      Everyone has great denim and of course amazing belts but does anyone rock a belt strap with interchangeable belt buckles? Please show your collection if you have one. My avatar is my Owlsley Stanley Stealie buckle in sterling silver and I have few more Dead related buckles I will post.

        Here is my rotation of buckles, the Owsley one is too pristine and valuable to daily. 20250304_121914.jpg

          Need to find a thin belt that will work with this beauty, made by the late Peggy Surrell of Lander, WY.

          Not a belt, but speaking of Owsley… A gift from a good friend, enamel is beat up from lots of love. A cherished piece!

            Very cool pendant . It has the same level of detail as the Owlsley buckles. I'm also trying to find some recommendation on belt straps that are customizable in premium leathers.

              Man I had a chance to buy an Owsley buckle years ago and will die regretting not doing it.

              I think most belts from premium makers come with Chicago screws so you can exchange buckles @Heritage_Guy inclusing the IH Tochigi garrison belts.

              Here is my IH brass plate buckle on a ZeeBee (@seawolf -made) belt. This is my daily driver aside from when I wear my black IH tochigi nickel garrison belt.

                          @mclaincausey this is so epic. I wish the heavy plate tochigi belt used Chicago screws rather than being sewn on. It seems like it would work great with my beadwork piece.

                              @SourPower yeah it’s the same buckle. Not sure why a buckle with ever be sewed on to a belt personally.

                              The one forum gripe on this buckle is the height of the pin that attached to the belt. I think this was to accommodate thick belts but it results in a bit of a slant:

                              One forum member ground it down a bit to make it flatter, but it doesn’t bother me.

                              Think it, be it.

                                @flannel-slut literally the best person to do it, beyond skill, given he’s a retired CPO (unless I’m mistaken).

                                  @mclaincausey 💯 we had a good back and forth when going over what I was looking for and uncovered Zach served as a senior CPO. Relayed to my mom and her sisters on Xmas that I was repurposing their dad’s buckle and was outsourcing it to a former Naval officer; tears of joy all around.

                                      @flannel-slut that buckle is so cool! Zach is for sure the man for the job! I love my Zeebee belt as well.
