Dress like a champion with nickel silver belt buckles with engraving and brass cast-metal figures. These truly Western accents originated in the 1930s as rodeo prizes, and are still used that way—but you can get ‘em without enduring the saddle sores first ($75–$150, Melet Mercantile, 212/925-8353).
