Nocona Mens Oval Cowboy Prayer Buckle

Your belt buckle is the one piece of gear you put on every morning, so it may as well say something. This one carries a prayer in the middle of an oval face: a cowboy kneeling at a cross with his horse behind him. It reads as sincere on a working belt and still looks right at church or in town.

The oval is the classic shape that sits well on a leather belt without crowding the strap. A raised floral design frames the scene, and the silver finish has a beaded edge. If the buckle on your belt is scuffed or due for a change, this is a quick swap that gives the belt a new look without buying a new one.

Highlights

• Oval buckle that measures about 3 1/8 by 3 7/8 inches
• Cowboy kneeling at a cross, with his horse behind him
• Raised floral design around the scene
• Silver finish with a beaded edge
• Made for men's belts

Why a buckle can change the whole look

A buckle is the cheapest way to change up a belt you already own. Keep your everyday strap and swap the hardware when you want a different look. Oval buckles have been a Western standard for years, and they sit flat and clean on a belt.

It suits a man who wants a faith-themed piece for Sunday, a gift for a rancher or a rodeo dad, or a simple buckle that tells people what he values. It works on a working belt at the barn and on a dressier belt for a night out.

How to use it

Measure the strap width where the buckle will sit before you buy, since a buckle is made for a belt of a set width. Thread the strap through the buckle, fold the tip back under the keeper, and cinch to fit.

Keep the buckle centered on the front of the belt, and make sure the tongue sits in the hole that fits your waist best. A centered buckle looks deliberate, and it keeps the belt from sliding.

Good to know

• Pair it with a plain leather belt for a dressier look, or with work jeans and a canvas coat for ranch wear.
• Wear it with a pearl-snap shirt and jeans for church or a Saturday in town, and keep the rest of the look plain so the scene is the focus.
• Wipe the silver with a soft dry cloth after a dusty day, and keep it out of damp places so it stays bright.
• Store the buckle in a small dish away from other metal that can scratch it.
• When you swap buckles, take the belt along to check that the strap fits the buckle's opening.
