belt loop

March 31, 2023

Cutoff golf pants are the new black and nothing holds them up like a Soulrun belt. I like the belt so much that I bought another one. So when I Mr. Rodgers out of my black work cutoff Izods into my blue home cutoff Izods, I’ll have an incredible belt to hold them up and I don’t have to mess around at the switch out.  

 

Almost all of my belts have been ratchet straps or tie downs. Ground scores and hardware stores. I still wear a belt that those guys down at DANK bags made for me from a USPS strap & buckle I found on 4th Avenue years and years ago. When I was a legal messenger frequenting all the courthouses in Seattle I wore a plastic buckled strap so I would not activate the metal detectors I passed through multiple times a day. 

 

Stevil’s AHTBM endorsements of Soulrun got my attention a while back, but the belt didn’t grow on me until it became my everyday work belt. Now it’s my everyday home belt too.  

 

The metal loop on my work belt is for a carabiner full of keys, my backstage pass to the gritty underbelly of a very large public university aka Mr. McFeely on an electric assist bathtub. The pockets on my golf pants must be set-in drop-in style. No slash pockets, no slant pockets, no seam pockets, no pleats, no bullshit.  Good old deep drops to keep that mess of keys from flying around. 

 

All Soulrun belts are shipped at 45” so you can cut them to the length you want. But I don’t cut mine. Which brings me to my recent belt loop invention, a cross section of a 26 x 1.5 tube. It fits perfectly, costs zero dollars and keeps the end of the belt where I want it. For other width belts you can use other width tubes from that pile of blown out tubes sitting in a milkcrate in your garage.  

 

in situ resource utilization brings me joy.
