| | | Military Surplus belts...casual but good
Sportsman's Guide has some really nice belts right now.
If you're looking for something to perk up your casual kilt you might want to take a look at these. I ordered both and am very happy with them.
Hungarian Parade Belt: http://www.sportsmansguide.com/cb/cb.asp?a=119377
Italian Police Belt (VERY COOL!) http://www.sportsmansguide.com/cb/cb.asp?a=163092

Good find. This one caught my eye, 2.25" and $20.00. Dang, just realized they only have it in size 44.
Best regards,
Jake

Yes, that's a good one, too, but too large for me as well.
Take a look at Orchard Supply Hardware or your local Sears (for those of you in the Colonies)...specifically you are looking for the "Craftsman" 3" leather tool belt. Should be with the belts and tool rigs in the hardware section. It is an awesome 3" belt, dark chocolate brown with a double keeper. I think it costs all of $18 US.
It looks just like this here but a little darker.

I have been thinking of getting one of my old unit belts, removing the canvas and putting a leather belt on the buckle. It would make a great kilt belt.

Best regards,

| | | Kilt Belts
Expensive maybe, but I have my eye on one these belts: http://www.kilts-n-stuff.com/Highlan...ilt_belts.html They seem to offer the thickness and the ability to adjust their size.
If I could find one less costly - even better.

A Dress kilt belt and buckle for $22.50 is unheard of.
