Belt Buckles

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

@mclaincausey said in Belt Buckles:
Man I had a chance to buy an Owsley buckle years ago and will die regretting not doing it.
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.
-
@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.
-
@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. -
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.
-
@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.
-
@Danimal506 They are
-
@goosehd Hell yea! That dude makes some beautiful belt buckles!
