Belts are essential accessories when wearing a suit, or a nice shirt and pair of pants. But if you’re like me and you don’t dress up often you don’t really need more than one nice belt. And if you have one that can flip from brown to black you’ll never need more than one.

The good: Stylish. Comes in lots of colors to match your favorite black and white photo. Most importantly, unlike all of the other webbing belts I’ve owned, it actually stays tight. Odd buckle system – it’s kind of cool and definitely unique.
The bad: Odd buckle system – it’s not really bad, it just takes a second to figure out. Thin – if you like your belts big and your buckles bigger you won’t like this one. Also, thin the other way. Mine’s already sort of bunching up around some of my belt loops. And finally, very large. I wear 33s and the tail end is over on my hip. There’s a little loop to prevent it from flopping everywhere, though.

This patterened nylon belt is out of this world! Hah. Horrid puns aside, if you’re adverse to wearing bright colors in your shirts or pants, accesories are always a nice way to add some interest to your outfit.

It’s snow time again. The mountains out west are already open, and the east is soon to follow. I don’t know how many people wear belts while boarding, but if you do, this is the belt to buy. It’s got 2 screwdrivers and 3 wrenches built in for your tool pleasure.

In honor of the trip to Yellowstone I just got back from (yes, that’s why I haven’t posted since Wednesday) here’s a Smoky Bear buckle for you. And yes, it is Smoky Bear, not Smoky THE Bear. He gets pretty sensitive about that.
