Deuce Stevens SASS#55996 Posted May 1, 2025 Posted May 1, 2025 Long shot here, looking for a Duke style 2.5” gunbelt that fits a 48”. For clarity it’s the rough out or suede folded belt Ranger style with billets. Let me know what you got and a price. Thank you.

What separates the Duke from the rest is the use of split or suede leather in the main body of the belt vs. standard smooth skirting. The original Duke belt may or may not have been a money belt but current commercial offerings from Kirkpatrick, El Paso etc. are not actual money belts.
Springfield Slim SASS #24733 Posted May 2, 2025 Posted May 2, 2025 OK, money belt style. Mernickle calls it a money belt, even though the end is sewn and you can't use it as a money belt. Most others just call it a John Wayne stye belt. Some sew it up on the bottom, even though John Wayne's was sewn at the top. Many are made from some sort of oil tanned leather to be softer and more comfortable, which is how I made mine, while some use thinner vegetable tanned with the rough side out. You have many choices and shouldn't find it difficult to find what you want.
