Non–Marking Belt

From the website:

No Exposed Hardware Is Ideal For Craftsmen

Ever have your belt buckle put an ugly mark in a tender mahogany door skin, cabinet panel or car paint?

Aargh!

To solve this problem, we commissioned this rugged, 2–ply, 1-3/8" cowhide Non–Marking Belt.

Instead of a buckle, an easy-to–use hook holds the belt firmly in place.

Craftsmen wear this belt to protect their work.

Belt protects itself — the oil–impregnated bridle leather provides lasting suppleness and tends to make the occasional surface scratch disappear.

For a moment I was all set to headline this post "A belt you can keep on at airport security."

Then I saw the mention of the hook, which I have to believe is made of metal and therefore may set off a metal detector.

If this company thought outside the craftsmen box for a moment and made the hook out of plastic — and who really cares? No one sees it — they could offer it in the New Yorker, in one of those little ads in the back, as an "Airport security–compatible belt" and sell a boatload of them.

There were far more travelers than craftsmen last time I looked. But I digress.

Taking a page from Henry Ford, you can have the belt in any color you like as long as it's brown.
