Three routes. One decision.

The First gives you three complete belts in three colors from the collection. Three buckles, three straps, three routes — each one a complete belt in its own right. Rotate depending on the outfit, the day, or the destination. The full range of the collection, assembled around the person who wears it.

The First · trois ceintures alignées

The aircraft seatbelt.
Resized for your pants.

It started with one belt almost nobody notices. The one in front of you on every flight. We kept the design, kept the spirit, and adapted it to the place you actually wear a belt.

We just resized the webbing for trouser loops and switched the buckle for a lightweight aluminum one, made for daily wear.

Designed in Paris since 2012.

The gift for aviation fans that really made an impression

I was looking for a useful gift, but not something run-of-the-mill. Something that could be worn often, with a real story behind it. Fly-Belts checked all those boxes: a belt is a simple item, but the buckle instantly gives it a story. The presentation was elegant, so I didn’t need to add much before giving it. When it was opened, it was the aviation detail that really brought a smile. It wasn’t a spectacular gift, but a personal, well-chosen one, with that little element of surprise we always hope for. A great idea if you’re looking for a slightly different gift for aviation enthusiasts. It’s a gesture that seems simple, but shows that you really put thought into it.

Achetée pour le concept, gardée pour le quotidien

Au départ, j’ai commandé par curiosité. L’idée de porter une boucle inspirée de l’aviation m’a plu tout de suite, mais je ne savais pas si j’allais vraiment l’utiliser souvent. Finalement, c’est devenu l’une de mes ceintures les plus portées. Elle est originale, mais pas compliquée à assortir. La boucle donne du caractère, la sangle reste confortable, et l’ensemble paraît solide. C’est exactement le genre d’achat qu’on fait pour l’idée, puis qu’on garde parce que le produit fonctionne vraiment.

Um presente diferente

Encomendei-a para o aniversário do meu marido. Ele gosta de objetos simples, bem feitos e com um toque original. Ele reconheceu a fivela imediatamente. Entrega rápida em Portugal, nada a apontar.

Een typisch detail voor reizigers

Ik reis vaak voor mijn werk naar verschillende landen, en ik draag graag accessoires die iets van die levensstijl uitstralen. Deze riem doet precies dat: hij blijft elegant, maar de gesp geeft hem meteen een meer internationale uitstraling.

Lepsze niż pamiątka z lotniska

Lubię przedmioty związane z podróżami, ale nie gadżety kupowane w sklepach wolnocłowych. Ten jest o wiele bardziej subtelny: nawiązuje do świata lotnictwa, ale jest to prawdziwy pasek, który mogę nosić na co dzień.

Sehr schöne Verarbeitung

Auf den Fotos gefiel er mir schon, aber in Natura sieht der Gürtel noch besser aus. Nichts wirkt billig oder schlampig. Die Nähte sind sauber, der Riemen ist präzise geschnitten, und die polierte Metallschnalle funktioniert einwandfrei.

Una pequeña colección de un solo golpe

El conjunto «The First», compuesto por tres cinturones, da inmediatamente la sensación de tener una colección completa. Los tres colores combinan muy bien entre sí, y cada uno tiene su momento. No es solo un cinturón más: es una auténtica opción, con varios estilos posibles desde el primer momento.

Toujours aussi propre après plusieurs semaines d'utilisation

Je voulais attendre avant de laisser un avis. Après plusieurs semaines d’utilisation, la sangle n’a pas bougé et la boucle ferme toujours aussi bien. C’est devenu une ceinture que je prends sans réfléchir et que je porte plus souvent que prévu.

The color is easy to match

I was worried that the “Transatlantic” navy blue might be too bold, but it actually has quite a deep hue. It goes really well with jeans or dark pants. The buckle adds a unique touch, while the color remains elegant. I wear them at work, and they go perfectly with my outfits.

Cofanetto in regalo per il compleanno di mio padre

Ho ordinato il cofanetto con tre cinture per il 68° compleanno di mio padre. L'idea era quella di offrirgli una vera e propria scelta di colori, piuttosto che un unico modello. L'ordine è arrivato a Milano in pochi giorni, ben imballato. Abbiamo aperto il cofanetto insieme durante il pranzo in famiglia e mio padre ha subito apprezzato il richiamo al mondo dell'aviazione.

Three complete belts.

Unlike The Upgrade, each belt in The First comes with its own buckle. Three independent, fully functional belts. No sharing, no swapping required.

Every color in the collection is available.

Choose any three. There are no wrong combinations, only routes worth wearing.

Adjusts exactly like on board.

Slide the strap through the buckle and pull to tighten. Fits any waist size up to 110 cm continuously.

Built to fit every trouser.

Two widths per belt. Slim (38mm) fits all standard belt loops including dress trousers, chinos and slim jeans. Authentic (48mm) is the exact on-board format, for jeans and cargo pants.

Born in Paris. Built on one obsession.

Fly-Belts was founded in Paris in 2012. The obsession: take the most iconic piece of aviation design and make it genuinely wearable. Wear the plane.

Three pouches. Three gifts.

Each belt ships in its own fabric pouch inspired by business class amenity kits. Keep all three, or split them — each one is gift-ready on its own.

What is The First airplane belt set?
The First is the complete Fly-Belts set: three full belts in three colors of your choice, each with its own aluminum buckle and its own fabric pouch. Each buckle reproduces the exact design of commercial airline seatbelt hardware, cast in aluminum rather than steel. Every airplane seatbelt belt comes in the width you choose, Authentic 48mm or Slim 38mm. Designed in Paris since 2012, with a lifetime buckle warranty and free worldwide shipping from €109.
What is the difference between The First and The Upgrade?
The Upgrade gives you one buckle and two interchangeable straps. The First gives you three complete, independent belts — each with its own buckle. Three routes, fully equipped.
Can I choose three belts in the same color?
Yes. Though most people use The First to build a rotation across three different models.
Can I mix Authentic and Slim widths across the three belts?
Yes. Each belt in The First has its own width selector. You can choose Authentic for one and Slim for the others, or any combination that suits your wardrobe.
Will this fit my trousers?
If you choose Slim (38mm), yes. The Slim fits all standard belt loops including dress trousers, chinos, slim jeans, and most jeans. If you wear mostly jeans and cargo pants, choose Authentic (48mm).
Is the buckle really from an airplane?
The buckle reproduces the exact design of commercial airline seatbelt hardware, manufactured to the same specifications. It is cast in aluminum rather than steel to keep it light and comfortable for everyday wear.
How do I clean the belts?
Wipe each strap with a damp cloth or hand wash in cold water with mild soap. Air dry flat. Do not machine wash.
