shoelace belt appreciation thread....

[Rocuronium]

I really liked the north philly bum story.
I agree that they cut into you. I found myself doing it during a good beltless sessions where I found myself totally on-it except for sweaty pants dragging my ollies down. I would look around the park and find ripped-up shoelaces.
Eventually I got around the diggiing in part by just cinching in adjacent belt loop units around my hips and the front, two at a time; works well, the units are too short for the laces to ride over the edge of the pants.
I saw Kirchart rocking the frontal loop shoelace belt a couple of weeks ago, you can't front on that, except for the weird haircut he had: a floppy fauxhawk mcSqueeb kindathing.

I wear pants that fit.

[Matze]

just leather

[captain sensible]

pants that fit . .

[elliarto]

can someone link me to a shoelace belt please?

or is it literally a shoe lace?

chima ferguson wears 'em aye

[2G]

yes, it is literally just a shoe lace.

[elliarto]

are you serious, or just trying to be a comedian

[kaufmaner]

super serious
you just wrap it around and tie...
i dont really liked them they seem to only work on a very low jeans, normal fit just feels strange

[2G]

are you serious, or just trying to be a comedian

no lies, its just a shoe lace.

[Jackers]

Almost marketed them as belt too, with almost logo at tip. "It just look like shoelaces"  that was funny

If Consolidated were as "core" as they claim they wouldn't be doing shit like that, hmmm nails, coffin, lid. . .

[phraeza]

It's been said but shoelaces work better because you can tie them exactly as tight as you need. No pre-determined holes so if you eat one doughnut you can release the belt accordingly 

[Matze]

xzibit made fun of it in the pimp my ride show

[overdoso]

i use them everyday. works fine for me and its not as bulky as a belt. in no way i can see it as a chain wallet. shoelace belts are efficient.

[art hellman]

it's the sudden influx that i find alarming....and always with brown cords....is brown cord the next blue jean?

yes. no.  well.....

Funny that they have been making those for over 5 years.

[fuckingvegan]

trendy and gay mostly

How can it be trendy when skaters have been doing it since the early 90's?

that's like saying tight pants can't be trendy because there have been some skaters wearing them the whole time....

No that is different, only certain skaters wear tight pants and you would be hard pressed to find me a photo of a skate from 1993 wearing tight pants, but I am sure you could find lots with shoelace belts.

[FFUR YLLIB]

just buy clothes that fuckin fit. i dont even understand the concept of a belt.

[overdoso]

if you dont understand then you are an imbecile.

so are chain wallets if it falls out of your pocket its still securely attached to your belt, like pinning mittens to your jacket

my jeans stretch a little throughout the day, belts are necessary for me

[sleeeping]

which is true of anyone who skates hard enough to sweat.

[Sleazy]

I like them simply because it gives me another option when I get dressed. If I am wearing baggy pants then I use a belt and with fitted pants or cords I usually go with a shoe string. I presonally don't think there is anything wrong with jumping on a trend. I guess there are people out there that kid themselves into thinking there style is 100% their own, I am not one of those people.

now that would be a trend i could really get into

[what an abortion!]

airport security and going to court—metal detectors. Shoelace belts kill it.

[S-Town Holla!]
