Safariland/Bianchi Duty Belt Questions

[Crinkel]

I currently have a high gloss buckle-less duty 2.25inch duty belt. I have had this belt since I became an Explorer in 2010. I just recently got my Armed Security License and adding a gun and mag pouch has made my belt uncomfortable.

I am looking for a belt much like the one listed here. I wouldn't even mind this belt so much however it is not offered in high gloss.

Two questions:
1- Do you have any suggestions that are similar to this belt and sold in high gloss?
2- Do you think having a plain leather belt like Safariland sells matched with high gloss accessories would look odd?

Thank you for your time in reading this.

I would suggest that you TRY to match the accessories to the belt itself... basketweave with basketweave, leather with leather, gloss with gloss, etc.

You might need to go up a size to allow spacing for the holster and mag pouches, or it may just be uncomfortable because you aren't used to the weight.
