You'd think it would be easy enough, but nooooooooooooo.

I wonder how hard it would be to ditch the old buckles (if the belt was good, but the buckle sucked), and get newer ones? I'm sure there's a YT video somewhere.
If they were rivets, it wouldn't be a big deal. My current belt is sown, so that would be more difficult. I don't particularly like my current belt, but I think it was relatively cheap. It's a Timberland. I expected it to last longer, but the buckle metal is not holding up.

These are what Hank uses to connect the belt around the buckle.
