One buckle. Two straps. Every style.

The Upgrade gives you one buckle and two interchangeable straps in different colors. Keep the same buckle and switch straps depending on the outfit, the mood, or the destination. The mechanism is the same as on board: slide, pull, done. Two routes, one belt.

The Upgrade · strap

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.

Offerte à mon chef pour son départ en retraite

30 ans chez Air France, il a choisi la Transatlantic et la Runway — le premier vol qu'il avait piloté (CDG-JFK) et la piste sur laquelle il a atterri pour son dernier vol. Il a serré la boucle en salle de pot de départ et il a eu les larmes aux yeux. Merci.

Father's Day gift, he loved it

Dad's a retired Delta pilot. I got him navy and black straps with one buckle. He sent me a selfie at Sunday brunch wearing it. First time in 10 years he liked one of my presents.

Two belts, one buckle, genius

The modular system is the real upgrade (pun intended). I can do black on weekdays and red on weekends with the same hardware. Swap takes 15 seconds. Worth every euro.

Groen en grijs dekken bijna alles

Twee kleuren, twee stemmingen. De groene draag ik bij linnen overhemden en een jeans, de grijze onder het colbert. Dezelfde gesp houdt beide — en maakt het wisselen meer een ritueel dan gedoe. Slimste accessoire dat ik dit jaar heb gekocht.

Grün und Grau decken fast alles ab

Zwei Farben, zwei Stimmungen. Das Grüne trag ich zu Leinenhemden und Jeans, das Graue unter dem Sakko. Dieselbe Schnalle hält beide — und macht den Wechsel eher zu einem Ritual als zu einer Hürde. Schlaustes Accessoire, das ich dieses Jahr gekauft habe.

Due fasce, una fibbia, sistema geniale

POLAR nera per l'ufficio durante la settimana, AUSTRAL rossa per il weekend e gli apericena. Stesso meccanismo, due stili completamente diversi. Cambio fascia in dieci secondi. Viaggio molto per lavoro e mi porto dietro una sola fibbia con due fasce arrotolate in valigia, salvo spazio. Consiglio.

Brązowy na lato, czarny na zimę

Jedna klamra, dwie taśmy. Brązowy do lnianych koszul i jasnych chinosów, czarny pod wełniany garnitur. Zmiana zajmuje mniej niż dziesięć sekund. Tak właśnie powinno się podchodzić do rzeczy w szafie — mniej gratów, więcej noszenia.

Bruin voor zomer, zwart voor winter

Eén gesp, twee banden. De bruine bij linnen overhemden en lichte chino, de zwarte onder het wolpak. Wisselen duurt geen tien seconden. Zo zou je over meer dingen in je kast moeten nadenken — minder spullen, meer gebruik.

Castanho para o dia, preto para a noite

Arquiteto, casamentos ao fim de semana, reuniões à segunda. O castanho com chinos e camisa de linho; o preto por baixo de um fato escuro. Mesma fivela, duas vidas — e demora dois segundos a trocar. Vale cada cêntimo.

Un unico modello, due stili

Ho scelto il set intercambiabile “The Upgrade” con le cinghie blu scuro e grigie. Ciò che mi piace di più è la sua semplicità: una sola fibbia, due cinghie, e si ha davvero l'impressione di avere due cinture diverse. È pratico, ben concepito ed evita di accumulare cinture.

Braun für den Sommer, Schwarz für den Winter

Eine Schnalle, zwei Gurtbänder. Das Braune zu Leinen und hellen Chinos, das Schwarze zum Wollanzug. Wechsel dauert keine zehn Sekunden. So müsste man öfter über Accessoires nachdenken — weniger Zeug, mehr Nutzung.

Dos correas, una hebilla, idea brillante

El marrón para el chino beige entre semana, el negro para el vaquero el fin de semana. Cambio de correa en diez segundos. Ahorra dinero, ahorra espacio en el armario, y la hebilla es la misma siempre. Lo recomiendo a todos mis amigos viajeros.

Le système sangle interchangeable est super bien pensé

Offert à mon père pour la fête des pères. Une sangle Polar noire et une Austral rouge sur une seule boucle. Il était sceptique 30 secondes, puis il a compris le concept et il est parti s'habiller deux fois dans la matinée pour essayer les deux. Concept simple, exécution parfaite.

Zieleń i szarość załatwiają prawie wszystko

Dwa kolory, dwa nastroje. Zielony noszę do lnianych koszul i jeansów, szary pod marynarkę. Ta sama klamra trzyma obie taśmy — i sprawia, że zmiana jest bardziej rytuałem niż kombinowaniem. Najsprytniejsze akcesorium, jakie w tym roku kupiłem.

Two colors. One buckle.

The buckle is shared between both straps. Switch in seconds, exactly like on board. The aluminum buckle is built to last through both.

Every combination is yours.

Every color in the collection is available for both straps. Choose any two. Every pairing says something. Make it count.

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. 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. Both straps must be the same width — the buckle is shared.

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. Not as a novelty. Not as a gadget. As a real belt, built to last, worn every day. Wear the plane.

The perfect gift.

Two colors make it personal and thoughtful. Ships in a fabric pouch inspired by business class amenity kits — ready to give, no wrapping needed.

Both straps must be the same width. The buckle is shared.

How does the strap swap work?
Release the buckle from the first strap, clip it onto the second. Two gestures. The same buckle, a different route.
Can I mix an Authentic strap with a Slim strap?
No. Both straps must be the same width. The buckle is designed for one width at a time and cannot be shared across the two formats.
Can I choose two straps in the same color?
Yes, though most people choose two different colors to get the most out of the combination.
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 straps?
Wipe with a damp cloth or hand wash in cold water with mild soap. Air dry flat. Do not machine wash.
