No Spoiler Rick’s Belt
Anyone able to help try and recreate Rick’s Belt as accurate as possible?
I’ve got a prop 6in Python and figured “fuck it I’ll go the whole belt”
But it’s been a bit hard trying to get or even find what I need especially in Australia.
Any help is appreciated.

I would just look at early 2000s style police equipment belts, you can probably even get a genuine issue one from a military surplus site or something. It may come with a holster but if it doesn't just look up black leather .357 holsters and I guarantee you'll find a matching one. Add the accessories like handcuffs and such and bam. Just my recommendation. Definitely don't drop the money on a custom one if you're not gonna actually use it for carrying a gun.

It looks like some kind of duty belt with a basketweave pattern. Likely a 2.25" wide belt.
The holster is some kind of drop holster it seems.

They ain't changed. It's a leather basket weave belt with keepers, cuff case, key ring. All in silver.

His belt is just a Sam Browne in basketweave. I don’t know the holster for sure but I’d look desantis or Gould and Goodrich you be able to find some old stuff one eBay that would match it. His pouches are almost for sure either desantis or safariland basketweave, it’s all so similar without looking really close it’s hard to tell brand for sure

Rick’s belt deserves its own character arc at this point 😭 Bro survived the apocalypse with more consistency than half the cast.

Most of the belt components are pretty rare as a lot of cosplayers and collectors want them. I’ll list the belt brands for you.
Belt- safety speed holster with silver buckle
Reload pouch- safety speed holster
Cuff case- bianchi #35
Holster- Tex shoemaker 42a
Various beltkeepers- Tex shoemaker
Later seasons knife pouch- Cathey enterprise 9mm mag pouch
There are some decent more available alts out there too that look similar. But these are all of the screen accurate components.
