HOW TO ORDER YOUR SIZE

For the most accurate fit, measure a belt you currently wear from the leather fold near the buckle to the hole used most often. Select that measurement when ordering. Please do not order according to your pants size alone.

VINTAGE CONDITION

This is an authentic vintage buckle more than 50 years old. It displays scratches, patina, finish variation and other age-related surface wear that contribute to its original character. Please review all photographs carefully, as they are part of the description.

The buckle is vintage; the genuine-leather belt is newly handmade specifically for your order. Because only one buckle is available, this exact belt-and-buckle combination cannot be duplicated.
