Lost Worlds removable cross zip belts

[tweedydon]

I assume some of us have these…. Thoughts? Worth the high cost? Anyone have one to part with?

Some people don't like them because they are cotton duck backed rather than double leather thickness or single thick layer...

I have many cross zip belts, some single layer thick leather, some double layer thin leather and the LW leather + duck ones, and i have to say that in use the LW is my favourite because of how unobtrusive it is.

I have to agree with @Carlos840 here. At first I was a little bummed, since I expected a heavy buckle and double horsehide leather, and a really sturdy belt.

In real life, it’s really unobtrusive, easy to fasten and undo, and the cotton backing keeps it from sliding like the one on my Vanson. I think it’s worth what Stu chargers.

The sliding thing on the Vanson belts is really annoying...
If you wear the jacket with the belt undone you basically have to hold the buckle in your left hand or it will slowly fall down because of the weight of the buckle and the lack of friction from the leather linning.

@tweedydon if you end up going for a full leather belt make sure it has these keepers:

With a leather belt they really help the belt stay in place.

The LW belt has enough friction on the duck side that it doesn't slip under it's own weight.

Thanks so much! Will Stu add those keepers? I’ll ask him, of course, but thought I’d check here first to see if anyone else has had them added by him!

Only thing I’ll add is Stuart’s belt for the Trojan is classy and good looking, including the buckle. And not maxed-out wide like a Vanson belt.

They all have their place of course.

I think he will if you ask, i have some LW belts that have them and some that dont.
The cotton duck backing has enough friction that you don't need them though.

I personally enjoy not having the keepers, it means when not in use i can pull the buckle close to the left loop and have it really out of the way.
If you have the keepers the belt is fixed and you end up with the buckle hanging lower than it would if you had pulled the tail end.
