Over the past couple of weeks, we have gotten a few requests to review some more cost effective versions of some of our favorite pieces.  Well, we aim to please so we started poking around.  It didn’t take long for us to happen across a well priced stand in for the trusty engine turned Tiffany & Co. belt buckle.  Courtesy of J. Crew, you can now get a similar look for nearly 80% less with their Classic Leather Plaque Belt ($49.50).

Perfect for the person who likes the idea of an engine turned buckle but who isn’t quite ready to take the Tiffany plunge, the J. Crew Classic Leather Plaque Belt will be a suitable fill in for the foreseeable future.  Available with a 1″ black or classic brown strap (go with the brown, trust us), the silver plated brass buckle is antiqued to take off just a touch of shine.  Whether you throw it on with jeans, or your favorite grey trousers, this belt looks great with just about everything.
