Why do we care about repairs?

Every product we make here at Buckaroo is held to the highest standard because we know you're going to use it – a lot. While you might change your work attire from summer to winter, a Buckaroo tool belt is worn regardless of the temperature.

We get chucked in the back of the ute. We get worn in the snow, the rain and on the most ridiculously hot outback sites – from the Pilbara to Tennant Creek. But guess what? Every time you wear your belt, it gets better. It becomes more supple, shapes itself around your body and becomes easier to put on and take off, now that your suspenders are fixed in just the right place.

At some point, our stuff might break. And yes, when something breaks, the answer may be to buy new. But with that comes the sacrifice of your perfect, worn‑in fit – so why not consider a repair?

As the creators and makers of our product, we are here to help.

Why Do We Care About Repairs?

It’s in our DNA to repair and care for our products long after we’ve put the goods in your hands. It reflects how we value the old, respect the beautiful natural textile that is leather, and uphold the value of good, honest design. We want to be part of the global conversation around overconsumption and waste. We care because it's important to us to extend the life of the product you’ve purchased with thoughtful consideration.

We also know you care. Use of reclaimed and recycled building materials rose dramatically after COVID. Upskilling in sustainability and green building also increased. As a result, we’ve seen artisan builders offer lifelong guarantees, warranting their craftsmanship for as long as a family lives in a house. Shifting towards longevity and extending the life cycles of products and practices is a conversation worth continuing.

We all love that favourite pair of jeans or boots, and your tool belt is no different. We’ve seen Buckaroo products journey with tradespeople for decades – moving with you interstate and, in some cases, abroad.

Our gear is durable, designed and made by us not just to last, but to journey and evolve with you.

By repairing, we aim to honour the story each Buckaroo tool belt tells. So let us help you enjoy that well‑loved piece for just a bit longer, head over to our repairs portal for an assessment and see what we can do for you.
