Men's Belts?

[awa54]

Wide belts, watch bands and wrist bands without a watch, in black leather and sporting a double row of holes were definitely a thing in the mid to late 70s as I recall.

Nothing inherently wrong with that style, I just didn't love it then and had no choice but to wear it...

I was gonna post the same thing about the wrist bands too! I remember those pretty well - at least in '77 - although I was 5 & in Kindergarten, I remember very well our Kindergarten teachers Asst.'s son came by one day to see his mom for whatever reason he came in the class & I remember well, Mrs. Hoilman introducing him to the class......Lol, for whatever reason I remember that big wide leather belt with double holes and big wide leather wrist band that looked just like the belt.....man, ....I thought to my little self, "hot dam"! Or more likely, "wow" - I gotta have my little self one of them big leather wristbands with double holes!! ......FYI, it never happened

I actually appreciate your input and learning about the style and what era they come from. I actually want to thank you for the history lesson.
I feel the same distaste about Rustler jeans my grandmother ordered got from KMart n the early 1980's. The hip kids wore Guess and Levis. I was stuck with the $5 Rustlers.
Growing up in West Virginia. The only thing about belts I remember was leather with huge buckles with marlboro, Jack Daniels, or Red Man tobacco logos.

Haha! Nowadays, the leather is the underwear, the wristband is a tattoo, and the double holes are in the nose and tongue.

I wear it at work, with shorts during the summer, and on hiking trips.

Thanks for the reminder about Bison. I've had one of theirs for a while... a nice looking lightweight that I use for hiking. After seeing your post, I checked their web site and found they were having a sale. I got two belts for me, at eight bucks each, and two collars for the dogs, for six bucks. Smokin' deal.
