There are a lot of products that so perfectly epitomize “cool material” they really don’t require much explaining. Giant books of breasts, bacon hot sauce, anything with an engine, you get the idea. Belts generally aren’t on that list (unless you’re Bruce Wayne), but this firehose belt from Elvis & Kresse is a very clear exception. Black firehose gets reclaimed from the original factory and stitched, riveted and detailed into a belt that’s water resistant. It’s a belt that’s made of firehose. The only way it could possibly be any cooler is if it actually shot water.
