Buckles and Belts
Ting London has what appears to be an awesome way to repurpose and recycle old leather belts.
TING’s luxury leather flooring, is a new re-working of vintage leather belts to create a beautiful, glossy and hardwearing surface. Available by the square foot, the subtly patterned attractive material is also suitable for table and bar tops, walls and feature areas, as well as floors.
Each belt is hand selected to ensure a high grade of leather and then the belts are stripped of their metals, hand cleaned with chemical free substances and prepared for use. The vintage belts for each tile are carefully designed in-house as the colour and patterning on the belts is sensitive to each tile. This means no two tiles will ever be the same.
It’s a classy look that’s super unique (and probably super expensive). At the very least it would make for a cool area rug.
At this point you’ve probably watched enough survival shows to know that 550 Paracord should be a part of your kit when you head out into the wilderness. You can carry it in your bag, tie your shoes with it or, in this case, you can have an entire belt made with it.
Designed to come apart in seconds, this belt can help you be prepared for an emergency survival situation. Wear it hiking, climbing, fishing etc (any time you’ll be outdoors) then simply pull the tab and unravel the belt to have 80+ feet of 550 strength Paracord in hand when you need it. Use it to build a shelter, tie a splint, or take it apart and fish with it! There are so many emergency uses for paracord.
Comes in both buckle and side-release buckle versions.

I don’t think wearing a shirt that says “In case of emergency, remove pants” will go over very well, but at least those pants will be held up with a nice-looking, recycled, fire hose belt.

The Grab-It Pack gadget holster has been updated for 2011 with stronger straps, 1000D Ballistic Nylon construction, a wallet pocket zipper and stronger straps. We got a chance to try it out for ourselves and answer burning questions like “is this better than a fanny pack?”, “Is it better than cargo pants?” and “Will I feel stupid wearing one?” The answer is yes on all three counts.
You think of Obi-Wan Kenobi as being calm, cool, collected and (if you’re a prequel watcher) a bad ass.
But do you know just how prepared he was for any eventuality?
This replica of his Jedi belt is made of highest grade leather and includes an accurate belt buckle, resin Jedi pouches, Jedi food capsules and a Covertec belt clip for attaching your lightsaber.
Jedi food capsules? ::grin:: I wonder what Jedi food capsules include. Can you freeze dry blue milk?

Disney is aiming straight for its core audience with a new line of high end, Tron-themed clothing that includes these stripper heels and the belts and jewelry pictured after the break. Prices on these items range from $90 to $2600.
While everyone may have a gaming system these days, I’m pretty sure that won’t have a shiny, new, solid Sterling Silver NES belt buckle.
Plus, it seems that the gal who made it knows her gaming. The Sterling NES belt buckle is made from 3 ounces of silver, and crafted to match the NES controller specs.
p.s. I had a delightfully evil thought about being able to control a guy with this belt buckle. Is that wrong?

What do you do when you love Star Wars, but you also love wearing belt buckles the size of dinner plates? These lifestyle choices seem to be in conflict with one another, that is unless you pick up the Ralph McQuarrie golden belt buckle pictured here.
