26x1.5 Too Narrow?

I've been slowly working on my bike (from hell it seems, but so far it’s been an interesting learning experience. Anyways, I'm wondering if 1.5 tire is going to just be too narrow to handle a ~360lb rider on brick streets. I was looking at the vittoria randonneur pro tires.

Would a 1.75 or 2.0 be more appropriate? Any other suggestions?

I was hoping to get something durable, rolls decent. The one above has a reflective strip, and I like that idea, but not totally sure its necessary. Would be nice as I will be riding at night.
