'worn a belt of sorts' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'bob aldrich had' is the wordplay.
'had' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (I've seen 'has' mean this).
'BALDRIC' is hidden in the letters of 'bob aldrich'.

Can you help me to learn more?
