Abstract
A belt and belt latch combination for use by individuals is disclosed. The belt would have a belt latch that would use a pair of straps that belong to a hook and loop attachment system for attaching an end of the belt to the belt latch. The end of the belt would also preferably be wrapped around a roller attached to the belt, pulled out, and then extended back to place the two patches of the hook and loop attachment system in contact with one another, ensuring the belt remains removably attached to the belt latch.
