Belt for paperbag pants
Hi, I got some paperbag trousers, here https://discord.com/channels/1116793467654381685/1116800072093532191/1247240687573926010 but the belt seems to have been lost to time. I was wondering if it was worth looking for a contrasting fabric to use instead, and - if so - if you have anything in mind that you think might look good.
Also, happy to hear any recommendations for more traditional belts, since I only have a crappy double sided plasticky one anyway. I was thinking an extra long braided belt or monitaly one could look cool.
Finally, I'm planning on getting them hemmed, and I'm wondering if it's worth it to save the fabric.

Personally I kinda dislike self fabric belts so I’d say it’s not worth to go out of your way to try to make that happen

Thanks, that's a great idea. I've been on the hunt for a skinny belt anyway.
Whew, that's so cool. I was going to say that the snake head seems a little loud for me, but I'm thinking about it..

Probably best only if you want to match your pants
braided belt would be cool with this, plus would transition to cooler weather worn with boots
