Belt Buckles

[HeathBar]

I had another question concerning belt buckles. I liked pdcloris's idea of taking a plain toolbelt from The Home Depot and dying it to make an inexpensive kilt belt. I just don't care for the buckle it comes with. I'm sure I could replace it with a Western style buckle, if one could be found with a celtic knot type design. Bult what about traditional "kilt belt" buckles. I don't own one, but I know that they don't "connect" like a regular buckle (through prong holes). Could someone take a picture of the back side of their buckle and show it here. I think that would answer my question the best.

Thanks

Heath, a kilt buckle has a wide, flat hook that catches the metal loop on the end of the belt. It isn't at all suitable for the holes in a leather belt. First, the holes would need to be changed to rather wide slots and the hook on the buckle would have to be altered to a shallower angle.

I guess that answers the question. I'd need to stick to the Western style buckle with the prong hook.
Thanks Bubba.
