The Hand Forged Howler Buckles are designed in conjunction with our friends at Cityboy Forge in Chicago, Illinois (www.cityboyforge.com). Each and every one is handmade by blacksmith Wes Groot; an artisan who spends his days standing over an anvil banging hot metal with a hammer until it turns into cool and original pieces of wearable art. Each buckle is highly customizable on the back with words of wisdom, geographic coordinates, girlfriend's names, battle cries or whatever else you want (within reason). Because each piece is custom, these buckles are available in limited quantities. Please allow 2-3 weeks for completion. Featuring forge pressed Howler Jolly Roger design in silver plated hammered steel.
