Does anyone remember wearing Snakebelts as a kid?

Oh Yes!
Usually bought from Wakefield's army stores as I remember..

I remember Rangi Ram, the Indian character played by Michael Bates, in "It aint Half Hot, Mum!" used to have a snake belt round his turban.

OK, where can I get myself some 'Rock On Tommy' braces?:hihi:

my kids have got snake belts for their school trousers as they are easier for the youngest to fasten. I think I got them from Roz`s at the top of Abbey Lane.

Yes, I had my fair share of these.

Not as nice as Funk Belts which were all the rage c. 1980/1. Mine was white and I wore it on our family hols in Florida. Not that I was a fan of any particular jazz funk group (nor was anybody else, really). If you remember, you fed it through a buckle and left a large part of it dangling (ooh err missus).

I believe it's the nearest I ever got to being fashionable.

Funk belts were the coolest of belts! I had loads all in different colours, my fave was a bright yellow one(nice eh?)!:D

I had them as well.

You might be surprised to learn that the snake belt buckle is a very old design, the Saxons and the Romans wore them.

Seeing them, you could mistake them for the schoolboy ones we all wore in the 1950's.

Happy Days!

just got one off ebay for my 3 year old son its fab :hihi:

Had several as the elastic used to perish. Mind you it didn't help the fact we used to fasten them over our shins and use them like catapults to see who could get small stones to go furthest.

Tramlines school supplies sell them on Middlewood Road.

Does anyone remember wearing Snakebelts as a kid?

what ya mean remember I'm still wearing mine ,have they gone out of style ?:|

When I was a little kid I was made to wear "braces" (called suspenders over here). My parents used to say that belts were no good fer keepin yer trousers up. I hated wearing them.

Yeah, snake belts were around in the Great War.

first go out and catch a couple of large Cobra's then give me a call i'll tell you how to skin them

you can still get them 4 kids i saw them in a shop in meadowhell at the weekend ,can't remember which one though and my granddaughter as got 1 with some jeans she has

Yes,I remember the snake belt too. But does anyone remember your mother making button hole type apertures in your shirt,to allow you to wear braces without them being seen. The connecting tabs coming through the apertures in the shirt to fasten to buttons on the trousers. Don't think it caught on much though,too much work involved.
