No, that's not the pain of the belt digging in, that's the pain of not being a top revenue earner. Ignore him, get your oversized buckle and display your superiority with pride.

I never actualy considered that he maybe jealous. Almost every belt I was looking on various websites at he found a criticism with it - it was tacky, cheap, to many chavs wearing them or poorly made.

Are you an Asian chav?

No I'm white. I do know these sorts of items are populars with asians and arabs. One of my friends at work who is a very rich, young 'conservative' Indian (his dad is mates with that billionaire who owns the skyscraper in Mumbai) told me to avoid Gucci and go for Salvatore Ferragamo instead. He said looks just as good as gucci and isn't quite as common.
 
I think some people are missing the point of a Gucci belt. It's about taking a nice relaxing train to london then heading to Gucci store on bond street/sloane street and knowing that you doing this because you've made a real professional achievment. Yes £240-£300 is a lot for a belt (and I'm actualy considering buying two) but it's well justified. For most people it wouldn't make much sense but for someone who has worked very, very hard and outperformed the 2nd highest by 70-80% it's a well earned treat.
 
Not trolling. Listened to what people have had to say and watched a few videos on youtube of people buying gucci belts. I fully see the negative association. I'm now getting a burberry and montblanc instead.
 
No this one :-

and/or possibly this :- https://uk.burberry.com/plaque-buckle-1983-checkleather-belt-p40799161


And definitely this :-

https://www.montblanc.com/en-gb/collection/leather/belts/116705-montblanc-belt.html

I thought long and hard and considered the association of gucci. Seeing the sort of people buying gucci belts on youtube made me think twice plus some comments here about going for more subtle, sophisticated look. Don't get me wrong I still like the gucci but going for class instead.

Unless you are a millionaire i see no reason why you would pay 200 quid for a belt it's outrageous. These designers must be laughing all the way to the bank. The only way that sort of price would be justified is if it is unique and a one off.

It's down to priorities and mindset. From my perspective I could say unless you have given up on life I can see no point in watching TV as the 200 hours or so an average person (like most of my collegues) spends a month binge watching the latest several seasons of some mindless enteratinment as it could be better spent on learning a skill.

That is how I spend my spare time and one of the rewards for all the sacrifices is that in a few days I will going to the Montblanc shop like this on Bond Street :-


I can try the various belts on, speak to an extremely nice shop assistant. Pay £200, walk out, grab a few pints round Mayfair go and then do the same with the Burberry shop. I can spend £500-600 on the entire day and not worry as I work hard enough to make sure I always perform day in, day out. And the belts will be a reminder of my hard work.

BTW each montblanc is partly unique as it is cut to size on the spot and you can have your initials engraved if you want it

Sorry for late reply I haven't checked this forum for a while. No I got a Burberry belt instead from the Regents Street store and had an awesome time on the day drinking round Mayfair and met some interesting random people.
