Submitted from long-time reader John Grey. This deserved an immediate post:
Here’s a couple of pictures of this Remington Firearms belt. The belt was made by Leatherman LTD, in Essex Ct. I have owned this belt for probably 15+ years. In high school and college, I worked for a family-owned gun shop in Tulsa Oklahoma called Sports World Inc. The owner of the shop was one of Remington’s sales representatives for over 30 years. I found the belt while doing inventory and had to have it! It has been a staple in my wardrobe ever since.
The other needlepoint I’ve worn for about six years is this Smathers and Branson Gosling Rum Belt. This is a fun belt to wear because whenever someone notices what it is I usually get a free dark and stormy. The belt has a lot of sentimental value to me as well, growing up every summer my family and I would go to Bermuda for a week starting when I was in kindergarten till our last time in 2009.
The hurricane flags represent the University of Tulsa because we are the Golden Hurricanes, and I just like Rum!
Well done, John.
Sports world is a great store in Tulsa. The first trip my wife and I made in a while was in May to her parents in Tulsa. My father in law and I went to sports world to check out some 9mms. The lack of any care or concern for corona at all in the store was funny/alarming haha. Good spot though.
That’s because Corona is not an actual issue. Makes me like that store more.
Yeah corona isn’t an issue. It just has killed 200k Americans, more throughout the world, and is a global pandemic. But agree it is not an actual issue and is a hoax/cold/whatever conspiracy theory you want to choose. The doctors must have some crazy kickback to all be lying to us! Thanks for showing us a tough, informed, stable genius of a citizen.
What I love about these pics is the ever-extending cinch marks on the belts- from high school weight, to college weight, to dad waist-line. I can certainly relate.
