Is Your Gun Belt American Made?
What's the difference and why should you care?
We Pride Ourselves On Being 100% Made In The USA
What does that mean for you?
Better Materials!
A cheap-o belt is usually going to be constructed with the thinnest and cheapest bonded leather they can get their hands on. Bonded leather is usually very thin and made from small scraps of leather which are bonded together.
A lot of the time they sandwich a piece of plastic between two paper-thin sheets of cheap bonded leather to try and give the appearance of a thicker leather belt.
A real gun belt is most likely going to be made of Full Grain Leather which is the strongest and the most expensive type of leather. A good gun belt is going to be at least 3/16" thick, and of course the thicker the leather is the more expensive it is going to be.

Quality Craftsmanship!
If you still aren't convinced of the differences, you will be after you compare the craftsmanship and care that is put into construction a quality gun belt.
The cheap Chinese imported belts are often mass produced in some pretty crummy conditions. The workers are barely paid enough to survive, so naturally they aren't able to put the time and care required into making a high quality product.
I suppose you don't have to choose a belt that is Made in the USA if you don't want to, but at least make sure you get something that is made in a factory where the workers are paid fairly and treated safely. Of course, if you can afford it you should be spending your money in the Land of the Free as often as you can.

What's wrong with a cheap belt?
If you have been considering a gun belt but haven't pulled the trigger yet, you may be wondering why you should spend the extra money on a quality gun belt.
I understand your thought process. I know you can walk into your local Walmart and grab any old belt off the rack for probably about twenty bucks. It might even hold up your pants and your holster for a short time after you buy it, but trust me; that cheap belt isn't going to last.
Admittedly, a purpose-built gun belt is going to cost a bit more than a regular old belt. That is because the leather used to make a gun belt is much more expensive and the skill that goes into crafting a gun belt can't be cheaply reproduced in some Chinese sweat shop.
