Belt Buckles

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 I was only looking for the belts with the snaps, thanks pointing out he name 'chicago screws' , now I know what to look for .

[Heritage_Guy]

@goosehd The iris on that all seeing eye is creepily realistic, gives off Evil Dead vibes . Love it!

[goosehd]

@Heritage_Guy That’s because it’s a real glass eye…

Ouch.

@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.

Nice thread post @Heritage_Guy. My grandpas CPO buckle. Sending to @seawolf to make a proper belt for it this summer.

[mclaincausey]

@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.

[mclaincausey]

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

[flannel slut]

@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.

[mclaincausey]

That’s amazing ️

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

[flannel slut]

@Mizmazzle hell yeah man. The wallet you “apprenticed” through him is beyond impressive.

@goosehd are those made by Jeff Decker? I heard him on Dean Delray’s podcast years ago, very cool if so.

[goosehd]

@Danimal506 They are

[Danimal506]

@goosehd Hell yea! That dude makes some beautiful belt buckles!

ha ha ... I cannot show my buckle rotation, or I'll be banned. (already happened once years ago... some sensitive people was around that time) So lets say I just use clipped corner buckles... on DIY belts.
