Smooth D-Buckle – Brass (for 32mm belts)
Strength in Simplicity
This buckle is made of cast brass, giving it a historically accurate, slightly irregular surface texture that distinguishes it from modern machine-stamped buckles. The D-shape is one of the most common buckle types in history due to its durability and ease of installation. The tongue sits freely on the straight bar, allowing for easy fastening even with thicker leathers.
Installation and Use
The buckle is sized for straps approximately 32 mm (1.25 inches) wide. It is a substantial piece of hardware capable of holding heavier gear.
- To install, you will need a leather strap 32 mm wide.
- Punch an oblong hole for the tongue in the leather.
- Fold the strap end over the straight bar of the buckle and secure it with rivets or sturdy saddle stitching.

Brass Care
Brass is a living material. Over time and with exposure to air, it will darken and acquire a beautiful period patina. If you wish to maintain its golden shine, simply polish it occasionally with a soft cloth and a brass cleaner.
