No, there is no "studding". Double-holes may show up as studding on your monitor but are just that: double-holes for the double prongs on the belt. The single stud you see on his left side connects his waist belt and his sword belt.

Thanks, Rex.

Actually the belt is studded, at least it is if it's the same one he wore for the Architectural Digest shoot.

And if you look at the pic above with the Duchess you can see the other side of the belt and there are studs. I can see the pattern when enlarged clearly and it resembles no belt prong hole layout I've ever seen!

My apologies, I didn't realise we had jumped back four or five pages to the AD cover pic.

Excellent! What a cool belt! I believe the late Duke of Windsor wore a similar belt (it may have been up for auction along with his complete Highland evening kit), it may even be the same one.

Where can i get a belt like that? Also what about the buckel?

I should think your first port of call would be Hamilton & Inches.

I'm quite sure HRH's belt has been passed down through the generations and is bespoke. As far as the latter is concerned, you would probably have to go the same route and contact a silversmith for the buckle design and creation, and a someone who works with fine leathers and has knowledge of belt making. Off the top of my head, I would suggest contacting Ian Grant of Edinburgh or Roddy Young of Inverness for the buckle, and McRostie's of Glasgow, or our own resident sporran/belt maker, Artificer for the belt. A belt like this may run into a bit of money, but then again, most high-quality, well made items (bespoke or not) typically do!
