The quickest way to get laughed out of Savile Row is to ask for a suit with belt loops.
Its not 1953 any more.
It doesn't matter what year it is - the whole point of a suit is an uninterrupted line from top to bottom. Bisecting that line with a belt defeats the object.
I agree that it's become normalised but it's still jarring to the eye and trousers worn with a belt never hang properly - they generally require frequent 'hoisting' to avoid puddling around the ankles.
If you are going to wear a belt stick with a two-piece suit - a three-piece suit with a belt peeking out from under the waistcoat is a dreadful look.
From the mouth of Mr Littman:
Ande given that he was born in 1930, he was very probably below 40 when the film from which the still you have posted was made.
Anyway, he had a belt full of bullets or sovereigns or killer sharks or something like that in From Russia With Love.
I would suggest that if you have puddles around the ankles then whether or not to wear a belt is way down the list of problems.
You can't dismiss him as not a "proper" SR tailor, then use him as an example.
Particularly given that the website is very clear that belt loops are an option they're happy with:

In any case, my point stands. If a pair of trousers has belt loops then you should be wearing a belt with them.
I'd say that makes for an even stronger argument.

Dress down Friday is great, jeans, t-shirt and trainers-wish we could wear what we wanted every day-no clients ever in our building and no customer facing staff, so the dress code is a bit daft-you can wear a polo shirt but I don't like them.

(I'm getting myself a belt with a HUGE chrome buckle with "SAVILLE ROW" written on it) (and rhinestones) (lots of rhinestones)
I don't mind other people wearing them, though I don't understand how they can.
Im also not at all a fan of brogues. Just silly fussy looking things.
By the way, Savile Row only has one L.
Slightly more flattering than a t-shirt for those with a gut.
What part? Got that belt in TK Maxx for £10, bloody bargain. I was wearing my red, white and blue prod shirt today.
Or a casual shirt with the sleeves rolled up.
I think it's the short-sleeves-and-collar thing.
