Mainly used for wool slacks,
marbelt is the ribbon used as the inner lining of pants around the waist.
It is said that
the purpose is to increase the feel of fit when worn
and also to prevent tucked in shirts from riding up.
WTAPS has the brand motto RISE ABOVE
printed onto a ribbon sandwiched with sleek cotton made exclusively
to be used on casual pants made of cottn like the KHAKI.TIGHTs
expressing the WTAPS style.
For the 09 Autumn/Winter season, there will be a few pants appearing spec’ed with marbelt.
Please do take a look.
