It goes without saying that every discerning gent should own a decent belt. However, often it’s not the case with the more haphazard of gentlemen substituting the humble belt for lengths of anything they can get their hands on—rope, fishing line, extension cords—and fashioning it into a makeshift trouser-keeper-upperer. It’s just not cricket.
Melbourne’s Phuong & Seb Belt Co. have a range of leather belts and suspenders that hark days of yore, yet are a stylish addition to casual wear or the outfits of the more fashion forward. Belts range from AU$60-90 and can be paired with some suspenders for an additional AU$80. They also take custom orders including personalisation in the form of initial embossing, which is even more reason to trade up from a garden hose.
