Its also pretty easy to replace the bail on a standard buckle so it will fit a wider belt.
The bail is the metal ring that the snap portion of the belt loops through to hold the buckle in place. Generally its just a bit of metal rod bent in place.
Home Depot carries rod of the same diameter in three foot lengths (its near the mounting hardware, hinges, etc...) really cheap. Use a pair of heavy duty pliers and clips to cut and bend the rod to length, and replace the piece that came with the buckle.
Generally the bail is just held in place by the spring tightness of the metal itself, and it fits into two cast holes in the back of the buckle.
.. the kilt had concealed a blaster strapped to one thigh and a knife to the other. He was aware of the present gentle customs against personal weapons, but he felt naked without them. Such customs were nonsense anyhow, foolishment from old women - there was no such thing as "dangerous weapons," only dangerous people.
