It does look like a hoof pick, but that said I like it, it is different than the average round or square buckles you see everywhere. I would also like to see the belt at 2 3/4" or 3".

Agreed. I like.

Very striking, but not my cup of tea

So, you like it?

The one in the photo is 1-3/4" wide and tapers down to 1-1/8" to fit through the eye of the buckle.

Scaling that up to 3" I'd estimate the price tag about $70. Edges slicked and coated with sealer and made from 9/10 oz. bridle leather.

Hook Buckle is available in Brass and Nickel and my standard 5 leather choices to choose from. Black, Dark Brown, Chestnut, Tabasco, Tan.

2-1/2" to 2-3/4" would be $4 less.

Drop me an email if interested

Thanks for the feedback guys and gals

Awesome. So it can be made to any waist also? My friend is about 5'0" tall and has a really small waist.

Cavscout,

Put me down for 2 one black and one chestnut 44" length!!!

The belt shown is 1-3/4" wide and tapers to 1-1/8".

I like your decisiveness Herman

Cavscout,

YOU CAN'T TAKE THE HIGH GROUND IF YOU CAN'T MAKE A DECISION!!

I am aggressive on and off the battlefield, once I make up my mind I go for it!! CR66

It does look a lot like a hoof pick. That being said, one could easily use a real hoof pick to make a similar setup.

The belt is too narrow for a good kilt belt, but I like it anyway.

Sorry Ayin, Yeah it can be made any size. Everything I make is made to order to the customers needs.

With all the loops and straps I would not recommend trying to emboss the entire belt with my Celtic Knot, but I could see centering it on the back of the belt or doing it Twice on the back to the left and right of the center line. Edge Bead would not be a problem though.

A few brass or nickel rivets or studs could be added also to jazz it up.

Lots of options could be done.

It truly is a Hoof Pick. It's such a elegant shape and very different I could not resist trying something with it.
