I found this info on the CZ owners forum and ordered one. It is very nice, especially for the price of $25.99. And they always have FREE SHIPPING! (unheard of these days).
Nice solid belt and it holds both my Bersa 380 and my CZ 82 in their Crossbreed holsters without a hitch.
I got the black one, and am about to order a brown too.
Fast shipping and easy to work with too. Good company so far.

Well, you silver-tongued devil, you talked me into one of the black ones. I'll post my thoughts on it when it gets here. certainly looks like a sturdy belt. Stay tuned.

You do realize the Amish will beat you with that belt if you use it carry a gun right? Well, they won't actually beat you, they'll just really, really want to and then feel guilty about it. You're still in for a good shunning though buster! ;D

Now that right there is funny... I don't care who you are!

Nice!
Just remember you can only wear it in candle light.

Nice looking belt. I wish it was 1 3/4" wide, though.
*As a side note, they go all the way up to 80" in the girth application area...and NO, I don't need one that big!!!!!!! ;)

Also be sure a 1/4" thick belt will go through your holster slots.
I have a belt from Dillon that really limits which holsters I can use with it.

Just found a message from them that the belt is on a 2-3 week backorder. :'(

I guess those Amish are slow producing. ;)
I think the ccw community is on to them and are now a hot seller.

If it was a true amish belt it would be blue and made of denim ;D And have a button hole not a buckle.

The post office just delivered an exquisitely executed methodology for keeping trousers and carry piece secure.
In other words, my Amish belt just arrived.
Adding to one's original size is certainly a good idea. It is normal to buy a belt 2" larger than you would buy your trousers, but I wear a 36" trouser which has always meant a 38" belt. This time I went to a 40" on the belt and the fit is just right. I can go up or down a bit in waist size, and this belt should continue to fit well.
As to the belt itself... It's one heavy-duty piece of work. Even the buckle is very well produced. I prefer a "Western" style buckle, but the exchange should be pretty simple as the Amish have installed screws instead of snaps or rivets to secure their choice in buckles.
For the price, it's every bit as heavy-duty as belts I have purchased at much higher prices. Except that I may also want one in brown, I think this may turn out to be the last belt I'll have to buy.
This Rabbit gives a definite "paws up" on first blush on the belt. Things could change if I find it dissolves in perspiration (I do live in Florida, ya' know) but it looks like some very strong bull hide. I think this will turn out to be a very good purchase, indeed.
Thanks, WayniacKT .

I found a guy that makes HQ belts like that at a local gun show. Bought 1 in black and 1 in brown. I shoot competition with a Para P14 and 4 mags loaded to 17 rounds on my belt and they have held up well! He even made one to my specs no extra charge. $30 each which is a good deal.
