mseanschmidt Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 If I buy a GeF Strap with a sewn in buckle, is that buckle fixed there forever or can I change out the buckles? Help...... ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rolli Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 a good saddler can change the buckle. rolli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 a good saddler can change the buckle. That word will scare him ("you mean for horses??"). How about shoemaker instead? Sean, when you see "screw in" that's the one which allows you to change the buckles. Most of the straps on TC.biz are sewn-ins. Heard you can request screw-ins, but I never have.

rolli Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 shoemaker have no feeling for this kind of work. instead of saddler you can use also a belt-maker. rolli That word will scare him ("you mean for horses??").

bbell6 Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Couldn't you just use a pair of bolt cutters and cut the existing buckle out? Then purchase a screw in replacement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chainsaw massacre much? Those buckles cost a lot of money. Well, $20-$60 for the average PAM buckle. Keep it, Sean. You'll love it! I apologise for my tardy reply, BTW. Just busy today.

mseanschmidt Posted February 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 (edited) Finally decided on the Mario Paci XIV in Biscotto...a genuine Tuscan tanned Luxury Camel Skin Spoke with Eliot for a good while and this is the strap he suggested. Given the fact that I didn't want a black or really dark strap for my PAM253, what does everyone think of this selection?

Giggity-giggity. That was the last Paci I bought! Here are some closeups: Biscotto means biscuit (UK)/cookie (USA) in Italian. And you can see how perfect the name is -- that texture is edible. I think you'll love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
