The belt in the above picture is a fake, as Butch and another gentleman made
that belt. The deal was, they would be allowed to view the suit,
inside and out, if they would provide a belt for it. However, they
were only allowed about 5 hours to produce the belt. So, they went
to a store there in Los Angeles, found a bunch of odd and end studs,
and designed this belt. They took it to the gentleman that had
possession of the suit there in Los Angeles, and he gave Butch and
the other gentleman (who worked for Butch at the time) 45 minutes to
examine the suit thoroughly. Butch can attest that this suit is the
real deal.
In fact, Butch tried to tell them about his making the belt for that
“Adonis”
suit, and that the person running the Los Angeles office would vouch
for this, but they wouldn't believe it. He merely asked them to take
that cruddy belt off display, as he was ashamed of it, and told them
he would give them a gold 25th Anniversary belt to display on the
garment. He guessed they thought Butch was trying to pull something. |
