Galco's Instructors Belt, non-reinforced is 1.5" wide and constructed of Type 13 nylon webbing. It features a drop forged buckle, inspired by the parachute-spec buckle on the 1.75" instructors belt and is finished with Robar Companies' Roguard, an epoxy-finished tip that prevents fraying. The 5-stitch Belt has five independent rows of stitching running the length of the belt. The vertical rigidity created with this sewing method makes it ideal for use with a holster. Horizontal flexibility is maintained when wrapped around the waist.
