Saw this "Smuggler's Belt" on Cool Material.
Neat idea, but $245 for a belt with a hidden compartment? Seriously?
A quick search of Amazon came up with no end of money belts with greater carrying capacity for far, far less.
Oh yes, there's the ones that slip under your pants (making for a really interestingly-awkward show if you're getting cash). There's the nylon ones that look like something out of Boy Scouts. And there's even leather ones (likely made from lower-quality leather).
From what I can tell, they all have greater carrying capacity than the "Smuggler's Belt".
What would make the Smuggler's Belt a thing of pure win would be a zip or velcro pocket along the length of the interior and its clever little pocket near the buckle.
That way, you could squirrel away some bills, ID, keys, or whatever that you'd only need to access in a serious situation while have a quick-access pocket for something like cab fare without looking like you're doing a drunken striptease.
Want to up the awesome factor into orbit? Take inspiration from the 686 Tool Belt (or, better yet, partner with these guys so as not to violate copyrights) and make the buckle a screwdriver/screwdrivers and bottle opener.
If a belt like that didn't sell, that would be the absolute, definitive proof I'd need that:
- We are all in the Twilight Zone (or Purgatory
- The Endtimes are drawing nigh
Wow, I wish I had any craft skills worth a damn.
