There is one thing I really dislike and that is a belt that looks like it has seen better days,. Belts are a necessity for many men, but they seem to get ratty looking before too long and that drives me to distraction.
Well with Father's Day coming up just around the corner, I thought I would share a great new belt that my husband loves and it looks so good all the time.
This belt has a buckle, but the extra part of the belt that goes through the loops, doesn't have anyholes in it. It is a nice flat piece of leather. What holds it together is the ratchet like buckle.
Let me show you a picture to make you understand this better.
Normally a belt is a long piece of leather that may be tooled or smooth depending on the look you are trying to achieve. There is a buckle with a tongue that goes into a hole on the other side and the belt is tightened to fit comfortably around the waist.
This new "Ratchet" belt that we found has a buckle, but no tongue. The extra portion of belt goes through the buckle and sits like a regular belt around the waist. There are no holes in the belt. There is no tongue on the buckle. So the wear and tear on the belt is minimal.
It also allows you to tighten the belt in smaller increments than the 1 or 1.5 inches between the holes in a regular belt.
It looks neat and tidy all the time. If you go out for dinner and eat just a little too much a quick flick of the wrist will loosen the ratchet belt enough so that you are comfortable at all times. I am impressed with this fashion find for my main squeeze and he really likes it too. Not only is it a great look, but it also comes in so many colors that one may just not be enough. At this price point having more than one is easy.
Talk about a win -win situation. It's affordable, neat, tidy and really looks good. Holding up the pants with ease and style is a great thing.
If you need another suggestion for a Father's Day gift, this just might be it! I would say that every man should have at least one Ratchet Belt in his wardrobe.
I like the neat look and the idea of being able to have a custom fit, instead of having to depend on pre-made holes as in past belts. Thanks for telling me about this new and improved type of belt, Olivia.
ReplyDeleteIt does look a lot nicer than a traditional belt! I am so accustomed to seeing the holes in a belt, I've never really considered how they look. Taking this closer look has made me realize how much I don't like the look of the holes or the distressed look around them. Excellent idea for Father's Day!
ReplyDeleteI bought my husband a belt with a ratchet-style buckle and he loves being able to adjust it to exactly his waist size instead of settling for the nearest sizing hole. Definitely a winning gift idea for Father’s Day!
ReplyDeleteOh this looks like a great idea for a belt - I could use a belt like this as well - great idea and design, love it!
