What is a Texas belt buckle?

A Texas belt buckle represents Texas pride and western culture. A Texas belt can fall into a few categories: the shape of the state, the Lone Star, something commemorating Texas history, or just a cool big buckle making a big statement. Texas belt buckles are like jewelry for your waist, not a traditional belt, but one made with craftsmanship and designed to last.

Why do Texans wear big belt buckles?

"Everything is bigger in Texas!" and belt buckles are no exception. Traditionally, they are given as rodeo trophies and commemorate important events in state history. That carried over into everyday western fashion. Wearing Texas-style buckles reminds you of home and shows off your Texas pride.
