Hello I have been having trouble with buying belt buckle sets that include buckle, keeper, and tip. I buy 1 1/2" buckle sets and cut my strip 1 1/2". The problem comes along when you put it all together and the strip is to wide for the keeper and the tip. So to fix this I either take a 1/4" off the strip or just tapper down the last 8 inches or so of the belt tip. My question is what do you normally do? make a 1 1/2" belt actually a 1 1/4" belt or what? thanks
