My Belt To Go With My Purse And My Boots.

Chestnut brown leather belt with a cordovan red cordoba leather lining.  Hardware from Tandy. 

I designed and made this uni-sex belt to wear in my hip-hugger low rise bell-bottom pants.

My idea was to use something else and other hardware items besides buckles as fastener hardware... for instance a hasp with a snap clip, equestrian hardware for a horsey or mounted regimental feel, or this purse hardware.   Adjustable by the brass snaps in the back.  One hand fingertip operation to open and close the latch to buckle and unbuckle my belt made fastening and unfastening my pants fingertip easy. 

Look!  How charming!  How delightful! The hook in the hole of the clasp almost looks like a Ghurka knife plunging into its sheath as it is thrust into the little hole.

Not for sale.  If the original Marley Hodgson Ghurka bag No. 1 is in the Smithsonian Institution, then maybe my boots, belt, and bag should join them! 

(I am very curious if it is my original bag, which Marley Hodgson had kept, that is in the Smithsonian Institution.)
