Like so many other shooters I also own an old coat that has a few broken buckles on it. I have broken a few buckles over the years on my coat as well as an old shooting mat made by Creedmoor. I found that you can buy a replacement buckle for the old 1 inch wide buckle at Ace Hardware for less than $2. I usually carry a spare with me in my stool but used it at the last match. I bought 10 yesterday and they work just like the originals. I'm sure these buckles will also break long before my coat wears out. I haven't tried Lowe's or Home Depot but they were located in the rope, chain and webbing section at Ace Hardware. You can send the coat back for an update but for less than $2 you can buy a form fit and function replacement.

Replacment buckles for Creedmore Shooting Jacket
Sep 13, 2017
Service was great but found that the buckle design has been changed since I bought the jacket back in the 1990s. Male buckles were starting to break due to usage. Ordered replacement buckles and found I had to also change the female side of the buckle. Brought it to a leather shop to have female buckles changed since they are sewn on. All is good now.

Quick Release Buckle
Jul 1, 2017
The insert portion of a buckle on my Creedmoor coat had broken. I purchased a replacement set. I believe Creedmoor's website had said these were the same buckles as on Creedmoor coats. I had hoped to be able to use the insert half of the buckle set to replace the broken part. It slides onto the existing strap easily. But, it is is not compatible with the original receptor half on my coat. (It will not snap in) So, in order to use the replacemet buckle I will have to remove cut the thread on the existing receptor half and sew the new receptor side in. I had hoped to avoid any sewing. If I had known this, I could have just purchased a replacement buckle set at a local store. Once I get around to doing the sewing job, it should work fine. But, the replacement buckle set is not the same as the original buckles on my coat. For this reason, I will rate this as a 3 star.

Owner Response: William,
We appreciate your comments on the buckles, item G1100. They are the same buckles that are used on the coat if you use both the male and female piece. A few years ago, maybe 7-10 years now, the manufacturer changed the design a bit which makes them not work with buckles prior to that time. However, we'll be happy to sew the buckles on if you send in the coat to us. Or, a local tailor can probably do it for you.

I ordered the clips to replace the male half of the connection. They did not work, close but not quite, you must have changed the design in the last 10 years. I also have several other problems with the coat so I will be mailing ti to you after the summer. Bob Gustin

Owner Response: Robert, Thank you for submitting this review. The buckle design did change about 10 years ago. However, the male end does work with the female end that we sent to you. If you want to send them along with your coat for any repairs at the end of summer, we'll be happy to put them on for you.
