Chisholm’s Trail is now producing Western movie and historic vintage belt buckles, badges & jewelry. We decided to do this as a result of the majority of companies that are discontinuing items of the old west. In our quest to outsource to US small businesses only, we have located a highly skilled designer and a casting source for brass, white bronze, Sterling Silver and gold. Our castings are from virgin brass- not melted down artillery shells filled with impurities. We will continue to collect and reproduce new and unique buckles, badges & jewelry found in the American West. All of our items are heavy duty. No tinny buckles found here. If you have a unique buckle share it with us we’d like to make it !
Western belt buckles are our forte.

All nickel buckles are commercially plated and have an additional $5 charge.

Engraved buckles may come with a black background for an additional $5 charge.

 

NEW : Most of our buckles can now be hand cast one at a time from solid sterling silver. Price based on silver cost of the day (In Stock)
SPECIAL NOTE: At the bottom of the page see our new Indian Collection including American Indian chokers and ear rings.

Indian replicas not made by Native Americans as defined by 2.5 USC & 305 ET SEQ.

OLD WESTERN MOVIE PANT BELT BUCKLE COLLECTION

The majority of the pant belts worn in the golden age of both TV and major Western movies were either 1 1/2″ or 1 3/4″ wide and made from thinner 7-8 gauge, vegetable tanned, tooling leather. They had to be thinner to go comfortably through these narrow buckles. There were several styles of decoration on these belts. Either plain, with an edge groove ~ $99.95, with one line of decorative edge stamping add ~ $10, with basket weave, or floral hand carved add ~ $49.95. Your color choices can be found on the on the home page. The tongue of the belts can be ordered with 5 or 7 holes, both with 3/4″ between holes for better adjustment. The belt tongues can be spear point, sharp point, round point, or blunt point.

There are some subtle differences between buckles in some of these photos, but all were used in the movies. We are the FIRST makers to finally sort these out and provide a correct listing. Our buckle choices found in Western movies and prices are below. Buckles are sourced in the USA. Don’t confuse these with commercially available, thin foreign “pot metal” – chap buckles.

BJ -2A ~ Delores’s Western World buckle

(IN STOCK) We were contacted by the wardrobe department for the TV series and provided them with several unique styles of buckles. Here is the one used for Delores.

Note the small rings on either side of the metal tongue – the mark of a quality buckle. Also the cross piece (bale) that the metal tongue rides on is closer to the back so the leather belt will lay better when buckled.

PALADIN

PALADIN

The series ran from 1957 to 1963. Boone chose the Chess Knight because of its ability to make so many moves. One original is in the National Cowboy Museum, another is in the Cody Museum. We are friends with the curator in both museums and have been able to source sizes and designs. In addition we have another friend who has an exact replica. Many other copies are very poor and do not look anything like the original or have any way of attaching to leather. Ours is hand crafted of Solid Sterling Silver and has the original style of leather attachment. These must be used with lined holsters or other applications. This is not a thin or tinny concho. It is 2 1/8″ x 1 1/8″. Supply is very limited and price is dependent on the current silver price that seems to raise daily.

In 1960 the Mag Seven movie cast Eli Wallach as the evil Mexican Bandito Calvera. On the tongue end of his gun belt he wore a huge 2 1/4″ gorgeous ornate round concho. We worked diligently with our native jeweler trying to see various views and enhancing  photos of the movie concho to come up with this correct replica. Often a Spanish family had its crest or a symbol of their rancho on these. This solid white bronze concho is held on securely with two Chicago screws to prevent movement. We copyrighted this one and you can own your replica today ~ $79.95

Western belt buckles

our western buckles in Old West museums in Texas, Arizona, Montana, Wyoming, New Mexico and other Old West locations. Chisholms Trail Leather western buckles have been selected by Hollywood movie armorers for several western movies during the last decade, including 3:10 to Yuma (bad guys’ holsters, buckles, belts), The Legend Of Hell’s Gate, Cowboys & Aliens, an upcoming Val Kilmer western about Doc Holliday, and even Miley Cyrus’ belt buckles and holsters and belts for her most recent western world tour. If you strive for a premier product that is what you will get from Chisholms Trail Leather. We know of no other company that makes the quality, diversity and authentic western movie and vintage historic buckles that we do. We have researched the real thing, then Chisholms Trail Leather western buckles are what you are looking for, partner. Give us a call and make your order. We’re the real thing.

Chisholm’s Trail Leather is constantly searching museums and curio shops in the real Old West. Every year, we travel to locations such as Dodge City, El Paso, Abliene, Tucson, Tombstone and other towns steeped in the history of the Old West. We carefully examine the real articles, many over 100 years old. We are often required to wear white cloth gloves, to protect aging historic gun leather damage from elements or human hands. We measured, photographed and analyzed Geronimo’s original gear, for instance. That is one of the reasons that Hollywood armorers and producers have come to rely on the authenticity of our Cowboy gear. Not many people devote the kind of time and research into their work the way that Chisholm’s Trail does. Care. Precision. Craft. Artistry. Experience. That’s Chisholm’s Trail Leather.
Buckles are one of our fortes. Authentic western movie and historic vintage buckles. What you see in the movies may have come from us. You see, Hollywood producers ask their armorers to find the real thing. Everyone involved with cowboy movies wants it to live and breathe the reality of that bygone era. Our buckles are one of the keys to making that happen. Sunlight glints off the bronze, copper, silver and other metals used in the fabrication of the buckles and catches the eye. Buckles are as much decorative as they are functional, for holding up your britches. If you want real, you want Chisholm’s Trail Leather buckles.
We cast our buckles in the time-honored traditional methods used when those buckles of the Old West were cast. We used thick and heavy metal, solid and true. We don’t want anything substandard with our imprint on it. Only materials that we hope will last a lifetime. Unless Johnny Ringo shoots at it, that is. But even then, our gear is liable to surprise you.
