Always measure the width of your finished strap before ordering. The 50mm measurement refers to the approximate internal width of the buckle where the strap passes through. For smooth operation, the finished strap should be the same width or slightly narrower.
Why Choose This Buckle?
The antique brass finish gives this buckle a classic, time-worn appearance that works particularly well with handcrafted leather goods. Its simple square shape is easy to coordinate with matching antique brass rings, clips, rivets, Chicago screws and other leathercraft hardware.
The centre-bar configuration helps position the strap and buckle tongue while maintaining a balanced appearance. This makes it a versatile choice for new projects, custom work and replacement hardware.
Frequently Asked Questions
What strap width does this buckle suit?
This buckle is designed for straps up to approximately 50mm wide. A slightly narrower strap may provide easier movement through the buckle.

Antique brass works particularly well with natural, tan, cognac, brown, distressed and black leather. It is ideal for projects requiring a traditional or vintage appearance.
Is this buckle suitable for making bags?
Yes. It can be used for wide adjustable bag straps, satchels, leather aprons and similar projects, provided the strap and buckle are suitable for the intended load.
Can I use matching antique brass hardware?
Yes. Pairing this buckle with antique brass rivets, Chicago screws, D-rings, keepers or swivel clips can create a coordinated professional finish.
