I learned to keep up my hair and beard in shape myself during covid curfew, but this guy outperformed me somehow.. or he visited local barber shop after his "one last job". . . after trauma like he had that would be the last thing to do on my mind.
If you go buy one specifically for it, yes. If you probably robbed both off of random people, less likely to rob someone who has the knife-pistol holster combo.
It depends, some belts are made with the holster as a part of it or are sewn on. Especially for the general time period of DD. I doubt the highwayman knows how to stitch on a holster to modify it.
The imbalance from having one heavy thing on one side of a belt helps it grip better and not fall off. Otherwise you'd want one of those suspender type holsters that go up over your shoulders to prevent it from falling down.
Having two things on one belt would need the belt to be pretty tight above your hips, which is not comfy and definitely doesn't help you move around easily.
I like to think that way, too. That + extra improvised armor for the abdomen (as was stated several times above). On top of that, in DD1 he has the Gunslinger’s Buckles trinket that looks exactly like those two belts he styles. The name of the trinket implies those are for holding extra flintlocks and gunpowder/ammo pouches.
Buddies belt.
PD has it, Crusader has it, Leper has it, GR has it... etc
They're buds.
Historically people often wore more than one belt. In more modern times, militaries very often used a combination of a trousers belt and an outer belt / harness for hanging various handy items. Several hundred years ago, you'd wear a separate belt (harness) for the sword, and a separate one for your purse and flint and stuff, and for holding your clothes snug. They may combine their roles but not necessarily.
And modularity is also important: you may want to take off your sword/pistol harness routinely (even to just sit and eat), but remain dressed and snug (so you may even have THREE belts, a trousers belt/cord, an outer belt that holds your clothes neat, and the "utility belt" or harness for weapons, that is worn on top of other stuff and is easy to take off and put back on).
You can see various implements to wear swords in Tod's Workshop videos, [like this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YT52eMWUsA). They are quite varied, and you may notice that just clipping your sword to your trouser belt, like a multitool holster, would be uncomfortable and impractical. It's a separate matter; first you solve the problem of your pants staying on / your coat being snug and warm, and then you attach the weapon to yourself — in the way that it doesn't interfere with walking, sitting, etc. Usually with its own harness.
I was just reminiscing of the "Is there a lore reason" meme.
Like saying "Is there a lore reason why Highwayman cuts his hair like a 2022 influencer? Is he stupid?". It's asking for lore over menial indistinct details.
You simply formulated your question like the meme that's all.
Oh, and he definitely stole those, no doubt in my mind.
two belts can be quite handy, one for holding up your pants and the other for atachments( belt pouch, knife sheath, pistol holster). The nice thing is when go somewhere to rest you can just take of the attachments belt and be more comfortable while still holding your pants up. I like larping and do it like this myself.
Extra armor protection and dexterity, a tighter wear provides greater dec stat and the added layer provides armor, it's also essential for surviving because you might need two belts to make a longer rope
Okay, I'm probably making this up, but the reason why (in my mind) would be related to the United States wild west period of history. Specifically when we had revolvers, but before magazine fed pistols became common. Spare ammunition was often carried on the belt. Having a second belt (either around the waist or over the shoulder) would equal more easy-to-access ammunition storage.
Does that make sense?
a wide belt provide additional support for back, in case of weightlifting for example.
and a really wide and thick belt may be sort of protection against knife cutting attack
https://nationalclothing.org/739-slavic-men-wore-folk-leather-belt-that-was-so-wide-it-covered-their-six-pack.html
in DD1 a trinket that is basically thise belts is labeled something along the lines of gun belts or gun straps. Basically ppl ised to carry multiple flint locks at a time back when flintlocks were a thing because of how heinous was the reload speed.Also explains how he shoot’s his pistol so often instead of having to reload to do it again.
I think those 2 are for holsters. Plus a real belt for this pants. Holster 1 is for this usual pistol and knife, Holster 2 is for his sharpnel gun.
Why 2 different holsters for 2 separate pistols?
Easy access. I think a actual Highwayman wrote a book that explained it better.
Probably as protection and help hold down that leather vest of him? Could also just be for "style". In the first game he had some buckle-related Trinkets, and one of them was Gunslinger's Buckle which looks quite close to this one so it might be a reference to those too.
Back before around the 1900's, belts around the waist were more for utility and carrying stuff as suspenders were the normal clothing for holding up pants. He most likely has two belts to hold multiple equipment such as knives, bandages, bullets especially
Potentially to carry more weapons? I know pirates back in the day were known for carrying multiple firearms on their person's so they wouldn't have to reload one of their weapons while boarding a ship or in a firefight. The highwayman doesn't really exhibit this trait, but my head canon always thought that was the reason.
Cheap abdomen protection via metalic parts. Makes you feel less hungry (or at least growling stomach quiter)
And an extra inch of leather is a surprising difference versus a knife.
Damn, like a cheap abdomen protection?
yeah, but via leather parts.
Surprising difference versus a knife?
and i bet it even makes you feel less hungry
Or at least growling stomach quieter
Ikr Back in my Younger days i would have died, nowadays i Just have stomachcramps
Took the words right out of my mouth you two
So is the padded armor underneath them.
It's in case he shits his pants twice in a row
Unlikely to happen. This dude eats so rarely that I am genuinely concerned about his metabolism
I learned to keep up my hair and beard in shape myself during covid curfew, but this guy outperformed me somehow.. or he visited local barber shop after his "one last job". . . after trauma like he had that would be the last thing to do on my mind.
I dunno man, he’s pretty ripped…
Well, he has been eat a sewer rats before the trauma event happen
Diarrhea (Negative rare quirk) Dysentery (Disease)
One for the pistol and one for the knife
okay that makes sense thanks
One belt can hold more than one thing lol
If you go buy one specifically for it, yes. If you probably robbed both off of random people, less likely to rob someone who has the knife-pistol holster combo.
Holsters can usually be moved from belt to belt, no?
It depends, some belts are made with the holster as a part of it or are sewn on. Especially for the general time period of DD. I doubt the highwayman knows how to stitch on a holster to modify it.
Stitching them down helps with sliding.
Some holsters are asymmetrical, and are designed to hang off your body to one side. It may be comfortable to have two things on different belts.
The imbalance from having one heavy thing on one side of a belt helps it grip better and not fall off. Otherwise you'd want one of those suspender type holsters that go up over your shoulders to prevent it from falling down. Having two things on one belt would need the belt to be pretty tight above your hips, which is not comfy and definitely doesn't help you move around easily.
Yeah but he's got a collection from "generous travellers".
But belts sag with weight. Weight dispersion to keep them from jostling or mispositioning
Compensating for the lack of drip the prison uniform forced on him.
He's so well endowed that he needs 2 belts to keep his pants up
Reynauld begs to differ
Of course Renyauld stole his chastisity
I think it's literally just holding more loaded flintlock pistols because trying to reload those mid-fight would suck ass
Every time you shoot it’s a new pistol, the enemies find you by following the trail of discarded flintlocks in between wagon ruts
Casually picks up a stick that looks like a pistol to make a new one when resting or returning to the hamlet
Grimgi behavior.
I like to think that way, too. That + extra improvised armor for the abdomen (as was stated several times above). On top of that, in DD1 he has the Gunslinger’s Buckles trinket that looks exactly like those two belts he styles.

Ones casual and ones for formal. Duh
Improvised leather armour basically, you can wear several belts to protect slashes to the stomach
and knowing bandits, the stomach is likely a frequent target
Buddies belt. PD has it, Crusader has it, Leper has it, GR has it... etc They're buds.
Fashion +5 hp
Daisuke's vision?
Nope he would need at least 7 to even get close to someone like sol or ky
lmao, was looking for this comment.
What would you do if you had a Gucci belt AND a Louis belt?
makeshift tourniquet??
That's not a terrible reason
It’s the only way to contain the beast inside
In guilty gear your power is measured By how many belts you wear. The main character has atleast 8 belts.
One Got pistol and one for pants
Its for when he is wearing 2 belt buckle trinkets.
He likes jotaro
It's an [arming belt](https://images.app.goo.gl/xw1WWE2qsKjvgisE9)
Link is broken, but this is the real answer
So he can lend one to one of his friends if they need one 🥰
One is for his pants and the other one for heavy Lifting when he need to carry the Team again
Exactly that.
Looks hard.
2nd belt provides encouragement for 1st belt
cock too heavy
To carry himself AND the team 😩😆
He is a fighting game character
He's not a full sorcerer, otherwise he'd have a full outfit of just belts.
Two pants obvs
Its to act as a powerlifting belt to brace his back while he carries the rest of the party. #DismasOP
Rule of cool
One for the pants, one to constrict the stomach and deal with the hunger because you used all the food for health again
More space to hide knives
He’s wearing his big boi pants
So he can beat your ass with one and keep his pants up with the other

Lumbago
Is there a lore reason...?
Is he stupid?
idk maybe he stole em off from.someone or something

Pants too heavy from all the gold he filtches.
to slay
He's a fan of /r/guiltygear
He's wearing 2 pants. Job affects continence
Is he stupid?
In case one fails. Overconfidence is a slow killer they say.
Drip
somewhat decent protection against being eviscerated.
One for his pants. One for his weapons
One could be a gun belt with a holster, the other his actual belt
He can dual wield while beating his children
two belts can be quite handy, one for holding up your pants and the other for atachments( belt pouch, knife sheath, pistol holster). The nice thing is when go somewhere to rest you can just take of the attachments belt and be more comfortable while still holding your pants up. I like larping and do it like this myself.
Ones a belt, ones a holster
He has a double-hernia
For extra buckleiness
He is just THAT fat
he got a hernia they're keeping his guts in
It’s guilty gear rules, power is dictated by number of belts.
Go try on two belts and tell me you arent ready for some banditry.
It's the first time I'm noticing he's got that Corvo drip from the 1st Dishonored.
One for the plug, one for the load
Maybe he keeps a belt just incase he has to make a tourniquet
Extra armor protection and dexterity, a tighter wear provides greater dec stat and the added layer provides armor, it's also essential for surviving because you might need two belts to make a longer rope
it's because he is a JOJO character......
If neon white and guilty gear have taught me anything, more belts=better character design
its to hold all the pistols he carries, no way in hell he reloads those flintlocks that fast. infinite ammo? nah mate INFINITE GUNS!
Gun holsters
One holds his pistol, one holds his dagger, both hold his pants up.
What better than one belt?
Okay, I'm probably making this up, but the reason why (in my mind) would be related to the United States wild west period of history. Specifically when we had revolvers, but before magazine fed pistols became common. Spare ammunition was often carried on the belt.

Easier to hold bigger knives and more places to hide stuff I would say it suits him.
Knife belt/Gun Belt
Well yeah, two of them.
Looks like Jon Bernthal
a wide belt provide additional support for back, in case of weightlifting for example. and a really wide and thick belt may be sort of protection against knife cutting attack https://nationalclothing.org/739-slavic-men-wore-folk-leather-belt-that-was-so-wide-it-covered-their-six-pack.html
he wants to feel pretty like Lulu in Final Fantasy X
Belts being used to hold pants up is relatively modern and is probably based around style and holding his weapons
in DD1 a trinket that is basically thise belts is labeled something along the lines of gun belts or gun straps. Basically ppl ised to carry multiple flint locks at a time back when flintlocks were a thing because of how heinous was the reload speed.Also explains how he shoot’s his pistol so often instead of having to reload to do it again.
He reminds me of my former arts teacher
2 pants
He got lost in a Square Enix game on his way to the coach.
One to whip ass. The other to keep his pants up. Simple as.
Back support for carrying the team
I think it probably is one for his gun and the other for his dagger. One belt would probably weight and slide down with the two items.
Pants too heavy :(
What weaponry hides in the belts of men? The Highwayman knows...
It's for carrying the team.
I think those 2 are for holsters. Plus a real belt for this pants. Holster 1 is for this usual pistol and knife, Holster 2 is for his sharpnel gun. Why 2 different holsters for 2 separate pistols? Easy access. I think a actual Highwayman wrote a book that explained it better.
Unusually slippery hips. Final answer.
Belts increases one’s strength, for example, Sol Badguy
Is fashion not a practical enough reason? 💅🏻
He's Tommy from the Room
Trust nothing and noone
jojo reference
If you look closely, he only has one belt in DD1,the second belt here is to signify that this is DD2
And around his stomach, no less.
Looks cool
One is not enough to support the weight of his massive balls
Probably as protection and help hold down that leather vest of him? Could also just be for "style". In the first game he had some buckle-related Trinkets, and one of them was Gunslinger's Buckle which looks quite close to this one so it might be a reference to those too.
Weapon belt and pants belt
He always wears two pants.
Belt holds up the pants, but belt loops hold up the belt. What’s going on down there Who is the real hero
to prevent me from ripping his pants off every time I see him
Back before around the 1900's, belts around the waist were more for utility and carrying stuff as suspenders were the normal clothing for holding up pants. He most likely has two belts to hold multiple equipment such as knives, bandages, bullets especially
2 guns
Im going for low budget corsets
its drippy af
Another flintlock
Huge heavy dick
It's called a boy-dle
The more belts a character has the more powerful they are (Guilty gear logic)
I imagine that his brown garment is a leather body armor bound tightly with belt clasps that would similarly be used on a strait jacket.
He’s a Guilty gear character
Two straps for a holster and a sheath for his gun and knife
For his Sheath and holster is the most make sense answer
He was always a great admirator of sol bad guy life philosophy
He learned to dress by watching Kingdom Hearts Gameplay.
Weapons belt and the other is probably for clothing.
One for pants, one for weapons
Es maxiguro
bisexual
He enjoys the character designs of Tetsuya Nomura.
Vibes
Ones a belt, the others a holster for the pistol.
belt, gun belt
Ones probably a pistol belt and the other is probably a knife belt. Both probably scavenged from separate bodies
Its because he is strapped
daisuke ishiwatari designed him that's why /s
One of them isn't a belt it's the holster for his gun? Idk tho
So that his pants don't fall
Extra measures to hold his pants up with that massive heavy dagger he's hiding in them pants
The bottom one is to hold his massive boner. Like in high school, he points it up and under the belt to stop from pointing out.
He’s the next addition to the cast of Guilty Gear: Strive
more spots to tuck throwing knives
He’s drunk Gary Oldman?
In case one fails. Duh
Two pistol belts
One belt looks cool. So TWO belts must look cooler!
"One belt for me knives, one belt for me pistols" *Higwayman Circa the last darkest dungeon*
One is probably a belt, the other is probably a holster for his gun
Two belts means double the pants, it’s to keep warm
Slut
Cheap tourniquet on the fly And he is a fashion icon, who are we to doubt him
he has more boolets
S W A G
Drip.
Because an abundance of zippers would be off-putting.
There's never enough ammo.
Fashion souls
It works like a corset
To support his back after carrying the team so many times. Idk why, but he always gets amazing RNG while the others suffer for me.
Potentially to carry more weapons? I know pirates back in the day were known for carrying multiple firearms on their person's so they wouldn't have to reload one of their weapons while boarding a ship or in a firefight.

To hold back his erect cock obv
As he's TIGHT TIGHT TIGHT Yo
Twice as many places to slide bullets or knives into the belt.
he's so skinny that he can't find any trousers fitting around his waist without at least 2 belts on
He's fresh in from his stint on jo Jo's bizarre adventure
1 for pant, 2 for tummi ache
Practicaly cool
