Brown Belt – Buckle Color?

[Andrew Breecher]

[...] unless one could find a copper colored buckle.

I'd be afraid of the copper oxidising on my kilt, unless it were well sealed in some sort of tarnish-resistant finish.

Where is a good place to find brass colored Kilt belt buckles? I see that Frugal corner has some. Any other place?

Thanks Bill. Nice store. Only about 60 miles from me - I might visit them.

I often use a belt that has a copper color. It looks good and I've had no problem with staining of any sort. My preference in brass with brown.

I also prefer a brass buckle with brown belt. Brown ghillies look good also with it all. I wish I had a bair that color.

I prefer brass on most leather. But I have a couple of belts that are dark or reddish brown (as opposed to yellowish-brown) and they look great with silver or pewter as well.

Where might I find a (modestly priced) brass buckle for a 2” belt?

Oconee Leather Works has a good selection of modestly priced brass buckles: http://oconeeleatherworks.com/Buckles.htm

He also makes great belts (I'm waiting for one right now).

If you're looking for a second opinion, I think silver/chrome looks great with medium browns and dark browns (even some dark reddish browns). I wear an interchangeable silver buckle on my brown belt because all my other "jewelry" (wedding ring, watches, celtic dogs bracelet) is silver, and I think it completes the picture better. That said, I don't worry too much about the brass buckles on my R-kilts sporran strap (though I have thought of requesting one in brown with chrome hardware once or twice...) mixing with my silver stuff.

Just my two cents.
