Yet another belt thread
Hello, I need cooler belts, hoping to just see what brands and varieties people like, bit of inspo searching bit of help finding picks.
Sweet spot cost wise would be $100 but would stretch up to $200 if I like a lot, or pay less if the value is good.
Specifically not looking for western type belts, if it has detailing or designs on it I really prefer more minimal over maximal. I'm also opinionated about the buckle, if it's gonna be chunky I really want it to be boxy, don't like when buckles curve out really big like is typically seen on three piece belts. I do like the hardware of three piece belts though, esp the metal tip. Some inspo attached.
Specific things I'm looking for rn are braided belt, super bright brown tan belt, any belt with chunky boxy buckles, maybe thin belts???

but the rest of these with the stitching on the sides, kinda iffy for me
and this def not my thing
For inspo/an option, I've been into square plaque buckles and belts that are long and drapey
I have seen these occasionally and I'm also drawn to them I think
oh fuck 3 and 4 with that detailing
killer
I have one from taiga takahashi that is absolutely perfect in my eyes
If I'm counting right those are the T.T. ones
They're expensive but there are cool options in this style from buck Mason, beams, and other places too that are more in the price range you listed
Just another option because I didn't see any like it in the thread!
no yeah thank you those are going on my "some day" list cuz I love that fuckin buckle a lot
Buck Mason has an engine turned one that is cool too but yeah the T.T. ones are my favorite
I do also like that buckle but the croc texture I don't think is my thing
I get it yeah
