    2.5 Inch Brass Kilt Belt Buckles (Found!)

    I hate to start a whole new thread for this, but all the others I've found here are old enough to be closed already, so I can't add this into those conversations.


    I wanted to share a source I just found for brass buckles accommodating 2-1/2 inch belts.

    http://www.coghlinandupton.com/index...dex&cPath=3_17

    Here are some selections for the 2-1/2" size....


    Dragoon Buckle (with keeper)






    Dragoon Buckle (reverse view)




    Cyma Buckle, Old, 18c





    Buckle: Garrison, 18c, Plain




    They aren't the cheapest I've found (cost-wise), but it's A) nice to finally find some, and B) nice to find a few styles other than the plain flat rectangle.

    Now I just can't decide which one I want....

    That is a very nice find indeed. The Dragoon and the Cyma both look great to me. Thanks much for sharing.

    I just noticed - They ship from Canada, so that'll be $15 USD for shipping even on a $10 buckle.... (If you live in the States)

    Yes, thank you for that source. There are some other interesting things on their site as well.

    Don't forget the exchange rate though; $1 Cdn is only $.80 USD, so that will cover a lot of the shipping right there.

    Just an FYI...I've used the buckle from an old horsehair western riding cinch that was a round flat brass. Was in my tack room looking at me. A round chrome plated one would work with a black belt.
