One-off belt buckles made just for you

Since you have absolutely no control over when you take your pants off, at least take some ownership of the thing that occasionally keeps them on, with Junkyard Designs belt buckles: an affordable, fully custom operation run by a guy with a day job in armored transport (you Waingro, boy). Simply drop him a line explaining what kind of design you want -- this can be anything, so long as it's not insanely complex (sorry, Dr. Gregory House) -- and he'll shoot a sketch your way for approval before etching the design into leather and painting it. You can also send him an old photograph, which he'll carefully affix to a blank nickel buckle before coating with epoxy resin, thus sealing in your memories forever, aka, "how long they've been playing those same two Seal songs on the radio".

To further accessorize, grab some of his hand-tooled leather goods, inspired by making his own motorcycle seat: moto-bags, belts, holsters, and billfolds with Sailor Jerry-influenced artwork -- a reminder that while your pants might be easy to remove, your wallet shouldn't be.
