Been to many of those lately, Mike?


I've been wanting to make a belt buckle like that, but the cost to buy the tailpiece is just a bit high. Now, if I could fond one that's slightly broken, but still looks decent...

Is that a photoshop, Werner? If not, that's a pretty big belt!

I know there's a backlog and everything, but RIC needs to get this deal licensed! Let's get a few lawyers on it and get the papers signed! :mrgreen:

Well, it's definitely not mine - got it from yet another google image search.

Let me check my history... ... ... It's actually from the same source as that interesting prototype, Japanese source:

There's not so many belts being made any more that let you easily swap out a belt buckle.

Any good pakistan or hindu leather salesman will have the changeable belts in Europe, too

It's regular clothing shops that no longer have them over here.

Anyway, I doubt this is an orginal tailpiece converted into buckle; maybe in Japan you can actually buy this?
