Railtek Belts: How all belts should be made.

I have a pet peeve: forgetting my belt. On my new yellow cords that I am wearing today, it is less problematic, but on my suit pants, I feel like a total Gomer. It is also a problem if my pants or shorts are slightly too big and I spend the day fighting to keep them from falling down around my ankles. So like most guys, I wear a belt daily. I currently have 5 belts. They are as follows:

1 black/brown reversible that I leave on the black side and is used strictly for formal affairs.
1 black that, after losing weight, doesn't have enough holes punched in it to provide any value.
1 black belt that I've been wearing since 2007 that works ok but doesn't look all that great.
1 brown belt that I like enough but don't wear very often.

And the last belt is my new Railtek belt. Let's not mince words here: This belt rocks so much that I only wear one of the other four belts if my messy self has misplaced my Railtek belt. The company was recently started by a friend of mine who discovered the belt concept in Ukraine. He finally got enough courage and funds pulled together to quit his day job and start his own belt company. He sent me the belt as a gift and I've been loving it ever since. The look of the black leather is nice. It has a more formal look to it rather than a worn or casual look. This, however, doesn't stop me from wearing it with my very casual jeans and t-shirt look I rock most days.

But as nice as the look is, I don't wear the belt for the look, I wear it primarily for the function. I love the micro-adjustability. The problem with my other belt is that there is one hole that has been used more than others and it is now stretched out. However, depending on the pants I'm wearing or if I just slammed some deep dish pizza, I may be inclined to use another hole on the belt. The problem is that doing so makes the belt jut out weird, since it isn't where I typically wear it. This is not the case with my Railtek belt. If I feel like a need it a hair snugger, I just notch it forward. Big lunch? I notch it back a bit. The belt is terrific.

I think it is hands down the best choice for someone wearing slacks every day. I also think it works great to go casual, as I typically do. It's always cool to support someone following their dreams and not some huge company. Check them out and snag one. Additionally, Railtek will be launching on Kickstarter on November 18th. Check out the teaser video here.

*Oh and one added perk: The wide range of size adjustably makes it a great gift idea because, as long as you have an idea of what size waist the person is that you are giving the belt to, guessing the right size should be a cinch.
