We love a good deal on a basic, like this lovely leather belt from Brooks Brothers. (Incidentally, there seem to be a lot of great deals to be had on shoes and accessories at BB right now.)
This belt was $128, now $38 (size M only). Buffalo Thin Belt

$38 from $128 – ooh et la! I do need belts (a casualty of losing weight…) and I like the way this one looks — But I think I’m probably a small not a medium at this point :-(
It’s not difficult to punch holes in belts – I have a tool that I use all the time, because almost all the belts I buy need a few extra holes. Perhaps a tailor or shoe-repair shop could do this for you!
That’s a good idea — I never considered modifying a belt –
And I actually have a couple that are now a couple holes worth of space too big for me — I will be googling “tailor” and “shoe repair” later!
I usually either get them done at the shoe repair – they would do it for free:) ; or if I am too lazy, I poke them myself using a very hot rod that I put on fire, I don’t know if you have those in america, but they are basically barbecue rod but they are made of steel for reuse rather than the single use bamboo ones.
That is a great belt. Very classic. Would buy it if it were in my size…
Ladies – Forgot to post this this morning — As I was watching the Weather Channel this morning the girl had on the “mermaid” jacket that was posted here a couple weeks ago — Took me a few minutes to clue in to where I knew it from, but it was not a good look on her!
She was a fairly classic hourglass shape, but all that extra fabric in the back made her look like she had on a large burlap sack and had cinched it around her waist – added weight and was not chic!
Haha. I guess that confirms my dislike of that jacket!
Ha! That is a hoot. Well, in her defense TV does add 10 lbs. Perhaps its wasn’t the jacket afterall.
Love the belt! That is a great deal for Brooks Brothers, where a pair of socks is typically more than my rent payment.
It definitely was very validating!
Damn… all gone! Great find!
holy cow. $138 is excessive for a belt, but the others on BB site run up to $998! I just dont get that at all. Im not against designer clothes and signiture peices. But a $1000 belt?!
