Think of stainless steel as the Switzerland of buckle materials – neutral, reliable, and universally respected. It's what we use in many of our designs because it simply works. For 99% of people this will be the fashionable but yet affordable and functional choice. 

Brass: The Character Builder

Traditional choice for western belt buckles. Like a fine wine, brass gets better with age. That gorgeous patina it develops? That's your belt telling its story through time.
