I've seen a bunch of people using the "Knight's Knot" half hitch just past the buckle, and seems like a few sculptural bits support this, but what I don't get is why a people would make belts "too long for the waist wearing them" in the first place. What's to gain by that extra leather tail? Phallic image or something?
