Where can I find a black patent leather (no stitching on edges) kilt belt?

[Kriegbert]

Looking to find a shiny & no-stitches showing formal belt to use with a new buckle I acquired, that I intend to use over a doublet, similar to how prince charles wore it over his velvet doublet. Can’t seem to find any suppliers? I'd like it to be patent leather to match my patent leather shoes. & without embossing/decoration of any kind.

Sorry did not mean 3 inch. I meant standard kilt belt width

I have no idea, but maybe there are some potential sources within this old thread:

I edited the title for you.
There might be a problem with the lack of stitching as patent leather is notoriously difficult to use for straps or under situations where it is under strain. It is usually attached to strengthening layers, with stitching.

Try Margaret Morrison (www.morrison-sporrans.co.uk) in Perth.

They are more than happy to take on individual and bespoke pieces at reasonable prices. I recently had them make up a brown leather belt with all brass fittings, to match a vintage item. £30.00 including postage, and its excellent work.

Or have a go at making one yourself, if you can source the leather. Any stiching or studding can be done by a high street shoe-repairs for a nominal fee.

Patent leather is tricky to work with, and it cracks. It's usually polished with petroleum jelly, to keep the surface supple.

They did not respond but house of labhran was more than happy to oblige!
