Any local saddle shop also makes belts.
Any belt they make will be as stiff or stiffer than anything you'll buy from a leather 'gunbelt' maker.
They can do any width, taper, hole spacing, tooling, whatever.

Well. There's saddle shops all over Texas and lots of younger people doing impressive stuff with leather these days.
Custom leather goods are far from uncommon. I thought it was about the same everywhere.
Milt Sparks has a history of satisfactory belts. I've had a couple, and they did a good job.

(The above is in the past tense because I'm slowly changing to web belts. They seem to do a good job of AIWB'ing
and some of them have a buckle that prints less.)
I have an old (going on 20yrs) Ross Gunleather belt in black and a Filson Double Belt in brown that are daily wear depending on what shoes I'm wearing. I carry IWB Strongside and have come to prefer the leather belts for comfort over something like my Wilderness 5 stitch Instructor because they give just a little more when bending or sitting.

Wow, thanks everyone for all the great suggestions!
I know it’s not leather but I’ll second the recommendation of the Volund Gearworks G-hook belt. I’ve got one and love it as it offers a lot of support, I just can’t wear it when at work because I’m sitting down all day for my job driving and if my physique was a little more “desirable”, I’d still be using it everyday and be carrying concealed OWB instead of pocket carrying but the belt is just too uncomfortable for when you have a gut and are seated all day long but it’s a good belt. Nice and stiff.
