Greetings from the Allgäu! I'm presently in search of either a supplier who carries the belt 'hook' (odd name, - the buckle has the hook) or is there an actual name for the bleeding part? Trying a google search brings me nothing. Does anyone have an idea? Cheers!
A few different things come to my mind and I am not sure if either of those are what you are talking about. Are you talking about a buckle or loop for this type of belt buckle: https://www.tandyleather.com/en/prod...o-1-3-4-4-4-cm https://www.usakilts.com/highland-sw...lt-buckle.html If you are looking for the loop part then I would check a hardware store or perhaps you could make one with a thick wire, perhaps 12 or 9 gauge, and some pliers. You could also get a cheep kilt belt off amazon or ebay and use the metal loop on a better quality belt. I also thought about a loop that connects to a belt for holding things, yet that is not normally from the buckle. For this I just use scrap leather and a D ring. It's easy to make and works great for holding things. If these are not not what you are looking for then a picture would help. A rough sketch should be enough to see help identify the part and help find a supplier.
No, I'm seeking the part opposite the buckle. I'd call it perhaps a wee catch, where the buckle 'hook' attaches to. I'm getting orders for belts and sporrans (not sure why) actually, as I normally make classic leather items. But it seems to have started this year and no complaints. But I need a supplier. Making them meself is a non-starter. But the link is appreciated nonetheless. Cheers
The name for what you are looking for is "bale".

A bale? I'll see what that turns up. Cheers!
I think in this instance, it's spelled "bail"... Apparently, you're not the first on the forum to ask the question! See posts #15 and #18: http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...90/index2.html

See posts #15 and #18: http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...90/index2.html Read over the thread and the author felt it was a 'bail'. No one knows. Odd that! I'll find a supplier eventually. Someone makes them. Cheers!
How many do you need. In my shop each buckle has one in the box. And each belt has one. So I have a few extra in a drawer.
