Your Online Source For Galco Belts,
Galco Pistol Belts and Galco Leather Belts.
Unlike typical pants belts,
all Galco holster belts are designed to carry the weight of a handgun.
Galco belts are built for comfort, utility, and action, and will retain
their handsome good looks through years of honest use.
Galco use's only top-quality leather for Galco belts: premium grade, full-grain,
vegetable-tanned steer hide, grown and tanned in the USA. Vegetable tanning
involves only non-hazardous organic materials, unlike other methods that
use heavy metals.
Both dress and casual Galco holster belts are individually handmade. We
align the grain of the top and lining of each belt. The stitching adds
dimensional stability and has the distinctive look achieved only by skilled
operators on harness stitch machines almost 100 years old. We step-skive
the edges of our dress belts, and the edges of all Galco belts are dyed,
burnished, polished, and sealed to a luster that exemplifies Galco’s craftsmanship.
Most belts curve to fit your body contour over time, but a belt engineered
to be stable under a handgun’s weight resists molding. Galco’s Contoured
belts are the ultimate solution. They are cut on a full contour, requiring
more leather and labor, but for those who want stability plus immediate
comfort and fit, it’s worth it.
Galco’s famous tan color is achieved by carefully hand-rubbing oil into
the leather to bring out the optimum color and luminosity of each belt.
For other belt colors, Galco avoids painted coatings or heavily pigmented
dyes. Instead, Galco use's aniline dyes, which penetrate the leather’s
grain, imparting deep, transparent, permanent hues that resist abrasion
without obscuring the natural variegations that make each piece of unpainted
leather truly unique.
Galco fits solid cast brass buckles to its belts for superior durability,
precision fit, and classic style. Some buckles are nickel plated to provide
a contemporary look.
Galco’s belt sizes are measured from the tip of the buckle tongue to the
center hole of the belt. The correct size is usually about two inches
larger than your pants size. For perfect fit, measure an existing belt
of similar width from the hole you use to the tip of the buckle’s tongue.
