Customer Reviews on Our Kilt Buckles

  1. I bought this buckle to wear my belt on a kilt for St. Patrick's Day... It's a beautiful buckle that works well with my kilt belt, but I didn't realize the thistle (a Scottish thing)... A minor flaw that I'm sure will be unnoticed for St Patrick's Day in the US. But I'm a stickler for detail... The buckle however is really a beautiful piece and I would recommend it for anyone looking for a nice belt buckle, especially one for Scottish pride at a responsible cost.... It really is a nice durable piece.
  2. I would strongly recommend getting the belt and buckle from the same maker. These buckles are backwards by US menswear expectations, and need a belt that goes on right-to-left instead of the other way around (at least if it's a patterned belt with an up and a down; if it's a plain belt, it won't matter).
  3. This buckle is gigantic and of great craftsmanship ! It was comfortable to wear and fit great and held the belt and a very heavy kilt in place! All in all It to be a great buy for the money!
