belts with interesting hardware?
I've been on the hunt for a casual black belt for a while, and I'm for something with a little more flare than the standard dress (Meermin) or workwear (Hank's) leather belts often recommended. Particularly I'm interested in good buckles + built in attachment points for keys and lanyards and such.
A couple belts that I like:
- Kolby Brianne: Love the additional d-rings and attachment points. Unfortunately I already bought this belt for my partner and simply can't be matching like that.
- Alyx/Dior: Love the buckles and aesthetics but $$$ and a little too associated w/ terrible hypebeasts
- Bond Hardware: Good overall aesthetic but I'm not sold on the punch-hole closure in place of a buckle on the belt.
Budget is in the $100-$200 dollar range

do you like western styles?
e.g. https://www.matchesfashion.com/us/products/1330005?
also a big fan of these
hole punch closures actually work quite well depending on the leather quality and hardware. i have this rick owens stud belt with the same design as the bond hardware closure and its very sturdy especially considering it has multiple points of attachment compared to one on a traditional belt
honestly my reservations on the hole punch are more w/ aesthetic than function, but that's a great belt
I've been eyeing this one from Needles
