* In 2007, [[Kurt Angle]] simultaneously held the TNA heavyweight, X Division, and tag belts <ref>by himself, due to a couple of [[Gimmick Matches]]; Sting won another one to become Angle's partner</ref> and the (IGF) IWGP title. It really ''was'' too many belts - he had to defend all three TNA titles at the next PPV, and lost two of them.
** And he pulled a similar gimmick back in 2000, holding the Intercontinental <ref>North and South America</ref> and European belts, and losing both in a two-fall Triple Threat match against [[Chris Benoit]] and [[Chris Jericho]] <ref>Benoit pinned Jericho for the IC title, then Jericho pinned Benoit for the Euro title</ref>.

* [[Evil Is Cool|Unsurprisingly]], the clothing textures in ''[[City of Villains]]'' include many distinct types of belts, zippers and chains at varying degrees of overkill.

In a truer example, Kratos wears [http://media.animegalleries.net/albums/userpics/19874/con_kratos.jpg?=123 six] (and even more in his [http://lh3.ggpht.com/_aAqDVzo2Cmg/SYsptoud13I/AAAAAAAAB0w/GQt0GvFHmIU/m-Kratos_28.png alternate outfit]).
** In fact, Kratos' alternate outfit has ''so many'' that it became a fandom in-joke that he has [[Why Don't You Marry It|a belt fetish]]. Since Kratos' belts in that outfit are quite clearly patterned after a basic Japanese bondage harness, that's probably ''canon''.

* Historical sword belts and scabbards can often have multiple straps, loops and buckles for comfortable, efficient and non-obtrusive carry. The simplest functional western sword frogs and belts have at least three straps. A belt for more than one weapon would have at least five. Unfortunately, most modern artists and costumers have no idea what the belts are for, and it becomes belt city.
* Gun belts, particularly the sort seen in media set in [[The Wild West]], are a justified example: Holding a heavy revolver, a couple of dozen spare rounds ''and'' your trousers in place is a bit much for one belt to handle. Also, a revolver holster sat low on the hip, and a belt couldn't hang low enough to hold it and still be high enough to hold your pants up.
