Belts and bags

[giovanni]

Hi everyone,

I am brand new, glad I found this nice forum. I was wondering if any of you guys know about this type of belt, which I have never seen before until now.

It is called a Mulholland Field Sport Utility Belt, and I spotted it when buying a briefcase. I think it looks snazzy for weekends with jeans. Does anyone know anything about this type of belt and the company? Would one look ridiculous in a so called field sport utility belt? I am ignorant of their history and possible symbolism.

Also, I ended up buying a Swaine briefcase but was wondering if anyone has the J.W. Hulme overnight bag? If so could you post some pictures of the leather, I read a review of it and was quite impressed.

Thanks all!

No ideas? I was planning on becoming a prolific and very informative poster but that was conditional on getting my belt curiosity satiated..

I am deeply offended.

I don't know what the style is called, but it looks like a cub scout belt, here's one:

I had one almost the same in about 1982.
Nice, simple, practical, rugged design. Buy one!

Thanks for the reply, Metamucil

It certainly does look like a cub scout belt...Now, I am glad I didn't buy one right away. I am a grown man, that would be a tad creepy no?

Thks again!

No not creepy at all, I have my old cub/scout belt it's a BUKTA one from the late 70's , I put on a new strap a couple of years ago and wear it often....Ilike the style of the Mulholland Field Sport Utility Belt however the buckle looks like it's brass plated???

Ilike the snake belt from Old town http://www.old-town.co.uk/products/ties.htm

Just checked the Mulholland and it appears it has a solid brass buckle, hmm I might have room for one more belt!

Thank you esteban, very kind of you to respond.

Yes it does look like it is solid brass...I like it quite a bit because I have anything quite like it.

That type of buckle was common during the US Civil War and was used on Officer's Belts for many years too.
