Belt Buckles – what to choose?

Choose a belt buckle by the width of the strap: the inner width of the buckle should be the same or 1–2 mm larger. Most of our buckles fit 30, 35 and 40 mm straps; narrow ones start at 15 mm and the widest take 54 mm. Buckles in cast brass and cast stainless steel are the same metal all the way through, while zinc alloy is cheaper and has a plated surface. Attach the buckle to the strap with Chicago screws so you can replace it later. Our ready-cut leather belt straps are 38 mm wide.

Parameter guide

What the parameters mean and how to choose the right values.

Inner width indicates the passage size for a strap or belt. Choose hardware with an inner width equal to or greater than your strap width.

The dimension of the whole piece, end to end. It tells you how much room the fitting takes on the finished item; whether it fits the webbing depends on the inner width. The whole piece is measured, not just its working part, so two pieces with the same inner width can differ in length.

A variant of the same item that differs in construction, shape or surface: for hardware, for example with or without a lock, straight or curved, or all-metal; for straps and webbing, smooth, braided, hair-on or with a reflective stripe. Variants usually share the dimensions and differ in handling or looks.

Prong diameter of the belt buckle – must match the hole in the belt. A thicker prong better resists bending during daily buckling and unbuckling.

How many prongs the buckle has. One is enough for a normal belt or collar; two spread the pull on a wider strap and keep it straighter, but call for two rows of holes. A value of 0 means a buckle without a prong, closed some other way.

Frequently asked questions

The most common questions – materials, selection and practical tips.

Choose a buckle with the same or a slightly larger inner width than the strap. The number in the buckle's name is its inner width: a 38 mm strap fits a 38 mm buckle snugly and a 40 mm buckle with a little play.
