This is a classic that hasn't been available for several years because the factory that makes them thought they had lost the mould. But then it turned up so we asked them to run us a limited edition of these beauties.

Each of these solid-pewter belt buckles is three inches wide and two inches high. The face is raised and the detail is incredible. You can even see the etchings on the knob of the wrench. My friend, Larry Weingarten, has been wearing his for years. He glued a couple of rhinestones into the eye sockets. Classy touch!

I've been wearing mine everywhere I go and it always gets attention. Get yours while they last.

Here's to the ancestors who installed all that heavy gear that makes us look, and wonder, and admire. R.I.P., Dead Men. Thanks for all the lessons.
