I need a belt...

Kavalree · 10 May 2018 at 21:09

Can you guys help me out please?

I need a new belt... My current belt is showing signs of breaking (It was only cheap, £14).

Problem is, I'm rather large (Or fat, or obese) at a whopping 44" to 46" waist...

I'm only looking for a straight up, plain black belt, that I can wear with everything, issue is, I can't find one in my town that is big enough, or if I do, I break the blasted thing.

I know some of you guys are knowledgable about "fashion" and where to get things, so I turn to you, help me find a belt please guys...

P.S. I'm already on a diet, I've gone from a 48" no belt needed, to a 44" belt needed...

What relevance does that have to this thread?

Those are really cool. I've lost a lot of weight in the last 5 months and I'm about to buy my 3rd belt...tedious! This would solve my problem, but those buckles are horrible.

To bring a sense of inspiration and hope to those that are over weight.

Yeah, ok mate. Consider me "inspired".

I've been buying Milano ones from Amazon lately - they aren't that expensive and I think they've probably cheaped out a bit on the finish used for the buckle but they seem to last long enough - though check the size as some won't fit through the loops in your average plain black trousers, etc. but no problem with any of my jeans.

Made to order? Lead time is 5-6 weeks but the quality is amazing.

Nope, don't buy it. Refrain from unhelpful comments like that in future please!

That's a big tie-wrap! I'd imagine it to be the perfect fit right enough.

These ones certainly look the business, I filled in the form on the right of the page, to personalise a belt, and it totalled £97.50.
That’s not cheap, but if it looks as good on, as it does on the website, it would be worth it.
The snag for me is that I prefer reversible belts, brown or black, to match the shoes I’m wearing, and with lightweight, maybe plastic buckles, don’t like the metal ones, they can be heavy.
When I searched on site for them, the prices edged up to as much as £300 +, so as good as they seem to be, I think I’ll stick to buying a couple in Walmart whenever I’m in the U.S., $24 a pop, but they look okay.
Unless I bought one black and one brown from this site, £200 is better than £280 for one reversible belt.

How much, for a belt??

I bought one for a tenner from TK Maxx and it's been great.

Had it a few years now, but the finish on the buckle has started to go.

Will probably just buy another one from the same place.

I have a few of these in different colours including the carbon fibre one that I got through a kickstarter reward. https://grip6.com/collections/mens-classic-series-belt

The actual belt is a really strong webbing and can be ordered up to 50". The design of the buckle is great though. So easy to put on and off and doesnt slip in the slightest during the day.
