Belt Sizes and Styles

[Tobus]

I've wanted a buckle in the style ShaunMaxwell wears for a long time, but haven't been able to find one in that simple form at the right width.

I tend to prefer a waistcoat these days, or no belt at all, but if I do wear a belt it's usually the one below. The waistplate is pewter-ish looking, and doesn't stand out like a big rectangular chrome billboard. The belt itself is 2-1/4" or 2-1/2" wide (can't remember offhand), and was handmade by my wife. You can always find a local leather worker to make a custom belt for you if you find a buckle you like. Belts are very simple and inexpensive to make, and a lot of leather workers use them for fill-in work between real projects. Stamping and/or tooling will obviously cost more if you want it. A plain leather belt is just fine, but I wear this one just because my sweetie made it.
