Kinda country, kinda rock-and roll, sort of retro in it’s own right too. The Plaque Belt can go very wrong very quickly and it’s not for everyone. But if you keep the size of the buckle under control and limited its use to casual wear, plaque belts can be a great way to revive that tired weekend clothing rut.
Aside from the somewhat expensive J. Crew Belt above, (which you have to admit, it pretty sweet) here’s a few more worth using to keep your pants secure.

It is possible to wear a brass finished plaque belt without looking too much like a mountain man. As long as you don’t wear it with medium blue denim, a buffalo plaid shirt, and Red Wings
It might be tempting to wear something like this with a shirt and tie, or even a suit. But don’t… It’s a bit too trendy for business wear. Keep it to dark denim. And if you need a dress belt, here’s the only one you’ll ever need.
You’ve got to love the dark finish and shape of the buckle on this belt from Express. It’s almost military / special ops looking. Maybe something to wear with gray chinos and a black polo.
It’s always smart to keep logos at arms length, but the Lacoste Crocodile is about as good as it gets. Just don’t start tucking in t-shirts and casual shirts to show it off.
Plus a restock (no sale) of a favorite USA assembled dive watch.
It's nice when a brand warns their customers in advance of raising their prices.
Spring ready sneakers, grooming goods, watches, etc. Saddle up. Amazon's spring sale is on.
New sportcoats. Italian desert boots. J. Crew dips their promo-toes into spring.
From de-scaling irons to shining shoes to smelling coat pits. Let's clean up our act.
New Seikos are on sale, and J. Crew's Suit event is expiring soon.
