Horse hide is a denser material and thus it is more abrasion and moisture resistant. Because the leather is denser, this is the stiffest gun belt we make. The internal stiffener would rarely be necessary on a belt that is this stiff already. Horse hide also lends itself to a greater degree of sheen when polished. Many professionals appreciate the look, quality and durability of horse hide.
CONSTRUCTION:
Our horse hide belts are made in the same exacting manner as our other dual layer gun belts; that is, an outer layer of submersion dyed horse hide is mated to an un-dyed layer of 7oz. bull hide (see picture), and stitched together with heavy-duty nylon. The belt is then given an incredibly fine level of edge beveling and polishing, making the dual layer belt look like one piece of leather. The final waxing and hand buffing with lambs wool makes this a belt you will be proud to wear for many years to come!
Horse hide belts are available in five colors. The TOP PICTURE shows the 1.5" width SADDLE TAN with a square brass buckle. Shown L to R in bottom picture: UNDYED NATURAL, BROWN, CORDOVAN, and BLACK.

On May 25th, 2010, we received some really LARGE horse hides. For a limited time (until the supply runs out) we can offer HORSE HIDE belts up to 60". I don't know how long these will last, and I don't know if I can get any more. Everyone who has ever seen these belts agrees that they make an awesome gun belt, so get yours while they last.
All horse belts up to 49" can be ordered on this page through the shopping cart as usual, but horse belts from 50" to 60" MUST be ordered on the TELEPHONE by calling 919-387-1997 because the shopping cart is not set up for those lengths.
REMEMBER: You MUST follow the measuring instructions as pictured in FAQ #2 before you call us to place your order.
