no I don't take my phone shopping .

yes , japan was on sale last year and cannibalized domestic retailers . I myself bought two bass guitars with jdm serials from an American wholesaler last year . that doesn't mean that I slag American retailers , in a post-pandemic environment no less . bravo you .

and ZOMG YES : retail is middleman . self edge sold ROY back when . you'd think there'd be a bit of grace from relentless lowest common denominator opportunism , meanwhile this guy's got his phone out in the shop . truly shameful ngl .

Jesus you communicate like a ******* tiktok 15 year old.

Question for the leathercraftsman in this thread.
I have this belt from Sid Mashburn and I switched out the buckle for a silver one. However, it now bothers tf out of me that the snaps and belt are mismatched. Is it possible to switch the snaps out without damaging the belt? Or just paint them brown to match the belt?

Yes it is possible, but probably not worth the effort, since the tail of the belt should cover the hardware when wearing the belt. If you want to do it, you'll need to pry off the snaps carefully, and find the same size snaps from Tandy or Amazon in whatever color you want, as well as a rivet/snap setter and anvil.

those snaps are for big western plate buckles . if it doesn't match get a different belt

It’s easier to drill out the snaps from the inside than pry them off. Any decent leather worker should be able to do it for you.
