ABSTRACT:
A belt buckle cover includes a first connector portion, a second connector portion, and a third conformable portion located between said first connector portion and second connector portion. The first connector portion, the second connector portion and the third conformable portion are made of a scratch resistant material or fabric. Typically, one or two properly dimensioned pieces of scratch resistant fabric are used. One half of a two part fastener is attached to the first connector portion and the other half of a two part fastener is attached to the second connector portion. One half of a two part fastener is attached to one side of the scratch resistant fabric and the other half of a two part fastener is attached to the other side of the scratch resistant fabric. The conformable portion of the belt cover does not have any edges outside the out periphery of the belt buckle which may dig into the user to cause discomfort. This assures that the user will not find that the belt cover is uncomfortable and remove the belt cover for that reason.
In operation, the cover is quickly and easily placed over a belt buckle. The cover is initially placed behind the belt buckle so that the conformable portion is behind the belt buckle and the first connection portion and the second connection portion extend above and below the belt. The first portion is then folded over the front of the belt buckle to position one portion of the hook and loop fastener in an attachable position. The second portion of the cover is then folded over the front of the belt buckle to attach the second portion of the hook and loop fastener to the first portion of the hook and loop fastener. The cover may then be moved along the length of the belt to reposition the cover to a position where the belt buckle is in the middle of the cover.
