ON THE WEB

OBSESSED IS A STRONG WORD, BUT WEB BELTS ARE WAY ON MY RADAR LATELY. GOOD ONES CAN BE FOUND THRIFTING AND THE IMPATIENT SHOPPERS CAN FIND THEM MADE BY ANDERSON'S AND CLUB MONACO, TO NAME A COUPLE MANUFACTURERS I LIKE.

DRESSING YOUR GATOR

I OWN A COUPLE OF ALLIGATOR BELTS. THEY JUST GET BETTER WITH AGE AND WORK WELL WITH PRETTY MUCH THE WHOLE WARDROBE. THE BELT BUCKLES CAN BE A CHALLENGE. YOU CAN HEAD TO TIFFANY (I DID IN A FLUSH MOMENT) OR BROOKS BROTHERS FOR STERLING, BUT IF YOU DIG DEEP ENOUGH YOU CAN FIND SOME GREAT VINTAGE ONES.

BELTED

MY DAD ALWAYS SEEMED TO HAVE ONE OF THESE STYLE BELTS AROUND HIS WAIST.
IT WAS WORN WITH EVERYTHING FROM DUCK HUNTERS CAMO TO HARRIS TWEED. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A HAND-MADE VERSION FOR SOMETIME. I FOUND THIS ONE AT A"SPORTSMAN'S SHOW" IN ALBANY NY. CUSTOM FITTED ON SITE, THIS BELT IS SINGLE FACED LEATHER, MACHINE STITCHED WITH SOLID BRASS HARDWARE. IT SHOULD LAST A LIFE TIME IN THE FIELD OR DRESSED FOR COCKTAILS.
