Surely somewhere in your area there will be a leatherworking shop...try a saddle / horse tack shop. They will be able to cut a strap any width for you. Leather in the 8-11 oz range is best for belts. If you are just starting out with leather work, check the Tandy leather company for starter kits that contain the basic tools you'll need.
Here's the one I started with and I highly recommend it.

Good luck. Leather work is as addictive as kilting!
