Members craig09 Posted July 27, 2010 Members Report Posted July 27, 2010 Hi all- Can anyone help with a source to get these belt buckles? I believe its called a quick release... Not sure if there are other terms to describe this type of buckle. Thanks in advance. Quote
Members NoahL Posted July 27, 2010 Members Report Posted July 27, 2010 That is a quick release buckle, and I'm not sure where to get them other than eBay--maybe Ohio Travel Bag? Quote Website: Wasteland Leatherwork Collaboration Projects: The Wasteland Crow Project
Members craig09 Posted July 27, 2010 Author Members Report Posted July 27, 2010 Thanks, I wasn't sure if there was another term I should be googling. I keep coming up with those cheapy plastic ones in my search... Quote
Members celticleather Posted July 27, 2010 Members Report Posted July 27, 2010 I've been trying for months to track down this buckle, but in brass. I eventually found the manufacturer (http://www.fhtomkins.com/products.htm), but they were not prepared to sell me any because they said they were made for a particular customer! I think they are known as firemen's buckles, so called because they were used years ago by US firefighters to strap up their firehoses. If you have any better success at finding a supplier, please let me know! Quote When everyone is somebody, then no one's anybody
Members craig09 Posted July 27, 2010 Author Members Report Posted July 27, 2010 I saw it on an Engineered Garments belt. I'm not sure if thats the same brand as the belt you posted, but it most likely is. Good work tracking down the manufacturer... Its a very cool design. Have you found anything even similar to it?

Members celticleather Posted July 28, 2010 Members Report Posted July 28, 2010 I've never found anything remotely similar, and it's not for lack of trying! I'll keep looking from time to time, and perhaps it'll show up. Quote When everyone is somebody, then no one's anybody
Members digitone Posted August 4, 2010 Members Report Posted August 4, 2010 Wow. I've been searching for the same belt buckle as well. If you do find a source please do inform us I've never found anything remotely similar, and it's not for lack of trying! I'll keep looking from time to time, and perhaps it'll show up. Quote
Members ABC3 Posted August 6, 2010 Members Report Posted August 6, 2010 I've been looking for 1 1/2" Brass & Nickels upgrades for months and nothing. If I run across your buckle - I let you know. Quote NRA Member Certified Firearms Instructor www.agcustomgunleather.com
Members BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted August 6, 2010 Members Report Posted August 6, 2010 How many are you looking for, and what width? My main interest is metal working (currently employed as a tool maker), so if you are looking for a quantity, it may be worth looking into making some.. Quote You laugh at me because I am different. I laugh at you because you are all the same.
Members digitone Posted August 6, 2010 Members Report Posted August 6, 2010 I am looking for 1 1/2" or even 1" I am willing to setup a group buy with these guys if the numbers will be enough to have you make some How many are you looking for, and what width?
