Buckles

[Clan Sutherland]

Just wondered who has the best buckles for Kilt belts out there ? I really like the antiqued looking ones

Thanks

This place in the Scottish borders carries a range of handmade celtic buckles. I can personally recommend them and they do a full mail order service over the internet.

The guy made me a set of silver buttons for this jacket a couple of years back -

and the belt buckle is one of his too, gold plated.

Do you have to match the color of the buckle to the color of the cantle on the sporran? For that matter, do you have to match the color of the belt to the color of the footwear ( no mixing brownshoes and black belt, or chrome cantle and gold buckle)? Obviously this depends in large part to the occasion and the formality of the event.

You probably get more attention for wearing a kilt than the average guy, so any "fashion discrepancy" is likely to be noticed.
