Keep Your Original Buckle. Replace the Worn Leather.
If the leather strap on your R.M.Williams belt is worn, cracked or stretched but the buckle is still in good condition, you don't necessarily need to replace the entire belt.
At BeltUp, we make premium full-grain leather replacement straps in our Brisbane workshop, designed to work with R.M.Williams double-buckle belt hardware.
Choose from 32mm or 38mm replacement straps and reuse your existing buckle. Our replacement straps can be fitted using Chicago screws for an easy DIY solution, or contact us about professional restitching for a traditional stitched finish.
Made in Brisbane from premium Italian vegetable-tanned leather.

Which Replacement Strap Do I Need?
Most R.M.Williams double-buckle belts use either a 32mm or 38mm wide leather strap.
If your existing strap is approximately 32mm wide:
Choose our 32mm Replacement Strap.
If your existing strap is approximately 38mm wide:
Choose our 38mm Replacement Strap.
If your original buckle is stitched onto the leather:
You can convert it to a removable buckle using Chicago screws, or contact BeltUp about having your original buckle professionally stitched onto your new strap.
Not sure which one you need?
Send us a photo of your existing belt and buckle and we'll help you identify the right replacement.
How to Measure
Measure the width of the leather strap where it passes through the buckle.
Don't confuse this with the size printed on your belt — that refers to the belt's length or waist size, not the width of the leather strap.
Keep the Buckle You Already Love
A worn leather strap doesn't necessarily mean the entire belt needs replacing.
If your original R.M.Williams buckle is still in good condition, a replacement strap allows you to keep the buckle and simply replace the worn leather.
It's a practical way to extend the life of your belt while upgrading the part that receives the most wear.

“I needed to replace my original RMWilliam strap of my Western belt, to keep using my favourite buckle... I saw Belt’up online and it just fit the brief... The belt now looks new again in the color I wanted.”

Option 1: Fit Your Buckle with Chicago Screws
Our replacement straps can be supplied ready to accept your existing buckle using Chicago screws.
This creates a secure attachment while also allowing the buckle to be removed or changed in the future.
It's the simplest option for customers who are comfortable transferring their buckle themselves.
Option 2: Professional Restitching
Prefer to keep the traditional stitched finish?
BeltUp can professionally attach compatible original buckles to a new leather strap in our Brisbane workshop.
Contact us before ordering if you'd like us to assess your existing belt and buckle for restitching.
Upgrade to Full-Grain Italian Leather
Our Australian Made replacement straps are made from premium Italian full-grain vegetable-tanned leather.
Rather than replacing your entire belt, you can retain the hardware you already own and upgrade the worn strap with quality leather made for years of use.
Each strap is prepared and finished by BeltUp in our Brisbane workshop.
Replacement Straps for Larger Sizes
Need a longer replacement strap?
BeltUp specialises in an extensive range of belt sizes, including plus-size and extended-length options.
Check the available sizes on the individual replacement strap product page, or contact us if you're unsure which size you need.

“Great product - refreshed my work belt at a fraction of the cost of the an RM replacement. The leather is solid and it was easy to fit the buckle etc on the new leather using the Chicago screws which actually make the belt feel more solid than the stitching on the original.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I replace just the leather on my R.M.Williams belt?
Yes. If your buckle and hardware are still in good condition, you may be able to replace the worn leather strap and continue using your original buckle.
Can I reuse my original R.M.Williams buckle?
In many cases, yes. BeltUp's 32mm and 38mm replacement straps are designed to accommodate compatible double-buckle belt hardware.
If you're unsure, send us a photo of your belt and buckle before ordering and we'll help check compatibility.
Do I need a 32mm or 38mm replacement strap?
Measure the width of your existing leather strap where it passes through the buckle.
If it measures approximately 32mm, select the 32mm replacement. If it measures approximately 38mm, select the 38mm replacement.
My buckle is stitched onto my old belt. Can I still use it?
Yes, depending on the buckle and construction of your existing belt.
It may be possible to convert the buckle to a removable Chicago-screw attachment or have it professionally stitched onto the new strap.
Can BeltUp attach my original buckle?
We can assess compatible buckles for professional fitting or restitching in our Brisbane workshop.
Contact us with a photo of your existing belt and buckle before sending anything to us.
Are BeltUp replacement straps made in Australia?
Yes. Our Australian Made replacement straps are prepared and finished by BeltUp in our Brisbane workshop using premium Italian full-grain vegetable-tanned leather.
What if I'm not sure whether my buckle will fit?
Send us a clear photo of the buckle and existing belt, ideally with a measurement showing the width of the leather strap.
We'll help you identify the most suitable replacement before you order.
Give Your Favourite Belt a New Life
If the buckle still has years left in it, there's no reason to retire the whole belt because the leather strap has worn out.
Choose a 32mm or 38mm BeltUp replacement strap, keep your original buckle and give your belt a fresh start with premium full-grain leather.
