As a belated follow up, I can confirm JFootin's post above.
Initial thoughts on the service behind the
https://www.armourbelts.com/ product.
I’d been procrastinating getting a replacement black leather dress belt, until my department store belt separated into its original two plies. Finally had some time during the Thanksgiving weekend to do a little research. Naturally I poured through the Kahr talk forums. The one post that lead me to my work belt also had positive suggestions for JB’s quality gun belts. Unfortunately, JB retired. Thanks to JFootin’s post, I discovered that JB’s nephew had taken over the business. I put in my order on Sunday. The next day on Monday, I get an email back from Mike Bissel himself informing me that he was running a Cyber Monday sale and would enclose a few bucks back in my order. Double awesome.
Initial thoughts on the product when first received.
Pros:
Thick/sturdy construction should handle its primary function with aplomb.
It’s stylish and will compliment a large range of outfits.
Quality craftsmanship. Bonus - the inside of the belt was personalized with my name.
It’s leather (I’m just not a synthetic person).
Cons:
As a new [sturdy] belt it won’t coil as compactly for travel as my old worn belt. But why would that matter if I’m wearing it?
Postlude: After four months of use, this belt still looks great and feels very solid.
