    You can even customize the buckle if you want to.
    That must be the difference between us Brits and you Americans

    "cooler"

    I'm with you, Nervous Jock! The "new school" belts just don't do it for me. Now, if I could track down an old school (canvas and brass) version, that'd be one thing. I actually tried to use a "new school" belt but it just didn't feel right, look right, or work right.

    Ah well!

    Old school as it gets.

    These days in America, "old school" does mean traditional, quite frequently---and in a good way.
