The 46" Belt

Does such a belt exist? I imagine it does. I was in central Belfast briefly this morning, undertaking some research at the library about the Batt family, of Purdysburn House; subsequently paying a visit to Marks and Spencer in order to buy a belt.

An acquaintance of mine suffered a stroke and is presently recuperating at a residential home. He requires a size 46" belt in order to prevent his trousers from falling down (which actually happened last week!), and advised me that they were available at M&S. He told me they were plastic and cost £3.

I ventured in and found quite a selection of belts, the cheapest being £5, plastic and made in China. No Size 46, though.

Oh well, I shall try elsewhere before reporting back to him! He was adamant that the belt was to be from Marks and Spencer.

you should be able to pick one up at the mens outsize shop at the arches (holywood arches) they do up to 70" if memory serves.

Or form a bit more quality there is high and mighty on howard st

If you look on the M&S website there is a large number of belts listed, from £5 upwards. Most of them stop at 44" waist, but a few include a 43-46" waist - although most of these seem to be out of stock! There is one large belt which starts at a 47" waist; perhaps this would suit.

Many thanks indeed for the suggestions. There's hope yet!

There are a lot of fat buggers here in North America. Must be something in the air :)

If you can't source one in NI, let me know, we can get in contact via email and I can stick one in the post.
