    New Buckle

    Hey Guys,

    One of our vendors has a new buckle that I tried (sight unseen) and I got it yesterday. I LOVE it and wanted to see what you guys thought of it... not sure if we're going to carry it as a stock item yet...

    Price would be $40 retail...

    Please excuse the picture as it's tough to take a pic of a belt you're wearing...

    Hi Rocky,

    Looks OK, and the price is fine. Just not for me.

    Best regards,

    I don't think $40 is too high. I'm not sure if I like it. At first glance I didn't, but now it's growing on me.

    I'm with Andrew.

    As the photo was loading, my first impression was "Cool, I like it!" When the stag head appeared I wasn't so sure. Although as I write this it does kind of to with the Fraser of Lovat Clan badge.

    Of the buckles you offer, I'm not sure it would be the first I would buy...but then again.

    I'm having a really hard time deciding. I don't think that $40.00 is too much.

    Rocky,

    Maybe it's just me, but I'm more into the abstract...I like the color (pewter) the fact that it's square, and lastly because it's symmetric, but I prefer modern art.

    $40 sounds like a fair price for a quality buckle. It kind of reminds me of the logo from a bottle of Jagermiester.

    I like it! Looks like the Gordon stag.

    That seems like a good price for the design.

    Well, that certainly puts the "buck" in buckle, now doesn't it?

    And for not too many "bucks," either.

    (I'm probably going to get "belted" for that one!)

    Rocky, I like it and would buy it but... I have all of that general style that I want at this time. My next buckle will probably be Native American and would require a belt from CavScout
