Opinions on Belt Design

[cavscout]

The posters who have responded with "plain", are you meaning, no embossing at all or just a simple detailing as Robin described?

Here are 2 more "simple" designs to portay the Saint Andrews Cross.

Still more detailing than has been suggested but I'm just testing the waters.

What about something like:

====x===x===x===x===

or

========x=======

For general day to day wear I also prefer either plain or something simple, but when dressing up I like the detail on the belt. I really like the dogs, I'm quite fond of the zoomorphic knotwork. It reminds me of early Irish manuscripts.

I have a boat load of plain belts. I like the ones that are a little different now that I'm stocked on the plain ones. O'Neille

I really like the plain belt..... It's simple and nice.

I just rec'd a 2.5" belt from cavscout and will post pictures when time allows. It's a REALLY nice piece. Thick, Supple, heavy, smooth, simple, great-smelling..... (I'd better go take a cold shower quick)

I think the belt design sort of depends on the buckle it goes with.

If one has a simple buckle,, then I think a plain style belt looks really good.

If one has a "interesting" [busy/complex] looking buckle then having a lot of detail on the belt seems to flow well...at least to me.

I like the 2 1/4" belts as well.

I like the hounds on a standard size belt. Perhaps one set on either side of the buckle. I guess they might need to be on the sides so they don’t interfere with the holes in the belt.
