A good gunbelt is absolutely essential to all day comfort when carrying. When you first put on a holster and stick a gun in it, you will think everything is fine. Wear it for 8, 10, 12 or more hours and you will change your mind. It's just not stiff enough to keep the pistol where you want it. It WILL sag and get uncomfortable. If you're not comfortable, many people will abandon carrying because, "it's too much trouble".
A good gunbelt is much stiffer and will keep everything where you want it, after you figure out exactly where it works for you and just how tight you need the belt. A lesser belt will never do the job.
I have several different gunbelts, including the crossbreed I wear almost every day lately.

Assuming that Cross Breed was first to market -
White hat looks like an EXACT copy down to the names
Not a fan of copy cats ....
THe only differentiator is the choices of colored Kydex - which is kinda odd for a concealed IWB holster
And the Guarantee link on the site goes to a broken page ...
Cross Breed now says 8 weeks on the website
"Please allow a minimum of 8 weeks for delivery of orders. Charges for order applied at time of purchase."
Waiting on my 3rd Holster from them ... May try the CompTac next

I did order a white hat OWB, and I like it.
Its 1/2 the price of Crossbreed, and came in about 2-3 weeks.

Not sure who came first, I don't make like to make assumptions either but when I went to the tire store they noticed all the tires were all round, mostly black and some even had white walls, kinda odd for a tire!
I'll pick the ones that arrive in 2 to 3 weeks AND is MADE IN TEXAS!

I have worn my Crossbreed Super Tuck with an XDm pretty much every day for the last 1&1/2 years and it is by far the most comfortable holster I have ever used. Ordered the new appendix carry for my better half and her Ruger SR9c on April 1st. Just hit the 6-week mark. Keeping my fingers crossed so we can retire the Uncle Mike's.

Why anyone orders a Crossbreed is beyond me. I have a Khoster that cost me 42 bucks total and took 10 days from the time I ordered it till it was at my door. My buddy has a Crossbreed and when comparing the two, there is very little difference in terms of quality. Khoster's return policy is better also, you can modify(combat cut)or if you don't like the way it smells they will take it back and give you a full refund.
Why anyone would want to pay double the price plus a 6-8 week lead time does not compute.

For me, it comes down to service. You see and hear about folks in 5 years that the kydex cracks. CB sends you a brand new holster in just a couple days. Want it changed to fit a new gun? It's only a couple bucks and they generally send you a new holster. I paid more and waited for the customer service.
