OK, just to satisfy my curiosity, I have a question for the assembled masses.
A couple of local entrepreneurs were on one of the access talks shows I work on, and they had invented the Short Belt. A fairly clever idea where the belt only wraps around 2 close belt loops, then cinches the pants together for a better fit. Nice enough guys, though the web site is pretty cheesy.
What I'm wondering is if this in any way sounds like a good idea to anybody here? It's not something I'd wear, but my sense of fashion is almost non-existent, so I can't go by what I think. Feel free to praise, mock, ignore, whatever. It's not like I'm ever going to see these guys again to pass along any feedback, this is just for my own curiosity's sake like I said.

I have one of those, only I call it a safety pin.
It looks like a pretty dumb idea and if used to actually make your pants tighter would create a bulge that digs in to your skin. It would also mean that if you put it on anything other than the front or back centre, your pants would be skewed and uncomfortable. I suppose you could use one on each side but really?
I like belts and I think they are a pretty important part of an outfit, and stylish to boot. Also those look like those crappy skate belts which are uncomfortable and unfashionable to begin with.
You lose, shortbelt.
Jimor:
Good points about the bunching and skewing. I did get a sense that this was a solution in search of a problem, as most inventions ultimately turn out to be. Still, stranger and more uncomfortable fashion items have become popular, so who knows.

I love their website's claim that "Belts just got Stylish !" - c'mon dudes, belts are one of the single most stylish things ever. Clearly an idea developed by people who have only ever owned shitty belts.
