The belts listed in this section were made from two layers of PVC welded together along the edges. The weld may be straight along the edge, or often embellished to look like stitching. The top layer is typically thicker than the lining one that sometimes has a velvet surface, perhaps to look and feel more like leather. Some belts may have a thinner top layer, though, such as the wide shiny red one shown further down.
Most has the typical PVC covered metal buckle that could take many forms. The pins are sometimes covered with PVC which may reduce the stress on the edges of the holes. After some use, the cover often breaks or slides off the pin, however, this is visible in some of the pictures.
