"The real ones are called trophy buckles, and are actually given as trophies in rodeo events. The bigger and shinier the buckle, the higher the ranking.
I nicknamed them "turkey platter" buckles."

Chuck Knight replied to Daniel's discussion Casual Belts for Jeans?"Just as you loosely match the colors, brown for brown, etc...you loosely match the metals as well.
Many casual belts will have snaps which allow you to easily change the buckle, so you can change the buckle's metal and design depending…"
Daniel replied to Daniel's discussion Casual Belts for Jeans?"Thanks for the tips everyone.
With casual belts mainly for jeans, should I stick to the normal buckle (first pic) or can I use the solid square shaped buckle too? (2nd pic)
Should the buckle be silver or can I also use gold? I am planning on…"
Native Son replied to Daniel's discussion Casual Belts for Jeans?"OK, OK. Texans excepted. And the picture one isn't what I had in mind. I was visualizing the BIG belt plates my brother routinely wins at the Turkey Shoots. by direct observation, most guys just can't quite pull off one…"

Matthew Hockley replied to Daniel's discussion Casual Belts for Jeans?"Casual belts are typically wider, bigger buckle, plain, and usually have a flat or less glossy finish then their dress belt brethren. I'd suggest that you look for a belt that is "top-grain" or "full-grain" leather. …"
Rick Shelton replied to Daniel's discussion Casual Belts for Jeans?"There are jean specific belts you can purchase. These are usually wider than dress belts, single layer (unstitched) with a larger buckle. If you go to Eddie Bauer you will find some and I'm sure you can find them at JC Penney as…"
Native Son replied to Daniel's discussion Casual Belts for Jeans?"Unless you're into rodeo or skeet shooting, avoid the huge belt plate buckles."
The Dutch Dastard replied to Daniel's discussion Casual Belts for Jeans?"Just remember: if you're wearing a leather belt and leather shoes, make sure the belt (somewhat) matches the shoes. So: brown shoes-brown belt, black shoes-black belt. Then again, if you're wearing white leather trainers, don't get a…"
Chuck Knight replied to Daniel's discussion Casual Belts for Jeans?"Think texture.
Smooth and fine grained leather tends to be considered dressy. The more textured/patterned it is, the more casual it tends to appear.
Pebble grained leather is a classic and looks wonderful. Braided leather…"
Rich T replied to Daniel's discussion Casual Belts for Jeans?"Any belt over an inch and a quarter or more wide. You want to fill the loops and not have fabric hanging over the belt."
Tyler M. replied to Daniel's discussion Casual Belts for Jeans?"A plain brown/black leather belt isn't geared toward anything, in my opinion. My brown leather belt looks just as at home with jeans and a tee as it does with my school uniform. This is just my two cents, but I say stay with simple leather…"
Daniel posted a discussionCasual Belts for Jeans?
Is there a rule to follow for wearing belts for jeans? I understand that casual belts can have bigger buckles and I am fond of a belt with a bigger buckle. Can anyone recommend any good belts for jeans? The belts I currently have are geared more for dress clothes. I was at TJ Maxx and saw some belts from LaCrosse and Ralph Polo for only $20. I was not sure if those belts were for dress pants specifically. See More
