Hi, everyone. This is my first post here, so please be patient with me!
I've found some great discussions here of high quality belts (Equus, Tim Hardy, and others), but I was wondering if anyone has any views or suggestions when it comes to quality belts with changeable buckles. I prefer to match my metals where possible, and I have both silver-colored and gold-colored watches. One solution, of course, is to buy two of everything when it comes to belts, but that will quickly get expensive. There are plenty of cheap belts with changeable buckles at Amazon and elsewhere, but I'd rather get something of decent quality.
One option I've found online is J. Hilburn. I gather that their shirts and suits are of questionable quality, but has anyone tried one of their custom belts? Each one ships with both silver- and gold-colored buckles, which are attached to the belt using a pair of snaps. That's the sort of thing I'm looking for -- if the leather is nice. (I noticed that the Gentleman's Gazette has started selling belts, but I don't like the metal keepers that feature on their "belt system.") Does anyone have other suggestions for belts with changeable buckles? Or perhaps there are good reasons to avoid changeable buckles?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
