Help me pick a belt for my jeans (pics included)

[Liquidus]

I'm looking at picking up a casual belt for my dark Levi 514 jeans. I'll mostly be wearing them with the Loake Kempton pictured here. I know that there's streetwear forum but I think I prefer a more MC way of thinking about jeans.

Here are some choices I'm looking at. Feel free to make your own suggestions but please keep it under $80. Trafalgar Amhearst Belt

Trafalgar Durango Jean Belt

Trafalgar Kittery Leather Casual Belt - Tan

Kittery - Brown

I'm currently leaning towards the Kittery since I like the roller buckle.

The gold buckle seems a little too fancy for jeans - Could you provide a link?

Best option.

I would also check Torino, AE, and http://www.equusleather.co.uk

I find myself reaching for a striped ribbon belt more often than anything else with jeans, including wide casual leather. The one I typically grab is navy with cream stripes, but there is such a huge variety out there.

They're not at all expensive, which is a bonus. I can't seem to find SF's china source though, which makes me sad (high quality unbranded ribbon belts for $10ish, ebay seller that I can't find).

Army web belts can also be interesting too, if that's your style. Surplus stores will charge ya $2 for a belt and 50 cents for a buckle, it's hard to go wrong. You can get buckles in steel, brass or matte black, and the belts, depending on the store, will either come in a shitload of colors or in olive, navy, black or white, as used by the army/navy/ marines, ect. And I challenge you to manage wearing one out. I'm not sure that it's possible.

But if you're set on leather, all the ones you posted look like an appropriate style.

First one is the best color match. That color of brown in the boots is kinda a dark desaturated yellow, as opposed to the others which are notably warmer.

EDIT: Yellower still would be better.

An exact color match is never necessary with brown belt and shoe, and especially not with jeans.

Why do you not get what YOU like - none of us will have to wear it and surely a belt is within your thought capacity?
