Tandy Leather Napa Buckle 1-1/2" (38 mm) Antique Nickel Plate 1643-21

2/18/22 Update: I bought in August of 2020. It appears to be very strong, but it has already broken. Years ago when I bought l bought belts, they lasted for many years, especially any belts I owned which were wide and had a heavy buckle, such as this. I guess inferior metal is used these days. Price was cheap, so I didn't knock it to one star, because I got over a year for cheap, but I'd rather pay a little more for many years of use!8/24/2020 I'm rewriting my review. I was very disappointed because I couldn't put it in my belt which had it's original sown-in belt buckle break. I expected a piece that would go through one side of the buckle, then through the belt, and screw in the other side of the buckle. But upon intensive searching on Amazon, I couldn't find anything of that nature. I felt like rating it a 1, because it gave no indication that this could not be done. But since I could find none that do this, I suppose it's just what would be expected. I expected to be able to put it in my sown belt (as opposed to snaps to hold the buckle in), but cannot. Now I've found a work-around: Amazon "Tandy Leather Screw Post Open Back 1/8" (0,3 cm) Black Plate 10/pk 1296-04" is around $7, and solves this problem. Just ordered them. I can cut the threads out, then use these fasteners, and it should work just fine. (Others have done the same, as I found out in various fastener reviews.) Since there is a solution, and I've looked at many other buckles, this one seems as good as any, better than most, and a much better price than most. As such it deserves 5 stars. (Originally I was going to rate it much lower, since it seemed unusable to me, and I expected it to be used on my kind of belt.) I have another identical belt (different color) that needs to be fixed, and for the same reason. That "Screw Post Open Back..." is a 10-pack, so it's enough to fix both belts with plenty left over, so my belt other belt can be fixed for the outstanding price of this buckle alone.

This buckle attaches to a belt that has three snaps to hold it in place. It is easy to connect to a belt and it looks good.

I like this buckle sold by Bigfly ($6.49 on 5/26/24). Seems to be made well and should last a good while.

The buckle fit perfectly on my fiancé belt. I actually ordered 2 to have a spare around. Thank you for the accurate item advertised and shipped promptly. I would purchase from this seller again.

FIT RIGHT ON MY BELT NO PROBLEM. REPLACED A BUCKLE THAT DIDN'T HAVE A ROLLER. THE ROLLER HELPS THE BELT LAST LONGER AND BUCKLE UP EASIER FOR ME. WORKS ON BELTS WITH SNAPS TO HOLD THE BUCKLE, OR IF YOU ARE MAKING A BELT FROM A LEATHER STRAP, IN WHICH CASE YOU WILL NEED RIVETS. THE BUCKLE IS NICELY FINISHED And SHOULD LAST FOREVER.

Runs slightly small for fit in relation to belt.

What can you say about a belt buckle? This one is working great so far - sturdy and the style I needed for a good belt I already had as well as a new one I purchased. And since I have the other belt without a buckle I’m planning to order another of these for that belt. Big plus that it comes from my home state of Texas and the famous Tandy Leather Company!

Seems a little fragile but will update after some use.

Product is fine, and fairly priced but the shipping is over the top expensive. Has turned me off ordering on-line.
