isn't that small curved tab/ tongue thing on the buckle meant to run the leather belt around it to bite into the strap and friction brake it? when used like the lower pic there it does look nice but it always slides loose with wear especially when pressure is applied like when you wear it as side buckle and you wear the jacket to squat or to reach forward, the waist strap will slide off the buckleIs it because the sleeves always get caught? If so, I just reversed looped the cinching tab. Not D rings but the buckle also doesn't catch and scratch the sleeves.

Yes, by Aero. Got a zip replaced at the same time. D-rings are the only side adjusters I really want on jackets and I've found that they stay in place.Where did you get the job done? Here in UK?
Most of the friction happens around the U bend. The tongue does check things in place, sort of, but it also catch onto the sleeves. I just loop it the reverse way, but it works the same as looping from the top. D rings are better because its round and smooth and there is nothing sticking out to catch onto something.isn't that small curved tab/ tongue thing on the buckle meant to run the leather belt around it to bite into the strap and friction brake it? when used like the lower pic there it does look nice but it always slides loose with wear especially when pressure is applied like when you wear it as side buckle and you wear the jacket to squat or to reach forward, the waist strap will slide off the buckle
I like your outfit. Nice and easy. The jacket and the flat cap add a touch of style. Also can’t go wrong with black and denim color combo.Vanson Enfield

Lookin great Terry, slimmer, as navetsea noted. Pretty soon you'll fit in 40!
There is so many more vintage out there to buy if you’re a small size like 36-46. Just my thought.Lookin great Terry, slimmer, as navetsea noted. Pretty soon you'll fit in 40!
