belt keeper and trophy buckles

[MADMAX22]

Im gonna start a belt for a coworkers daughter and its gonna be a show belt. Question I have is with the larger trophy buckles do you still incorporate a keeper. I got measurements and didnt get a chance to see the buckle but was told its one of the larger oval ones.

Probably include one anyways but make sure it is removable.

What do you belt makers usually do?

Hey Max!

Yes, I would make a keeper to go with the belt. I usually make the belt with two small snaps or two Chicago screws and put the keeper between the fasteners to keep it from sliding around.
