While I think a sturdy, high-quality leather belt (or two, one casual, one dressy) can and should be a staple for most wardrobes, there’s something to be said for a belth that can move with you throughout the day. Having pants and jeans with some stretch in them, you start to realize that, and that’s why I’ve become a fan of what Arcade Belts are producing (seen here and here). If you’re finding yourself moving through some heavier-duty activities, they just introduced a belt for you – the Arcade Hardware Belt.
What is it?
Think of it like a more rugged version of their prior belts. Which isn’t to say that what they’ve made before is flimsy (they aren’t). It’s just that previous belts are more for helping keeping your pants and shorts up while you move throughout your day or out on the hiking trail, for instance. With the Arcade Hardware Belt, they’ve made the belt out of a sturdier woven material (their proven yarns plus industrial rubber), which means it’s going to be more abrasion resistant as you lean up against a work bench, as well as be able to handle if you’re hanging things off of the belt to get through your work day.
Is it just for those in the trades?
Well, while that’s who it’s aimed for, the answer is no, of course it isn’t. Us weekend warrior types could have long days of yardwork ahead of us, and that’s where the Arcade Hardware Belt would come in handy. Or, you know, if your camping and hiking has you scrambling up rocks or between trees, again, this is a heavier-duty belt that should hold up quite nicely.
How can I get one?
If you want an Arcade Hardware Belt, it’s easy-peasy. They’re available in five colors right now, each for $39.95, and they’re available directly from arcadebelts.com
