         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the belt portion is comprised of multiple layers. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the multiple layers comprise layers of at least two different materials. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein at least one layer of the multiple layers comprises a non-elastic material. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein an innermost layer of the multiple layers comprises a resilient material that is comfortable to be worn against skin. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the tension portion comprises a resilient flexible or semi-flexible material. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the tension portion is located within a gap in one or more layers of the belt portion, bridging the gap in the one or more layers of the belt portion. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the closure portion includes hook and loop fastener material. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more attachment devices include mounting fixtures and releasable fasteners to removeably couple the implement holster to the belt portion. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more attachment devices include hooks or clips for temporarily coupling the belt portion to an article of clothing. 
     
     
         11 . A holster belt assembly, comprising:
 a belt portion arranged to be wrapped around a body portion of a user;   a tension portion coupled to the belt portion and arranged to at least partially flex when the belt portion is wrapped around the user, to provide retention of the belt portion to the user;   a closure portion coupled to at least one end of the belt portion to temporarily couple together the at least one end and another end of the belt portion when the belt portion is wrapped around the user;   one or more attachment devices coupled to the belt portion to couple an implement holster to the belt portion; and   an implement holster coupled to the belt portion via the one or more attachment devices and one or more releasable fasteners.   
     
     
         12 . The holster belt assembly of  claim 11 , wherein the belt portion comprises at least a first portion and a second portion, the first portion being coupled to a first end of the tension portion and the second portion being coupled to a second end of the tension portion. 
     
     
         13 . The holster belt assembly of  claim 12 , wherein the first portion includes the at least one end of the belt portion and the second portion includes the other end of the belt portion. 
     
     
         14 . The holster belt assembly of  claim 11 , wherein the belt portion comprises multiple parallel layers, including an outer layer and an inner layer. 
     
     
         15 . The holster belt assembly of  claim 14 , wherein the outer layer and the inner layer are comprised of different materials. 
     
     
         16 . The holster belt assembly of  claim 14 , wherein the outer layer is comprised of a nylon material and the inner layer is comprised of a neoprene material. 
     
     
         17 . The holster belt assembly of  claim 14 , wherein the closure portion includes a first part coupled to the outer layer at the at least one end of the belt portion and a second part coupled to the inner layer at the other end of the belt portion. 
     
     
         18 . The holster belt assembly of  claim 17 , wherein the first part of the closure portion comprises one of a hook material or a loop material of a hook and loop fastener and the second part of the closure portion comprises the other of the hook material or the loop material of the hook and loop fastener. 
     
     
         19 . The holster belt assembly of  claim 11 , wherein the one or more attachment devices include multiple attachment locations to couple the implement holster to the belt portion, the implement holster adjustable via the multiple attachment locations to change a relative position of the implement holster with respect to the belt portion, including forward, neutral, and reverse carry positions. 
     
     
         20 . A holster belt assembly, comprising:
 a belt portion comprised of multiple parallel layers and arranged to be wrapped around a body portion of a user;   a tension portion coupled within a gap in one or more layers of the belt portion and arranged to flex so as to be under tension when the belt portion is wrapped around the user, to provide retention of the belt portion to the user;   a multi-part closure portion, including a first part coupled to a first end of the belt portion and a second part coupled to a second end of the belt portion, and arranged to temporarily couple together the first end and the second end of the belt portion when the belt portion is wrapped around the user;   one or more attachment devices coupled to the belt portion to couple an implement holster to the belt portion and to temporarily attach the belt portion to an article or garment of the user; and   an implement holster removeably and interchangeably coupled to the belt portion via the one or more attachment devices using one or more releasable fasteners.   
     
     
         21 . The holster belt assembly of  claim 20 , further comprising one or more releasable fasteners arranged to removeably couple one of a multiplicity of covers to the holster in a modular fashion, to carry one of a multiplicity of implements with the holster.
