belt buckle position and the keepers. Is this correct?

[schitzo]

I bought this belt

I assume the buckle is supposed to go in the centre.

And if it is, then what do you think of these keepers? With the buckle centred they end up either side of the first belt loop. I've never had that before, and I'm wondering if this is correct or if something has gone wrong here. Once the belt is on it obviously makes no difference. The annoyance is when it's removed, as I need to be careful not to rip it out like I normally would as the second keeper gets caught on the trouser belt loop - i.e. I have to take care to push that keeper through the loop first as if I just yanked it out I'd risk pulling the loop off with it

Thanks for any feedback

Interesting scenario,all my belts have a single keeper,are either of them removable?All I really can tell you is that you're wearing it correctly,hopefully someone will have a better idea as what to do.

are either of them removable?.

Nope, they're both fixed

It is sometimes difficult to be both stylish and comfortable.

I see no reason why the buckle needs to be centred.

Your right Baron I know a lot of the cowboy set that wear them to the side but as for a basic buckle like the one pictured not sure if I'd have it on the side?

tell me about it darling! But this is aimed at achieving more of the latter

I tried it with some other jeans and the keepers won't fit under the loop so that is the only way it can be worn. Of course there is no unspoken law on buckle placement, but I just wonder if this is a design flaw. Or are all of these belts like this because that is the way they're intended to be worn? To be honest, I don't know enough about belts to answer

Any idea of brand name of belt,maybe we can do some research and see what we come up with?

If you didn't spend too much for it, take a risk and cut the second loop off ??

Well Boyo, this is the type of 'out of the box' thinking that I'm usually all for. But in this case, if it isn't meant to be like this I reckon a replacement that comes without this issue is preferable. Maybe tannerbates like 'em like this but for me it seems an odd design

If you're one of those denim heads who never wash their selvedge jeans, just leave the belt in

Or maybe it's me who's odd? I haven't decided yet

Schitzo that seems to be the way they make them,but it's not going to take away from the belt if you do remove one,this is why I asked if they were removable at the onset.

I think off center belt buckles are kind of stupid looking (exception being when they are at the side of the hip for riding bikes, so as not to crunch the stomach), but then I'm an army guy, so asymmetry bothers me most of the time.

Looks fine to me (photo) I like how the keepers ended up on either side of the belt loop. Looks smart.

Yea that's the problem he's having G&T some times the keepers won't fit under the belt loops,any suggestions?

 

[Baron Kurtz]

I can't imagine that the belt manufacturer has one particular belt loop placement in mind when they make the belt. Belt loop placement on my various jeans is all over the place … So, not really a design flaw, the loops just happen to meet up with the keepers in your case.

That's the problem he's having Baron but he says the keepers wont fit under some of the belt loops in his jeans,slacks,pants whatever term you want to be able to use the belt?

 

[Baron Kurtz]

by the looks of it, the buckle would only have to be slightly off centre to make it a non-problem.

On that pair of jeans he's OK but he doesn't know what he should do because the keepers are to thick to go through the belt loops on some of his others?
