Chasing the Fab Four across the globe was hungry work — good thing the Beatle Belt was there to cinch up those suddenly-roomy trousers. Dame Belt & Bag, Seltaeb’s third licensee, ran through a surprising range of designs — soft black leather with metal medallions, plastic-and-brass loop belts, cord versions with vinyl or silhouette medallions, even vinyl belts in red and blue with the Fab Four’s faces on the buckle.

NEMS-licensed scarves from Durlacher & Company came in silk (26½" square, fringed, with headshots and song titles like "I Saw Her Standing There") and a 27" all-over design with facsimile autographs and "Beatles" record graphics. Dame Belt & Bag offered a triangular cloth version marketed as an "Official Headband," with leather ties and faces in various colors. Genuine originals have white backgrounds and fringe trim; many reproductions lack both.
