Which way do you thread your belt?

[Ri22o]

I was looking at some pictures on here and got curious, and wanted to start my first poll.

Which way do you thread your belt? To the left (anti-clockwise)? Or to the right (clockwise)?

 

[epsylum]

anti-clockwise? Are you British?

We call it counter-clockwise here in the good ole US and A.

 

[Mr. Mysterious]

The Army has pounded into my head that I wear the belt with the excess sticking out to the left.

 

[Bigum1969]

To the left.

 

[Lars]

Only girls thread their belt to the right.

At least that's what I've been told in the past.

Can I get a picture here? What are you guys talking about?

When you thread your belt through the belt loops on your pants which way does it go around your body? e.g. I start from the left side (my left) and work my way around to the right. A normal buckle style belt would have the excess belt sticking out to the left when done.

Yes

I thread mine top to bottom.

I thread mine top to bottom.

I half expected this to read.....

"I start with the middle of the belt in front, and wrap the ends around both directions, then tie them in the front."

That belt is for special occasions.

 

[Fenway]

I'm lost

It is customary for men to thread their belts so it goes under their left arm first. That is how the manufacturers of decorative buckles, the kind with writing and pictures on them, know which way to put the words, so it can be read.

However, if you are using this belt to remember your name, you need it upside down. Then you can tip it up and read it. For that situation, right is right.

Uh.. I've never threaded my belts to the right.
Always to the left.

Buttonholes and zippers for women tend to go the opposite direction. Example: the sweater I'm wearing today has the buttons on the left side and the buttonholes on the right. All our mens' shirts here at TB have the buttons on the right and the holes on the left.

But my belt starts just left of the fastener, wraps around counter-clockwise, and the excess goes to the left.

I thought it depends on wether your right or left handed?

***This much trouble with belts,,, better stay the hell away from suspenders!!!****

 

[lovemywoods]

Excess?

I seem to have less and less 'excess' to the left all the time!

Ah, but which shoulder do you put your suspenders on first?
