leather belts

Hide loops worn

Leather belts are strips of leather worn around the waist to hold up trousers or as a fashion accessory.

The phrase sometimes appears in discussions of corporal punishment, where a belt doubles as an implement for spanking: His father took off his leather belt and gave him a whipping.

Belt quality often distinguishes genuine leather from synthetic alternatives.
