Vintage Jabba the Hutt Belt Buckle with Bonded Leather Belt by Lee

I posted about Lee’s Jabba the Hutt belt buckle several years ago, but what I didn’t realize at the time is that they sold both standalone buckles and buckles on belts. It’s got the same cool brass buckle as the standalone version, but permanently attached to a belt.

Similar to the full-color “Return of the Jedi” belt that Lee also made, this appears to be made of bonded leather. It’s got an interesting embossed dot pattern on the leather if you look closely.

I’m not sure if they made more of the plain buckles or if people were more likely to save them, but I’ve seen very few of the complete belts available for sale, while the buckles are quite easy to find. Like the elastic Jabba the Hutt belts that Lee also made, these are relatively rare, if not particularly valuable.
