Dwight Report post Posted April 30, 2015 You'll have to be more specific, . . . 3 oz will work for some applications, . . . a double 8 oz might be needed in another. Is it for looks alone? Carrying a bunch of stuff on it? Woman? Man? Dress? Utility? May God bless. Dwight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chiefjason Report post Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) The gun belt I'm wearing right now is one layer of about 14-15 oz leather. Works fantastically. But it sure would not work in dress pants. A buddy of mine makes these and got his hands on some crazy thick sides, around 18-19 oz. Problem was, it was larger than most holster belt slots and bigger than any of the clips for IWB holsters. So there is your top range I guess. Edited May 1, 2015 by chiefjason Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
byggyns Report post Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) I you are talking about a rigging belt, tool belt, weight lifting belt, or a westrn style gun belt, then they can be thicker- 16 oz or higher, since you have no belt loops, slots, or clips to deal with. The upper limit for the loops on most jeans & slots / clips on commercial holsters is near 16 oz. Dress pants I think are around 10-12 oz. Lower limit is, I think, 3-4oz and thicker depending on what it will be used for. Edited May 1, 2015 by byggyns Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
