Hlaska Does Belt Buckles

Hlaska has added two belt buckles designs to their line of menswear. The first one, called "Diving Bell," is available in antique brass or pewter and is inspired by WWII Navy Divers. The second design is called simply "Knot" and is available in pewter only. It draws its inspiration from the sea also, but this time from boating and climbing "figure-8" knots. Both belt buckles come with a simple leather belt in your choice of black, brown, or cognac and are a great way to make a statement with a casual outfit. $125

Mardaga Belt Buckles

Filed under: Men's Style

Generally there's only so much inventiveness that goes into a belt buckle and what makes a belt special is the detail on the buckle. The L'A Mardaga belt buckle has that but Albert Mardaga has reinvented the belt buckle using a mechanism similar to the opening of a shotgun action. The belt buckle breaks open just like the hinge of a double-barrel shotgun does at the place where you load the bullets and a lever moves left or right to unlock the hinge. The belt buckle has the same basic style. And how's this for a cool feature, instead of having to unbuckle your belt after taking in a heavy meal, a quick press on the button in the doll's-head extension on the end of the barrels allows the belt to lengthen.

The first Mardaga belts sold at auction at Bonham's London in 2004 for prices ranging from £1,912 to £2,400. One of the first belts sold to the Royal Armouries Museum. Each belt is custom made. There is a choice of six leathers; elephant, alligator, ostrich, crocodile, lizard and buffalo; seven engraving styles and six styles of the oak and leather box.
