A belt that is $93 - like the OTHER double RL belts I've owned have literally lasted 15 years. So consider their shelf life - and for me - I like a more weathered look - so it's hard for me to find a Perry Ellis belt I like for $19.99.
The belts on the rack today are absolutely horrible - It takes a dedicated discrete web search to find any - Or if you're fortunate enough for your local Polo store to have a Double RL wing in their store.
Trust me the extra costs mean extra life span. Ask Vailpass.
I bet you could get a good long lasting belt for $30-40. [Reply]

I was actually asking because it looks like something the local amish kid knocks out for ~15 bucks and the weathering is an extra $10. He'd probably stamp or burn whatever initials you want in it for $2.
His saddles sell for a shit tons of money and he makes custom belts, suspenders, straps, strips, and numerous other easy shit with his scraps. [Reply]

That's a very cool local find. Style plus quality is a win. If I were in your position I'd capitalize, especially because it's unique. Doesn't change Red's position any, but makes yours enviable... [Reply]

If you could find an Amish group willing to make me a belt that looked like that - I guarantee him a purchase by me. [Reply]
I don't give a rats ass about the brand - just so happens RL has made the only ones I've found that I like - I literally can pick out a car faster than a belt of a ball cap. I've been buying a bunch of vintage NEW tees that are 50/50 cotton to poly. Very thin and fit very nicely - If anyone is interested I can share the seller on ebay - those TOO aren't cheap though - they're about $22 each but they're from the seventies and they're new - been in storage. Clay I know you like tees but you're cheap - however if you ARE interested - just let me know. [Reply]

Got enough t-shirts. Old Navy sells great ones. [Reply]

I liked Old Navy for about two months when they first started out. But I really can't stand that store. It's fine if that's what you like but their shit just sucks IMO. [Reply]

I'm into paying the least I need to for causal dress but those guys just quit trying. Couple that with the girls wanting a clean trim down under, casual fashion is demanding... [Reply]
