Chicago screws are the way to go IMHO.

I believe the buckle is attached using snaps/ rivets. I have no idea what a Chicago screw is, or if they are even used in English leather work.

Here are some pictures of belts from the same manufacturer.

Oooo Daddy Likey

[wunnaz]

niceeeeeeee….!
can't wait to wear with MBB...!!!

+1 for the 1.75" belt.

[summ3rhays]

Those are some righteous belts.

[Giles]

I am pretty sure 2" is too wide for IH (if not, most jeans).  The IHB-01 and 02 are a tight fit at 1.5" wide, the IHB-03 is super tight at 1.7"

@Megatron1505:

I have no idea what a Chicago screw is.

I'm sure that some of the Chicago Forum members could arrange for this to be performed on you…

[Megatron1505]

I also think that 2" would be too wide for most jeans, but I was asked if it could be an option. Also in total agreement that 1.5" is the way to go with a belt.

Not sure this would be a good thing

And this is the boring version…

Don't Chicago screws have a tendency to come undone? It could just be my experience. Also, I've always been too lazy to buy some Loctite.

Girlfriends/wifes nailpolish does the trick

[Chris]

I've never used Locktite; Jack's right- nail polish works perfectly.  We married guys have access to wheelbarrows of that stuff…

[bagley920]

Or buy a bottle for $1 haha

[Sugar Mountain]

Yep, if you're brave enough to wear 25oz denim, you can be brave enough to walk into a pharmacy and buy nail polish remover 

[dirtyselvedge]

Nice updates on the belts.

+1 on the 1.75

[Megatron1505]

A few more images for you of the man himself in belt making action ….

[Seul]

Great looking stuff.

[DrPat]

An oxblood (maroon) color option would be cool.
