Vintage Levi’s black leather belt featuring an attractive deeply tooled Western-style pattern and a large three-dimensional bulldog statement buckle.
The buckle is a Siskiyou Buckle Co. “Bulldog Spirit” buckle dated 1992, made in the USA. The detailed bulldog design features a spiked collar, aggressive expression and bone in its mouth. The reverse is marked “BULLDOG SPIRIT,” “U8 Made in U.S.A.,” and “© 1992 Siskiyou Buckle Co. Inc., Ashland Oregon.”
Important: The Siskiyou bulldog buckle appears to be a replacement and is not represented as the belt’s original Levi’s buckle. Because changing the buckle can alter the effective sizing of a belt, the original stamped size should not be relied upon for fit. Please use the hand measurements provided below.
The current configuration measures 36-1/2 inches from the buckle prong to the first hole and 40 inches to the last hole, making Size 38 the best practical eBay size designation.
A great vintage combination with strong Western, biker, ranch, rockabilly or statement-belt appeal.

There is wear around some adjustment holes and normal wear to the leather edges and reverse.
The metal bulldog buckle shows age-related patina, surface wear and discoloration consistent with a vintage 1992 buckle.
The buckle appears to be a replacement and is not believed to be the belt’s original Levi’s buckle. Please review all photos carefully as they are an important part of the condition description.
