Various attachment systems for belt buckles
There are several techniques for installing a buckle on a belt. Here are the most common ones:
- buckle with prongs that fold over the end of the leather strap
- buckle attached using a keeper and snap buttons or Chicago screws
- buckle screwed on using screws inserted into holes previously made in the belt
- buckle riveted in place, where the rivets also serve as decorative elements
- buckle attached using stitching and a buckle tab on the leather strap.
Different types of belt buckles
Deco Cuir has a varied stock of belt buckles that allows you to choose a type of closure adapted to the style of your creations.
Pin buckles
The most commonly used model for belts is the pin buckle, a metal buckle consisting of a frame and a pin. Attached to the leather strap, the pin goes through the chosen hole (usually the third one) in order to adjust the length of the belt.
Our pin buckles are available in various finishes: gunmetal (dark and matte), antique brass, gold-plated, nickel-plated…
Pin buckles come in several styles:
- double-pin fasteners: with two pins
- roller buckles: the roller reduces friction and facilitates the movement of the leather strap
- hooks with a chape
- double buckles…
Other types of belt buckles
Other systems exist for fastening belts, such as:
- hook buckles
- holeless or automatic buckles that lock the belt using a mechanism of metal teeth
- ratchet buckles for precise and reliable adjustment
- buckles with a stud that inserts directly into the leather
From classic buckles to original models
Many styles of belt buckles are available in Deco Cuir's collections. You will find traditional models and buckles that correspond to specific trends such as Western fashion or medieval influences.
Mexican belt buckles
We sell all the elements necessary to create Mexican or Western belts. These are Mexican buckles, with a belt loop and a matching tip. Several finishes are available, such as antique silver, satin antique brass, or nickel-plated. You have the choice between buckles with a clean style or refined decorations.
Belt buckles
Also called American buckles, they exist in a wide variety of shapes and styles: rectangular, oval, round… We offer classic models of belt buckles as well as original ones in the shape of a triskelion, dragon, rose, bird…
Medieval buckles
For historical reenactments, medieval fairs, theater plays, or live-action role-playing games (LARP), accessories must match the style of the clothing. Thanks to our range of medieval buckles, you can create bags, pouches, and belts with an authentic look.
Buckles for harness, bags, and watches
Deco Cuir's collections also include buckles used in horse riding, leatherworking, and watchmaking.
Conway buckles
The Conway buckle is a cinch buckle with a center bar. It makes it quick and easy to make adjustments on a strap. For this reason, the Conway buckle is used primarily in leatherworking and saddlery. It is notably used for leather handbag straps to easily modify their length. In horse riding, the Conway buckle is sought after for making Western-style harnesses or those intended for trail riding.
Buckles for bags and watches
For easy opening of backpacks, sports bags, or even belts, side-release buckles are perfect. These clip fasteners come in plastic or metal versions. We also offer pin buckles for watch straps.
