Carrying cash and worried about pickpockets? Need to smuggle that micro-fiche past those foreign border guards? (oops micro-fiche… am I showing my age?) The Smuggler’s Belt from Barrett Alley may be your friend. It’s made of 10 oz (4 mm) US vegetable-tanned cowhide, 1.25″ (3 cm) wide and hand-cut and sewn in Texas and has an individually hand-forged iron buckle. Each is signed and numbered and has a lifetime guarantee. The hidden pocket measures 3 cm x 9 cm (1″ x 3.5″) and can only be accessed when the belt is removed.
Because each belt is handmade, you can be assured of a perfect fit, though I’m not sure how much money you’ll have left to put in the belt since the cost is $245.

the problem with this design (and many others) is that if the belt is visible so is the overlapped seam that makes it a moneybelt.
