Purchase Officials has Sansabelts for $29 (or so they said in an email they sent me).

In The 20th Century
 
Back in the 20th century, as Conncecticut IAABO officials, we wore a gray shirt with blue trim. We were allowed to wear either black or blue pants. The blue pants looked really sharp with the blue trimmed shirt, but most officials on our local board, including me, wanted to look more like college officials, so most of us wore black pants. One time, I forgot to pack my black game pants, but as luck would have it, I was wearing blue dress pants that day. I felt that I was out of uniform that day, but at least the collar matched the cuffs.

Be honest - a belt is just another thing to forget and then you either have to hold them up and there go the mechanics or officiate with them at your ankles! :-)

I've seen guys buy pants with belt loops and then cut them off.

I actually had to do that myself once when I went to camp with shorts and was told that I had to have pants! I'd never been to a summer camp that required pants and just assumed. . .

Why do I wear beltless slacks for officiating basketball? Because it makes the belt one less thing I have to worry about packing.
