A Canadian golf teaching professional has launched a new line of fashion belt buckles that professional golfers on several tours are quickly integrating into their wardrobe.
59 Belts, found at www.59Belts.com, provides golfers with stylish buckles whose design allows them to be interchangeable with a wide variety of belts. The buckles are milled to precise specifications from solid 303 stainless steel plates and other metals. They are engraved with logos and images that create a striking look that perfectly complements the clothing styles popular among today’s professional and amateur golfers.
"My main goal is to create buckles that are visually appealing, user friendly, and unique in design," said Trevor Derrheim the creator of 59 Belts. "What we have allows the user to change belts from different colors as well as different widths with the pinch of a spring clip. The design also helps the buckle maintain a low profile against the body and does away with the fold-over snap belt. In the end this gives a much cleaner look as the belt begins and ends under the buckle."
59 Belts offers a range of images including the Canadian Maple Leaf, the Union Jack, as well as the United States and Korean flags. 59 Belts also offers to create customized designs for clients and will also engrave the back of the pieces to further personalize the buckles.
During this week’s 2007 CN Canadian Women’s Open, several players, including World #1 Lorena Ochoa, and Canadians A.J. Eathorne and Lori Kane, will wear the Maple Leaf design.
Derrheim said he began 59 Belts after noticing a fashion gap created by the growth of new performance styles and fabrics among professional and amateur golfers. "The problem was that you couldn’t, with any fashion sense, wear the cotton-era belt with the fashion-forward micro-fiber pants and shirts favored by today’s players," Derrheim said. "Our buckles solve that problem and offer golfers both style and functionality that fits with their contemporary fashion sense."
Like the rare score of 59 in golf, the buckles designed by 59 Belts are intended to reflect an aggressive attitude and precision style accomplished by only a select few. Starting at $200 US, the buckles will be "as unique as a custom piece of jewelry in both the materials and design" says Derrheim. "They are also versatile enough to be integrated into any golf fashion, to be worn out on the town, with causal business attire, and even with a pair of jeans."
"I want my clients to feel that they are part of a fashion revolution that includes incredible belts that convey the attitude that ‘I’m stylish, I’m a player, and I’m on the cutting edge of high-end fashion’," Derrheim explained. "This is the meaning of my slogan—’59. The Revolution is at Hand.’ These belts and buckles are the real deal, as are the clients who wear them."
In addition to starting 59 Belts, Derrheim is also an accomplished golf instruction professional. Derrheim was trained and certified between 1996-1999 by David Leadbetter. In 1999, he founded his own instruction business, ProMotion Golf, located at Dragon Ridge Country Club in Las Vegas, Nevada. Currently, Derrheim works with numerous top amateurs and professionals. Vegas Golfer Magazine named him "Best Instructor 2006," topping other Las Vegas-based teachers such as Butch Harmon and Mike Davis.
