TeeJay Posted September 10, 2009 Report 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

ChipSlap Posted September 10, 2009 Report Posted September 10, 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
ken fingerlove Posted September 14, 2009 Report 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.
