A buckle system and a method of accommodating a plurality of stack-up configurations of the buckle system is provided. The buckle system includes a base assembly, a locking assembly, and a plurality of optional universal assemblies. Each universal assembly is configured to selectively engage with or be disengaged from the base assembly, thereby changing the stack-up of the buckle system. The locking assembly is configured to be secured to the base assembly, thereby securing the buckle system in its current stack-up configuration. The buckle system can be moved between stack-up configurations by adding and removing universal assemblies, as desired. Each universal assembly is configured to rotate about a vertical axis of the base assembly, thereby accommodating a variety of strap configurations. The locking assembly is configured to translate vertically relative to the base assembly, and to be secured at various vertical positions, thereby accommodating a variety of stack-up configurations.
