NEW YORK, Jan. 13 (UPI) -- Not only will the newest belt being sold by a New York company keep your pants tight, but its $18,000 price tag will put a strong grip on your wallet, as well.
The key to the big-bucks leather belt being offered by the men's accessories company Kale Miles is its platinum buckle, the New York Post said Sunday.
With an ounce of platinum currently valued at nearly $1,560, the 7- to 8-ounce buckle easily prices the belt out of most people's range.
But for those interested in looking good no matter the cost, obtaining one of the custom-made belts is pretty simple.
The Post said potential customers just inform the company of their waist size and production begins in Maine. There workers spend a week producing the lavish belt using leather from a special breed of cow and, of course, the costly but likely stylish belt buckle.
