TeeJay Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 I had a bit of a wardrobe malfunction earlier when the buckle on my favorite belt decided to break where the tang attaches... I got the belt last year on my birthday, in Spain, and worn it almost daily since. The leather is still in good condition, so I figure I'd rather put a new buckle on, rather than just get a new belt, and I wondered if anyone might be able to give me any suggestions on some good buckles? The plainer the better Here's a photo of the belt and it's existing buckle to help with matching... I quite like this one: But wouldn't wear a buckle like these guys... TIA, amigos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChipSlap Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 I like this one myself, too bad you're in the UK. Yes, it does detach and is functional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted September 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 I like this one myself, too bad you're in the UK. Yes, it does detach and is functional. Oh man, what I'd give to have 2nd Amendment rights On a more positive note, I've managed to fix up my belt... I found my 'formal black belt' in the closet, and realized that it the buckle was secured in the same way as on my brown belt (screw/rivet holding a fold of leather in place, which in turn, held the buckle in place) so a few seconds work with the screwdriver of my Swiss Army knife, a buckle transplant later, and the brown belt is back in use Okay, I don't really like this buckle with this belt, but, it'll suffice till I can get a replacement buckle, as I really like wearing the brown belt Birthday money well spent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken fingerlove Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5418707§ion_id=5403605 I got a fantastic buckle from her three years or so ago, and have worn nothing since, and get some nice comments (sometimes). I don't see it on the site any more, but it's 2" x 3", with a layout of slightly rusty staples embedded in a dark red resin. I'll try to take a photo later if I remember. Reasonably cheap, too, although I did have to double the price with customs charges into the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
