The Different Style of Belt Buckles

Frame Style Buckle

Not only a buckle style for formal belts, the frame-style — usually with a bigger/thicker profile — can fasten casual belts as well

Plate Style Buckle

Usually detachable — paired with snap belts (straps without buckles)

Plate is usually decorated — e.g., in cowboy and biker belts

Hook goes through the front of the strap

Throw (distance from chape to hook) adds to the length of your belt

Box Frame Buckle

Box is hollow, metal and open-ended

Post presses the strap against the inside of the box

No need for holes in the strap

D-Ring/O-Ring Buckle

One or two rings form the buckle

Belt is fastened by threading through them

Casual, used with braided, webbing, and canvas belts

Snap

“Male” and “female” ends snap together like a seat belt

Very casual and functional, often used by those engaging in outdoor pursuits

Not to be confused with snap belts
