The phrase ‘rule of the thumb’ was used to lay down the maximum thickness of the stick that could be used to beat one’s wife in Ireland. The thickness could not exceed the thumb of the husband. Leather belts were also used as tools of chastisement. Victorian schools witnessed leather belts strapping even in the 1960’s. Thankfully, belts are now used only to hold up the trousers. There is a lot of choice available as far as belts are concerned. If you want quality belts that never go out of fashion, opt for RM Williams and Simon Carter. You will never find yourself wanting in choices as far as belts are concerned.

Some men wear belts while others opt for BELTS, which are simply huge in comparison to ordinary belts. Some primitive urge seems to pull men towards BELTS in the same way men prefer BLONDES. Size is a very important factor for men. This is the reason why men prefer well endowed women. This fascination extends to belts and buckles as well. Such men opt for a ‘well hung’ tie but make sure it does not hide the buckle. A BELT can go along with a formal suit as well. It depends on how you carry it.

A tie is used to bring a sense of order to different pieces of clothes worn by men. A belt performs two functions:

• It frames the clothes you wear and establishes a clear distinction between the upper and the lower part of the body.
• It ensures your trousers do not fall off no matter how loose it may be.

The distinction between the upper and lower body is important because men lack the natural curves that are present in women. They do not need belts for this purpose. However, men do need belts to look good. It fits the waist perfectly and helps the observer understand the physique of the person wearing the belt better. Women too wear belts as it adds a touch of masculinity to their feminine form.

One of the fundamental principles of architectural design is- form follows function. The function of the piece of cloth is more important than its form. Its design and style comes secondary. If you always remember this particular rule, you should do fine when it comes to eliciting appreciation on your choice of clothes.

RM Williams originally made BELTS for the bushman and bush women in the outback. The belts have now found favor in the urban areas and are now available in England as well. Great quality BELTS are available at fantastic prices at a store near you.
