You cheeky cnut!

..in fact i did have a leather belt i got from the vintage shop for a fiver.. fk knows what happened to that? 

I bought some CK chinos from Ryan's Vintage a few months ago for £6.. they're a size 36 and i'm a size 32 but i really like the volume.. they only have small loops hence the need for a slim belt.. i've been wearing an old canvas belt to hold them up which belongs to my missus.. that's 30yrs old so i'm sure this will hold up my pants till i'm old and grey... or older and greyer

That’s a really nice one, love the sepia-tone colouration. I bet it looks really great on.

Some belts have lines parallel to the top and bottom edges- does anyone know what they're called?

Edge creasing / border creasing?

Yeah - just creases

It’s finessing - not difficult to do but these days I’ve found most folk (around these parts) don’t want it. It’s very commonly seen on small leather goods where the edge is heated and creased to give a fine finish near the stitching line
