck!

After reading a handful of poor reviews (due to sizing issues) on the Aker B21 belt, I carefully measured a nice name brand belt I wear in accordance with the Aker sizing instructions (measured three times just to make sure and rounded the measurement up) and then measured my actual waist just to make sure the Aker measuring sounded valid. I comfortably wear a 33" waist (without sucking in a big breath putting the waist fastener under high stress) and measured a size 38", according to the Aker sizing method- with the suggested additional 2" for IBW. The belt fits great with (at the 5 o'clock position) and without IBW- I am on the third hole with IBW, so have plenty of room for dinner expansion should the need arise.

The construction of the belt is as advertised, so nothing surprising in the realm of construction. I like the stylish look of the belt, and did not want a belt that looked Rambo or one that looked like a synthetic gun belt. I ordered the black version, but now that I have it I will have to order the tan color as-well.

Wear size 35 inch Wrangler Jeans, so ordered Size 38 Inch Belt. Initially shocked at how short it was, laid side by side my other belts and was same length as them. Initially confused and ready to send back but after actually wearing I hit the second hole from the end comfortably, then while carrying a leather holstered 1.2 inch wide Walther PP - the belt fell right on the center hole: yes that's right, I believe it stretched a bit. After three weeks of wearing, it indeed has stretched to the fourth hole from the end and remains comfortable. I do bounce between the 3rd and 4th holes as on the ranch, I tend to stick gloves under the belt appendix style. The Walther does carry nicely in the hip OWB, or appendix IWB for me. Have had a month now. Also, have stayed with the product buckle so far so good. Minor learning curve for me was to realize I needed to wear the pants a bit higher than have in the past so the hip bones are also then supporting the belt.

Great looking belt, but purchased as gun belt. I have a 34" waist, ordered the 38" belt; with my IWB rig, adjustment is right at the middle hole. Without the rig, one hole tighter. Perfect so far.

Excellent product for the money. I have purchased other holster-type belts for twice the price of this one that did not function as well as this belt. This belt is of well-made quality material and is aesthetically pleasing as well. After reading some other reviews about sizing, I purchased a belt two sizes beyond my pants size. The fit is such that I can carry IWB or OWB having only to adjust the notch placement at the tip of the belt. I have worn it almost daily since I purchased it almost three months ago. It has carried my Sig P229, w/rail light, in a paddle holster and my Sig P224 in both IWB and OWB holsters. Both of these configurations were comfortable and without sagging. I bought the brown one and am so satisfied I’m thinking of getting another one in black.

Today I looked at my purchase history to see about buying another one of these belts - not because the first failed, but because it's still going, it still looks stylish, and since using this belt ever other belt I've tried has annoyed the f out of me.

I love this belt, especially for the price. Excellent quality. Two years in and zero problems.
