This is the belt from LGC. I was thinking it is kinda plain. Does anyone have any good pics of belt buckles, I want to buy a belt and make a better decision this time.

I was about to post a sarcastic remark but after seeing these nice worn LGC made me reconsider. Is it the "work belt" in tan?

^only if you can find one in solid brass.

I think that's a great buckle, iroh, and nice belt.

I'll trade you a nickel roller or Coke buckle for it.

I don't see what prompted you at all to buy that.

I think your buckle is fine, fits the plain light-tan leather quite well.

On the subject of vintage buckles, here's my pewter Cat's Paw one from 1976:

I was hoping someone at Toyo would cop it from me to do some repro buckles :p

It looks fine to me.
However, I would get a nickle buckle if your getting a black belt.

It is the bridle leather belt in natural.

How thick is the bridle belt? Is it overly bulky with jeans/chinos? It seems like a seriously good deal at 60 bucks. I was close to pulling the trigger on the jeanshop belt, but now I'm reconsidering. I can get two LGC bridle belts in different colors for less than half the price of the jeanshop.

Anyone own both and can offer a comparison?
