HOW TO MAKE AN GENUINE EDDIE BAUER LEATHER BELT:1. Get a cow.
2. Feed it nothing but fish for several months.
3. Set it on fire.
4. Cut a 38" strip off the charred animal (40" if it's right after Christmas) and tie it around your waist.
5. Slump lower in your chair as the people around you wrinkle their noses.
6. Smile! You just saved $50!
7. Nod your head to the Eurotrash beat of Ace of Base.
RATING: 10% right now, but the belt is currently frozen in a sealed bag full of baking soda, and I have high hopes.

intenert jon i thought cantadians only used metric mesurements for there bust size!
We use Imperial for bodily stuff like height and weight, metric for distances, metric for air temperature, Farenheit for water temperature (in swimming pools, etc.) and oven temperature, etc. It's super hard, but fortunately Canada has a robust public education system, having to do largely with the fact that we don't spend 6 months of the year teaching our students how to write multiple choice tests (instead, we teach them how to read contradictory thermometers, and shampoo bottles in French).
I'm really confused about this belt you keep talking about. Why does the belt smell so bad in the first place?
I'm not sure if it was tanned improperly, or if it just absorbed the smell of all the other leather belts around it. Sometimes a really strong leather smell can reach a sort of smoked fish quality that's very unpleasant. I wouldn't mind, except the goddamn thing cost like 3 x as much as the non-stinky belts that I thought about buying.
A google search for "stinky leather" or "stinky belt" reveals that the problem is not uncommon.
Soo...you bought the belt online? Or just didn't notice the smell till later? Why don't you just return it? Why do I care so much?
New leather always smells a little weird--that's why I'm hoping the smell will go away. I can't return it, because the store where I (i.e. my wife) bought it is in maritime Canada, and I'm in the southern United States.
Also, years of tobacco abuse have dulled my sense of smell. I actually smoked a tobacco that smelled like smoked fish for about 2 years.
this is a weird review
i dont know, all that talk of wearinga fish belt just really made me feel weird maybe im coming down iwth something
Well, you have looked better. You should try washing your hair.
John from Canada, another wonderful review! I think that's a great belt, too!
Nice post.!! Personally, I really like the Eddie Bauer leather belt.
Wait, is that my Kaci? Bee?
Not unless your Kaci is a plant.
I guess I should have clicked that link, huh? Should we delete that shit? Also, THIS is why we had the annoying type in letters thing.
