Western Belts and Buckles
In the western world, belt and buckle are two separate things: the belt is the leather strap, the buckle the interchangeable fastening. That is the whole appeal – a new buckle turns the same belt into a different piece.
Buckles
Buckles come in every style: plain, or with motifs such as longhorns, stars, revolvers, pleasure and reining scenes, right through to rhinestone versions. Montana Silversmiths is the best-known name here, one of the established American makers of western buckles.
Buckles are also handed out as awards – anyone who competes knows trophy buckles as the winner's prize.
Belts
The leather straps come in different widths, colours and tooling patterns. What matters when buying: belt and buckle have to match in width. Western belts are usually around 38 millimetres, an inch and a half, and most buckles are made for that.

Buckles and belt buckles, and belts, each have their own section.
Frequently asked questions
How do I find my belt size? Measure a belt you like to wear, from the hole you use to the start of the buckle. Alternatively take your trouser waist size and add five centimetres.
Does every buckle fit every belt? No, width decides. A 38-millimetre belt needs a 38-millimetre buckle. On the belt itself the buckle is changed via snaps or a screw.
How do I care for a leather belt? Rub in leather balm now and then so the leather stays supple and does not crack. Let a wet belt dry in the air, never on a radiator.
How do I clean a buckle? With a soft, dry cloth. Avoid aggressive cleaners on rhinestone buckles, they dissolve the glue holding the stones.
