We have these belts in the shop and I'm not very impressed by them. They seem a little more stiff than most normal leather belts however its not even close to my beltman belt. I too prefer wilderness belts for general purpose carrying; however, when I use leather belts for CCW I go with beltman, its the only leather belt that I've found that even comes close to my CSM belt in stiffness and weight carrying ability.

The wait time on the non stock items can be a bit long but well worth it.
