    Belt Question

    I need some input: Just receive a big round Clan buckle. It fit's my belt OK
    but on the right side it shows the end of the belt and bale. Do round buckle's
    require a different type of belt. I could put a notch In it, but then that would show when I used a square type buckle. What have some of you done?

    I'm not sure I understand the description you're giving of the issue. Do you have a photo to show?

    The round Gaelic Themes buckles I've used actually hide the end corners of the belt and the wire loop (bale?) better than the rectangular ones because the tongue of the buckle is closer to the center where as the rectangular ones have the tongue closer to the edge.

    To account for this extra exposure on the rectangular buckles I've started notching the wire loop inside the belt to pull more of the belt inside the perimeter of the buckle. Sorry, I don't have a photo of this at the moment.
