Wearing a belt outside the Eruv

Hi,

One may wear a belt outside the Eruv, even if his pants have their own elastic band; people normally wear a belt to tighten the pants further. However, one could not wear an entirely superfluous belt, such as by wearing a gartel in addition to a regular belt, outside of an eruv.

(Rav Moshe Feinstein, Igrot Moshe Orach Chaim 4:101:5)

Pitka tava,
Mordechai
