Cowboy Belt Buckle
Beal’s Cowboy Buckles store. The belts hold up your pants and are different than a gun belt you might also wear.

Each one is custom hand carved and crafted, not made from a template or stamped. A popular option is to have your name or ranch name engraved in the back. There are many fine leather makers but the ones in my store are made by Wes Morton.

Horsehair BeltHORSEHAIR BELTS. For centuries master craftsmen in cultures throughout the world have woven fine horsehair into pieces of art. Hair from a horse tail is removed without harming or discomforting the animal. The hair is then cleaned, sorted and sometimes colored with natural pigments. It is then braided to create this belt. The horsehair strands are braided into groups of eight to form square braids – and the color and combination of those square braids determines the pattern. Each square braid is hand-stiched together.

SIZE. The best way to know what size belt to order is to measure an existing belt from the leather end that has the loop to the hole you are actually using. Order that size or if it is an odd number order the next size larger (an even number). That will give you two holes on either side of the center hole which handles most situations.

I carry both styles of belts plus some really nice “stock” belts at Beal’s Cowboy Buckles. Just click HERE to see them.
