RESERVED BELT

REVERSIBLE BELT IN GENUINE COWHIDE WITH OVERSIZED STAINLESS STEEL BUCKLE.

THIS GENDERLESS BELT FEATURES A 14CM CUSTOM BUCKLE ENGRAVED WITH THE WORD “RESERVED” IN A CUSTOM SCRIPT — AN AMBIGUOUS CLAIM OF SPACE, INTIMACY, OR DISTANCE.

A NOD TO RESERVED PLACARDS FOUND IN RESTAURANTS, INSPIRED BY A HALF-JOKING PROMISE BETWEEN LOVERS — TO KEEP A RESERVED SIGN HANDY SO NO ONE ELSE SITS WHERE THEY BELONG. HER SEAT. HIS LAP. A LITTLE CRUDE, ENTIRELY DEVOTED.

ONE SIDE IS BLACK WITH TWO ROWS OF HANDSET STUDS FLANKING THE EDGES. THE OTHER IS RAW OLIVE GREEN, EXPOSED TO REVEAL THE BACKS OF EACH STUD — A DELIBERATE NOD TO PROCESS AND CRAFTSMANSHIP. 

BELT HOLES EXTEND THROUGH THE FULL LENGTH FOR AN ADJUSTABLE FIT ACROSS A RANGE OF BODIES. THE TIP IS TAPERED AND FINISHED WITH A STEEL END CAP, DESIGNED TO LET THE EXCESS STRAP HANG — NOT AS WASTE, BUT AS A FINAL INTENTION TO COMPLETE THE LOOK.

WORN FLIPPED OR EXPOSED, CINCHED OR HANGING — THIS BELT IS AN EXPOSITION ON FUNCTION AND CONTROL.
