There are lots of threads on the board about belts and straps. Search through them for some ideas. I picked up one at a thrift shop, others have gone to department stores and picked them up. Also the sporran straps you can either cut down a larger belt or make one. R-Kilts has a beautiful braided strap that he makes, Stillwater sells the straps as do some other places, you might want to check with Bearkilts too. I picked up a used sporran and strap on e-bay. Just be patient and look around there are alot of options.

My black braided sporran belt from R-Kilts arrived yesterday afternoon, I am very pleased with it. It is a high quality item and is well worth the price. :grin:

I recently did a search for a kilt belt and there is not much out there less than $30 US. After buying a black plain belt with a silver buckle on eBay for $35 at Carse of Gowrey, I saw a similar one from Stillwater kilts for $30. The only other option is to watch for a used belt auction on eBay.

You will have a lot of results if you search for sporran strap. Usually kilt belts and sporran straps get discussed together.

I have a brown and a black sporran strap from Robert at RKilts and they are great! He also has different shades of brown to chose from. Here are the 2 he made for me:

I got a decent "Sam Brown" duty belt (2¼") at the local uniform shop for under $30. Duty belts are made to hold equipment, so they're made extra stiff. They won't deform and dip down below the waist like many belts will.



I was hoping to find a "Ranger" duty belt (also 2¼") like this, and was willing to pay the $50+ for it, but they didn't have any, and I needed it that night.

i do like the looks of that ranger belt..( rubs chin and thinks )
question, can robert at r-kilts make the braiding longer, say with less straping and more braid ? and with brass metal parts ?

Yes Robert can make a longer braided section and less strapping and yes Robert has the brass hardware and yes Robert can make a ranger belt.
The question is when Robert can do the above?
