Default Trouser belt

I took my old timing belt and, with a buckle from ebay, a pop rivet and a bit of work, I've got a trouser belt that will never break.

If it does unexpectedly snap and sometimes they do, your might be caught with your pants down.

Thinking of other ways to make a dirty old belt? I found an old piece of rope and tied it around my pants, the knot was huge so looked cool

I like the timing belt as a trouser belt idea

What kind of buckle did you end up using?
