Belts for your pants
Due to getting older, I no longer have much of a butt (that's a visual you don't need).. My belts are always one notch too loose or one notch too tight. The wifey just bought me a belt from Missionbelts.com, through Amazon. Its a cool ratchet belt with about 32 microadjustments and a release lever, it also has a locking cinch which you can undo to cut off part of the belt length to get a better tail length.
No relationship, but a cool belt nevertheless.

Hugh, you have no butt cuz you work that ass off. I feel naked without a belt, must have on plus it keeps the pants from falling off.

One thing I like about PP is the quality of tips. I'd seen Duluth Trading Company on TV ads, but never gave it any thought until I saw a thread here. Their underwear is $ but I've bought a few and they're worth it.

I have a belt that doesn't have any holes, it's just a sort of weave and you can put the prong through anywhere.

Wilderness belt, which is great for CCW. The heaviest handgun won't make it sag or print.

Mission Belts was a Shark Tank entry. Works similar to a zip tie, but "reversible"

Hugh - glad you got a new nice belt! Where are the pictures / links? You need to get an exercise regiment going. You are losing muscle mass with age - it is normal and starts pretty early, actually - but can be delayed significantly if you work out. A few squats will do wonders here, or even riding a bike!

I've made belts in the past for travel - all plastic so they don't set off metal detectors. I've gotten to like them so much I wear all the time. Go to REI or your favorite outdoor store- get some 3/4" nylon web and a quick release buckle. Stitch it up and you've got an infinitely adjustable belt for less than $10.

Since I operate operationally on operations, I wear an Operator Belt from 5.11.

I used to take a hole punch and make the holes where I wanted.
Lately however, I have given in to the man and the predestined holes seem to work pretty well. Maybe I gained or lost a 1/2 size. Who knows? Last edited by LEAKYSEALS951; 01-14-2016 at 04:35 PM.. |

I've been wearing the same brown leather belt from the Gap for damn near 20 years now. I wear it everyday. I can't wear pants or shorts without a belt. As I get bigger (and sometimes skinnier) I just get out the ole' leather punch and put new holes where I need them.

It has a plastic notched insert on the underside of the belt that the ratchet latches onto.

That is the same setup the Anson belt has. I am telling you, with no ass, you will be hitching up your pants with a belt. Suspenders are the answer my friend, though I don't know if your boss will want you squiring her around with them, so maybe run it by her first.
