         7 . The reversible garment belt of  claim 1 , further comprising a keeper to hold a tongue of the elongated belt strap that extends past the buckle when the reversible garment belt is worn. 
     
     
         8 . The reversible garment belt of  claim 1 , wherein the other of the two ends of the elongated belt strap is shaped via cutting the other of the two ends. 
     
     
         9 . The reversible garment belt of  claim 1 , wherein the buckle is attached to the one of the two ends utilizing screws that screw through a portion of the buckle into the elongated belt strap. 
     
     
         10 . The reversible garment belt of  claim 1 , wherein at least the front side of the second layer is sealed using a sealant. 
     
     
         11 . The reversible garment belt of  claim 1 , wherein characteristics of the reversible garment belt are customized for a wearer of the reversible garment belt. 
     
     
         12 . The reversible garment belt of  claim 1 , wherein a width of the elongated belt strap is between 1″ and 2″. 
     
     
         13 . A reversible garment belt, the reversible garment belt comprising:
 an elongated belt strap having two ends and two longitudinal edges, the elongated belt strap comprising:
 a first layer comprising a front side and a back side and made of a first material comprising one part of a hook and loop fastener, wherein the front side of the first layer accepts an object comprising the other part of the hook and loop fastener; and 
 a second layer having a front side and a back side, wherein the back side of the second layer is attached to the back side of the first layer via stitching passing through both the first layer and the second layer, wherein the second layer is made of a material different than the hook and loop fastener; and 
   a belt buckle attached to one of the two ends of the elongated belt strap, wherein the belt buckle comprises a reversing capability that allows for the elongated belt strap to be reversed such that one of: the front side of the first layer and the front side of the second layer is outwardly facing, wherein the reversing capability comprises a pivot pin wherein at least a portion of the belt buckle pivots and rotates around the pivot pin.   
     
     
         14 . The reversible garment belt of  claim 13 , wherein the material of the second layer comprises leather. 
     
     
         15 . The reversible garment belt of  claim 13 , wherein the back side of the second layer is attached to the back side of the first layer further using adhesive between the back side of the first layer and the back side of the second layer. 
     
     
         16 . The reversible garment belt of  claim 13 , further comprising a keeper to hold a tongue of the elongated belt strap that extends past the buckle when the reversible garment belt is worn. 
     
     
         17 . The reversible garment belt of  claim 13 , wherein a width of the elongated belt strap is between 1″ and 2″. 
     
     
         18 . A method of manufacturing a reversible garment belt, the method comprising:
