alpha2 Report post Posted January 19, 2019 I found this old buckle (30 yrs?) in the back of a drawer in my desk, so decided to actually make a belt for myself! Black bridle leather, custom buckle, sewn on CB4500. The buckle was made by a machinist at GM in Lansing, Michigan. There were a few of us in the area building airplanes so he made some buckles with our planes on them. Jeff Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

benlilly1 Report post Posted January 19, 2019 Nice vintage buckle Jeff! Bridle leather 2 layers or just one? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alpha2 Report post Posted January 19, 2019 Just one. Any thinner and I would have added a liner, but this stuff is fairly stiff anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
