Been using a galco belt while waiting on my Beltman black elephant. Sorry the pics don't do it justice but had to post. Jim did an incredible job!

Looks great! The belts I have from Beltman are the best ones I have.

Very nice belt. Elephant hide is one tough hide.

Wow, that belt is gorgeous!
I thought I had a gun belt that'd keep me happy forever, but now I have "Belt Envy".
So, thanks.
Now, I'll be looking into buying me an Elephant Gun Belt.

Thanks. Very well made belt. I'm discovering you can never have enough pistols, holsters, or belts. I'm beginning to understand my wife's closet

I can't remember how long it took for mine, but I have been wearing them with my suits now for 8 years.

Did you get the bullhide or elephant? Also, 1.25" or 1.5"?

1.5 bullhide. I wished I could afford one of the fancy ones.

Just got mine yesterday. 4 weeks, 1 1/2 " bull hide.

Jim said it took a little longer because of the wait on the elephant hide. I'm looking at it as a value / cost decision. Bought the galco for $79 and it is already warping after 4 weeks. From the look and feel of the Beltman elephant I'm thinking it will last at least as long as what carlson1 has experienced - a little less than 3x upfront cost but will not have to buy a new one every year because it loses it shape and stiffness.

Depending what your age is, it may last you a lifetime. Elephant hide is awesome. You did well.
