I'm a tactical nylon gun belt fan when I can get away with it, either in Cobra Buckle or Wilderness Instructor belt flavors. But occasionally you have to dress your age and ditch the TAD pants and hoodie and a OD or coyote tan nylon belt won't work. This is the belt for you. I bought mine to wear with nicer outfits when I have to get all clowned up for weddings or other semi-formal events and so far it's been working great. Construction is solid and the belt holds IWB holster in place just as well as its nylon counterparts. And it looks nice while doing so.
