help me locate this belt

December 30, 2008 11:28 PM

Can you help me find online a belt (for jeans) i saw on a magazine cover?

Hi,

I supply an uploaded photo. On the buckle, the script reads as either "tough" or "rough". (If you know something similar it is all right too...)

Thanks in advance...

what magazine? If it's a good one it will have the cover picture info on the contents or stockists page.

Couldn't get the photobucket link to work - did a search anyway for tough belts - is this it? Sorry if it's in Chinese -

It's a Chinese brand, apparently (even though watercarrier's link is in Japanese). It's sold on ebay, in black and in green, among other colors. Look at this ebay seller's list.

Now I should really be doing the work that I should be doing. Ask Metafilter: fueled by procrastination.

Just for future reference, even if it's not a fashion magazine there is usually a stylist for the photo shoot who picks out the clothes. For non-fashion mags they are usually credited in the gutter (really small type running vertically along the fold of the magazine) or in the back of the mag. If all else fails you should be able to google/email them and ask.
