Interesting Belt Recs
Need actually interesting belts of any material, with a particular focus on belts that are more than just plain leather with a basic buckle, eg: western and tech belts. I have some (cheap) plain leather belts that are working for me right now, and while I may need to upgrade at some point, right now I wanna see more interesting options. I'd probably prefer <$100 but don't let my budget stop you from showing me a cool belt.

Have you looked around the Narragansett Leathers site? They have some western kinda stuff and a decent selection of buckles. Nothing techy ofc
Pelican/hoof pick belts are pretty cool, good shout
Needlepoint belts can be pretty cool if you're into a trad/prep aesthetic; Smathers and Branson (they also do some special pieces for Rowing Blazers) is probably the most popular but there are more makers out there as well, although they are pretty pricy. Surcingle belts fall into a similar look, best you can get is probably Leather Man ltd, which also have some other pretty cool belt styles available for a generally good price
Unsure on his prices but if you're trying to keep the money in the family: https://instagram.com/havensleather?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
Well if tech belts are something you might be interested in: https://system-spaces.com/products/v-buckle-belt-1? The store also sells cobra buckle belts and prices are pretty good, all <$100. These folks make a lot of camera accessories as well.

I typically buy drawstring pants but I'm always interested in less classic belts, so I've noted a few:

not sure if this is the kind of thing you’re looking for, but western belts like this can be had for very cheap on ebay. I think this was less than $20
though I did get a braided belt off ebay that crumbled the second I tried to put it on, so there’s definitely a risk there
Check out double ring belts, especially very long ones
They are absolutely not in the budget, but you said show you cool belts anyway
some really cool options and hand stitching
almost certainly over budget but the snake belt sfc is coming out with 🐍
I have a Geller belt with more minimalist hardware and I love a floppy belt end like that:
Perfect, these are a bunch of awesome recs
Honestly I was spurred by my outfit today having the wrong belt and thinking I need a tech belt but really I need non basic belts in general
That SFC snake belt is so fucking cool
@havensk I approve this message. I have a belt and a wallet from him and he's certified "cool"
cool as a wet cucumber baybee
