Buckles
Buckles are used throughout leatherwork for their versatility in providing a way to adjust size and lengths of belts and straps. With a wide range of buckles for belts – casual or dress, to tiny buckles for shoes, watch straps and collars. Buckles can have a centre bar for the prong to sit through, or a heel bar (prong at one end) which is usually then put through a metal or leather ‘keeper’. There are also themed ‘trophy’ buckles which has a front design with a prong on the reverse that catches into the belt holes.
