With the resurgence of the trucker hat and other similar articles, the redneck look is in. Deciding on a belt buckle can be a life changing experience for anyone with aspirations for looking low class. Where should you look? What should you buy? Here are some options.


The internet is a wonderful place, and it's no slouch when it comes to belt buckles. It seems as though anything that could ever be imagined is available in buckle form. There is a belt buckle which holds an Ipod, allowing quick access to your mp3's without having to carry them anywhere.

Another buckle is made from an old-school Nintendo controller. A lot of stores sell these, but you can also find them online.

Digital belt buckles are coming into prominence. There is a LED belt buckle, allowing you to input whatever message you'd like scrolling across your waist. Bigtimegear.com offers it for about $30.

Egokast makes a video belt buckle, which displays different "fragments" that come along with it, most of which look very psychedelic. There are different downloadable videos every week, and users can up any other videos to the belt. The downside is that it costs nearly $300, but can you put a price on fashion?

On the more traditional side, there are a few stores that offer a wide array of buckles. At the Gibraltar Trade Center in Mt. Clemens as well as Taylor, there's a store dedicated to western clothing, with a fairly sized selection of buckles. Roseville houses The Road Show, which also has a pretty wide selection. Go get 'em, cowboy.
