History Main / TooManyBelts

** Meanwhile, ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' has some insane belts to go with its [[{{Zipperiffic}} disturbing number of zippers]]. Just as an example, [=DiZ=] wears belts on his ''head''; one as a headband, and one as an eyepatch.

* Creator/RobLiefeld loves belts. He loves putting pouches on those belts even more. [[LazyArtist To the point where he doesn't need to draw the belt itself]]. As a result of this and Liefeld's popularity during UsefulNotes/{{the Dark Age|of Comic Books}}, a lot of superhero costumes during this time had a lot of belts and pouches.

* The [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Browne_belt Sam Browne Belt]] is a two-belt system designed to reliably carry and hold swords and sidearms. Ever since its invention in the late 19th century ([[OneArmedWarrior by a one-armed British Indian Army officer who had trouble drawing his sword from an ordinary belt]]), it became incredibly popular with basically every military or paramilitary force in the world, well as a number of nominally civilian organisations ''and'' private citizens who wanted to take advantage of the fact that the belt was quickly becoming synonymous with authority and martial prowess. To this day, Sam Browne Belts are a staple amongst thousands of organisations' parade and working uniforms (and an internationally recognised symbol for customs and other law enforcement agencies), despite the fact that a ''few if any'' of them still utilise them for their original purpose: [[SwordAndGun carrying swords and drawing them single-handedly]].

* WebAnimation/{{hololive}}: holostars ARMIS member Crimzon Ruze wears 42 belts, most of them being decorative.

* ''Manga/{{Drifters}}'': Hirano's next manga doesn't [[IncrediblyLamePun drift]] much away from the style — [[{{Antihero}} Toyohisa Shimazu's]] outfit similarly adds a lot of gratuitous belts to historically red Shimazu armor, and other characters (Octobrists are probably the most guilty here) also love themselves a couple of belts in a strategic place.

* Yuuta of ''Literature/LoveChunibyoAndOtherDelusions'' wears seven belts in his [[OldShame "Dark Flame Master" persona]] besides a normal one — three around each leg, and one on his collar.

* Cammy White as she appears in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterV'' has gained a set of pistol holsters over her traditional LeotardOfPower. The outfit itself is based on her appearance in spinoff game ''VideoGame/CannonSpike'' for the Sega UsefulNotes/DreamCast, minus the rollerblades and sub-machine guns.

* Penance -- the ''ComicBook/GenerationX'' character, not [[ComicBook/CivilWar Bleedball]] -- has an outfit made almost entirely of belts. They might be a part of the body itself, given its [[ThePunishment origin.]]

* ComicBook/GhostRider2099's outfith under his leather jacket was a criss-cross [[http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix3/ghostrider20997.jpg of belts.]]

* A bit of fashion exists for two belts, shown in teen shows like ''Series/WizardsOfWaverlyPlace'' and ''Series/{{Degrassi}}''. The girl wears one belt on her pants in the usual manner, and a second belt over the midriff to adjust the flow of your shirt.

* Ragna The Bloodedge, Sol's SpiritualSuccessor from ''Guilty Gear'''s SpiritualSuccessor ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'', has at least ten belts.

* [[SarcasmMode Famous auteur director]] Creator/TommyWiseau, director of Film/TheRoom is known to wear more than one belt (occasionally asking fans to count them at midnight showings). In Greg Sestero's book he says that Wiseau does it because 'it feels good' and 'keeps his ass up.'

* Yuuta of ''LightNovel/LoveChunibyoAndOtherDelusions'' wears seven belts in his [[OldShame "Dark Flame Master" persona]] besides a normal one — three around each leg, and one on his collar.
