Non-plate style brass belt buckle

[War dog]

I am looking to purchase a brass belt buckle for the kilt belt that Robert of Rkilts is making for me. As it is a daywear belt, I am interested in brass but all I seem to find online are the rectangular plate styles. I would rather get something more circular or in an unusual shape. The belt width is 2.25.
Any suggestions other than commissioning one? This will be my go to daywear belt and I want to get something I'm really happy with rather than just make do.

Google Tyger Forge. Fella used to be a semi-active X-Marks member and he does some interesting metalwork.

McRostie of Glasgow would be worth a look. They make premium quality kilt day belts with one or two brass "prong" style buckles to choose from, although I am not sure that they make round style buckles.

Ebay is worth a look

Tyger Forge buckles are also available through the Scottish Tartans Museum Gift Shop. And yes, they are lovely!

I was going to mention McRostie as well. Top-notch stuff!

More traditional for Day Dress, I believe, are buckles more like ordinary "frame" buckles.

Here is an ornate vintage one that came up on Ebay a while back



I think 18th century style buckles can look very nice with Day Dress especially when an 18th century style sporran is being worn

I purchased one of Tyger's Bottony Cross buckles a little over three years ago. I always get comments and questions when I wear it.

After all this time, it's just starting to get a little tarnish on it. I'm going to pull out the polish and take care of it, just as soon as I finish posting this.

Check out "mountain man" type supplier, they usually have square and round very sturdy buckles, one or two prong types.

You might try this site . Scroll down and you will see various "circular " buckles . I purchased one of their belt and buckle combinations and was very pleased . You can buy also buy just the buckles .
