SOLUTIONS: Warped Belts


Stop me if you've heard this one.

I've had this old belt since 2003 when I encountered the double-hole model for the first time and thought it was so cool that I wore it every day to keep my baggy, boot-cut jeans up while I worked on the farm. There's a sharp bend in the leather because every time I've worn it in the past eight years, I've sent it through my belt loops on the left side. Creature of habit, I guess.

Maybe it's because I never spent much time thinking about waist-cinching tips, but I had a facepalm moment the other day when a guy told me he's got an eye-rollingly simple solution for belts that bow and warp: Alternate which side you send through your belt loops. If you usually go left to right, flip the belt over and thread it right to left every other wear.

A basic fix, to be sure. But sometimes you don't think about the most minor problems. Although, perhaps this "problem" doesn't need solving at all. Thoughts, gentlemen and ladies?
