The History of Belts for Men

Throughout history men have worn belts possibly dating back all the way to 3300 BCE. Belts began by serving functions such as carrying swords and tools and soon grew into a symbol of status. Belts have been worn by the average tradesman and the most royal of men as well as Catholic monks and priests. Here we will discuss the belt’s humble beginnings and some of the most notable uses of belts throughout history.

 

It all Started With a String

The first belt was most likely worn for function rather than fashion and was not much more than a string. People needed a way to carry their swords and tools, so they began tying a string around their waist as a solution. It is believed that belts date back to the bronze age and first became popular sometime between the years of 3300 BCE to 1200 BCE. During this era, wearing a belt began as a convenient way to carry necessary items that men would need easy and frequent access to and they also quickly became a part of everyday men’s fashion.

 

In Religion

As belts became an accepted part of culture and fashion, they also became a symbol of status in the Catholic religion. Monks began wearing them in the middle ages and soon Catholic priests also adopted belts into their wardrobe. They were symbolically worn with three knots to signify their vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience.

 

The Romans

The Romans wore belts in combat, but these belts were much more than just a string. These belts, called a balteus, were elaborately decorated to show a man’s status of being a roman soldier. They were adorned with metals and studs and had baltea, or straps, hanging perpendicular from the waist. These belts were also used to carry the soldier’s sword into battle. It is believed that Roman soldiers wore their belts both on and off the battlefield as a symbol of status.

Roman gladiators also wore a special type of belt that was quite different from the Roman soldier’s. These belts were made from leather, very wide, and covered the abdomen and lower stomach. They were worn as a type of protection and were not made to carry swords or weapons.

 

Fashion and Function

Over the years, as belts evolved with society, they became fashionable. While some belts were still functional, others were simply a means to signify status. Throughout the ages, royals, nobles, and religious men wore belts to show who they were, where they came from, and what they stood for.

Belts continued to be worn for functionality by those who needed to hold weapons or tools, but by this time, belts had evolved much further than the string they had started as. Belts were worn by men of all statuses for different reasons and functions. Some were made from leather, while others cloth. Some were decorated with gold and jewels, while others were worn purely for function, especially by the lower classes and tradesmen who needed a convenient place for their tools.

Klik Belt Options for Men

At Klik Belt, we have listened to our customers over the years and have added more sizes, strengths, and have even recently introduced our leather Klik Belt, so you can truly wear a Klik Belt for any occasion. We have a belt for every man, whether you are a backwoods adventurer, a lifetime military man, police officer, or just enjoy quality products that look good. We make the Klik Belts in different widths and offer options such as a built-in hidden pocket or Velcro® inner belt so you can customize your Klik Belt to fit your needs perfectly.  

 

Multiple Sizes

The Klik Belt comes in multiple sizes so there is a belt for everyone, whether you are an avid adventurer, law enforcement, construction worker, or military. We offer both 1.5 inch belts and 1.75 belts so you can choose the belt that will fit your specific needs.

Standard Size: 1.5 Inches

Our standard size Klik Belt is 1.5 inches. This belt comes in one- and two-ply thicknesses so whether you like to wear your Klik Belt for work or play, we have one that will be ideal for your needs.

Wide-Duty Belt: 1.75 Inches

Our wide-duty belt spans 1.75 inches. We chose to make a wider belt because our customers in the AirForce, Marines, and law enforcement asked for it. Our wide belt can be purchased in one-ply or three-ply. This belt gives the wearer extra rigidity and support and yet, remains comfortable.

 

Available in Leather

We have recently introduced our leather Klik Belt for men. This belt is equipped with the same durable Cobra® buckle as all of our other belts. We again listened to our customers as they requested a Klik Belt that they could wear with a suit and tie, to dress up a pair of jeans, and a bit more rigidity for carrying a pistol.

Our leather Klik Belt is made from premium top grain Hermann Oak leather and provides support and rigidity for holsters and concealed carrying. It features double stitching for extra strength and is an ideal belt for any man who wants the durability of the Klik Belt with a bit more style.

 

Velcro® Tail

Klik Belts offers two different Velcro® options to enhance your belt. The first option is to add velcro to the tail of your Klik Belt. This helps keep the tail of your belt in place and out of the way. This is a way to have a built-in option for preventing accidental slippage of the webbing of your belt. We use a mil grade Velcro® hook and loop so it lasts longer and provides a superior grip.

 

Velcro® Inner Belt

The other option is a LEO Velcro® inner belt. This inner belt will make your Klik Belt more stable and is ideal for carrying concealed weapons, knives, or other tools or equipment. A LEO Velcro® inner belt is perfect for police officers, firefights, and paramedics who need to add a bit more stability and strength to their Klik Belt.

 

Hidden Pocket

You can also choose to have a hidden pocket sewn into your Klik Belt. This pocket is ideal for carrying a bit of cash or a key. With the hidden pocket on your Klik Belt, you won’t have to bring your wallet with you everywhere. Simply, put on your belt, place your money and key in the hidden pocket, and head out.

 

Tail Tamers

At Klik Belts, we offer a couple different types of what we like to call tail tamers. We carry an elastic and a rubber version. They are designed to keep the tail of your belt out of the way and tucked in. All of our Klik Belts come with a tail tamer, but we also sell them in three-packs and in multiple colors in case you ever misplace the one that came with your belt.

Once you own a Klik Belt, you will never go back to wearing a regular belt again. The ease of use, durability, and style that a Klik Belt provides is hard to find anywhere else. It is a belt truly built for a man (although we do make them for women too!). We figured that our customers enjoyed our belts so much that we could improve upon a few other items as well. Our accessories are all designed and built with the same quality and care that we take in our belts.

Every man wants a belt that can keep up with their lifestyle, whether that consists of saving lives, protecting our nation, or spending time in the rugged outdoors. We carry Klik Belts for every breed of man. You can wear our belts to work, for a casual outing with friends, or even to a business meeting or suit and tie event with our leather Klik Belt.
