The Scottish Tartans Museum has some very nice belt buckles in their gift shop that I have had my eye on. Some of them are handcrafted and are a bit more expensive, but would be hard to beat at any price for their quality and craftsmanship. Good luck!

Most of the modern buckles don't do much for me, but I really like this one by Glen Esk of Scotland:

It looks better in person. I saw somebody wearing out out at a Games and I just had to have one. The deerhead is in nice relief, somewhat 3-d.
It's part of an en suite set by Glen Esk which includes a sporran cantle and kilt pin.

Thanks for the info. I actually got an email from Glen Esk because my buckle that no longer fits is from them. I had asked if there was a possibility they had a version that would fit. Grahame explained that they consider a 2.5" belt a piper's belt and not a kilt belt, hence their buckles will not fit.

Yes kilt belts used to come in two sizes, the wide one for military-style full dress uniforms, and a narrower one for civilian Evening Dress.
That Glen Esk buckle fits the Evening Dress size.

I have the buckle and kilt pin. I love the buckle. It does indeed look better in person.

But Is It Big Enough?
I have an email from Glen Esk that says they don't do 2.5" belt buckles. Will this fit that width of belt?
