Re: Stiffening leather
wow. I wasn't trying to insult you. But...E.Marquez wrote:A: I don't currently own any belts that have a plastic stiffener sewn in.gemini wrote:A lot of "gun belts" have a kydex or other material sewn between the belt layers
to help stiffen the belt. I think it would be really difficult to re-stiffen a worn out
leather belt. I've worn out a couple of nice gun belts. They got rather flimsy, but,
it took years not 3-6 months to wear them out.
B: I have 3 belts currently, all from names this group would recognize and consider "quality" so Im not asking about some cheepie belt.
C: I believe my belts last so short of a time is my use.. I am VERY active in my work, often sweat soaking though a pair of jeans and several shirts in a day. That belt is soaked in sweat as well...The area most commonly "softened" first is the portion along my back (where sweat runs in quantity) and then on either side of the holster where the bet rides against the pants/body.
A. Good for you.
B. Several quality makers use stiffeners. I have several belts from "name" makers this group would recognize too. I consider none of my belts cheepie.
Some belts are layers stitched together, some only leather, some with a stiffner. Some belts are only one piece of leather and the thickness' will vary.
I never referred to any cheap belt.
C. you work in Texas and think you're the only person that sweats or is active on a daily basis? Really?
Good luck in your quest. I'm done here.

etc
Personal quirk, and I know no one sees the belt but me (concealed carry etc), if I have on
brown boots I wear a brown belt, black shoes or black boots and it's got to be a black belt.
YMMV.
