About

Howdy from the Western Heritage Staff!

Located in beautiful Downtown Loveland, Colorado, WHC is a family-owned and operated company
specializing in custom cast belt buckles.  Started in Encampment, Wyoming, back in 1976 when
former Ranger Pat Lynch created the first official US Forest Service belt buckle.  We still
outfit the Forest Service with their uniform buckle and have almost 3000 other designs in
addition to that.  Branching from buckles to apparel to gifts & awards, WHC is your one-stop
shop for your Natural Resource Agency needs.


With our limited space and staff, we make almost all custom items as they are ordered.
Please make sure to order plenty in advance, as some processes are just not fast.
