Change the buckle, and now it looks like the Samurai belt.


Was that hard to change? If not, are all belt buckles as easily changed?

The belt is fastened with snaps. So it is easy for people to change buckles. Most of the other belts I own are sewed on, or bolted down. So those are much more difficult to change.

So I decided to copy Mr. Potato and I gotta say that I am loving this Samurai knock-off belt. Amish leathercraft is pretty damn good (and cheap!).

I'm heading to Seattle in a couple days... does anyone know a store where I can find a nice leather light tan belt?

PS: I love that (discontinued??) Engineered Garments quick-release belt. Can I still get it anywhere? I'm guessing just Buy/Sell

Not too expensive, don't know what the official price is but they're definitely well under $100
Can someone post a picture of these? Is there a picture available? Because I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on a Varvatos belt and would prefer not to if I could buy something (a) cooler (b) cheaper (c) from a forum friend.
