Twice-Buckled Belt

October 11, 2020 By In Women's Belts, Women's Clothes No Comments

First seen in 1983 as the British Regiment Belt, this nifty two-buckle adjustable twill belt was re-introduced as the Twice Buckled Belt with an updated design–the new belt was not adjustable length–and jute material.

From Spring and Summer 1986, a cool belt with a very BR vibe to it. From the catalogue: “Truly a belt that looks good with anything–the only one you’ll need to pack. Natural woven jute belt with leather trim, brass buckles. Two inches wide.”

Robyn's fascination with Banana Republic began in 1984 when her Alaskan adventurer father began buying the clothing and giving her the catalogs. She loved the clothes and as an artist she was drawn to the illustrations. She went on to study illustration at art college in BR's hometown of San Francisco and worked for years as a background artist for animation. She is now based in Oakland, CA as a graphic designer and illustrator with Secret Fan Base . She's been collecting and archiving at Abandoned Republic since 2011.
