I know this is the most random question, but has anybody ever bought an Indy repro gunbelt (NH, Keppler, etc...) for use as a normal belt? I'm actually considering doing this, as I don't envision myself walking around with a holster in plain view anytime soon...

Besides, it would be great for those of us who prefer to go Indy under-cover... That is to say those of us who try to incorporate our 'gear' into our daily lives without trying hard to look like Indy

i used my todd's gunbelt as a regular belt when my NH gunbelt arrived. it was a little large on the last hole because i ordered it big (per the norm).

you're right though castor.....it is a little sneaky to wear this as your gear is incognito....i know exactly what you're thinking

Since my Raiders Gunbelt has the whipholder correctly attached, you would have a REALLY hard time stuffing it through the belt loops.

I was actually going to ask if the whipholder came off on your gunbelt.. because I didn't think so, but then I assumed it did since they were considering it. lol guess you can't actually unscrew it?

I have always used my gunbelts as daily belts and therefore bought them in a smaller size. When I made the gunbelts for sale I offered them two ways: One with Your "normal" waistsize hole as the inner hole, making it suitable for using as a gunbelt when the outer hole was used. Otherwise You could have the middle hole (we used 5 holes in all) as Your everyday-size with the possibility of making it loose fit using the outer hole.

Hope You undertstand what I mean by inner and outer hole )

I use my Indy-gear every day "undercover" as You say it. My Aldens would never give it away unless You meet a fellow Indy-gearhead, the shirt (I use the Wested-shirt's as part of my normal wardrobe) is comfortable and noone knows it origin. The belts come in handy both summer and winter - webbing for dress chinos and gunbelt for jeans.

The jacket goes without saying, it's just part of my "look" )

The bag is practical for the things I bring to work everyday, so actually it would not take more than the Fedora and whip/holster to make the gear complete on many days...

Perhaps You're right. This is what I look like when I go to work (give or take the fedora, gun & whip...):

Yeah, I recently started wearing my gunbelt as my actual belt. I thought it needed a little distressing, and it seemed like the easiest way to start the process.

Does anyone else who does this feel a bit like superman, with his superhero duds on underneath his suit? Guess it's just me then...
