Howdy! 

A Prized Possession 

That Stands the Test of Time  

Our great country's history has included cowboys for over a century, and while times have changed, cowboys have actually changed very little They still portray the weather-beaten, rough-handed, hardworking, dedicated spirit, They still don faded blue jeans, dusty boots, ,Well-worn hats and, the most cherished item -f their ensemble, a belt buckle. Owning a fine belt buckle is a tradition similar to owning a ranch - something special to pass down from generation to generation.

Many people represent modern examples of the cowboy persona and Western heritage. One gentleman, Clint Orms, has discovered his niche to maintain traditions of the Old West, and, in some ways, revive Texas history. Clint designs and creates top-of-the-line belt buckles in his shop, Clint Orms Engravers & Silversmiths, located in the beautiful Hill-Country town of Ingram, Texas.

 "My experiences have been an accumulation of one building block on top of another," Clint shares, in his deliberate, yet quiet tone. To get where Clint is today, he attributes his initial talents and passion to his own heritage.

Clint was born with the cowboy lifestyle and mentality that, he admits, were traits passed down through the genes. Clint's dad retired from rodeo competition in the 1950s and has worked in the Western clothing industry ever since. His grandmother was an excellent clothing designer and seamstress who made dresses for her five daughters, sewing stylish yoked Western shirts with scrap material. One might say Clint began his illustrious career at 12 years old, when he polished cast brass belt buckles for his father's company. When Clint was 13, he began making hand-tooled, custom leather belts. By 15, Clint made his first belt buckle. "I started making buckles because I realized that the leather may wear out, fade ... or get too small!" Clint says with a grin. "Somehow and sometimes belts must have a way of shrinking - at least that's what my customers say because they need Me to make them one or two inches larger." So Clint made up his mind that he wanted to pursue buckle making, not only because a buckle can last forever (or at least many lifetimes but also because as a rough stock ride himself, Clint observed repeatedly cowboys took immense pride in their buckles...
