Hey guys, thanks for the compliments, especially kudos from Ham!

Ham and Phil picked out the only part of the ensemble that I myself am unhappy with, the belt! I was hoping to find one at the Gatlinburg Games, but the only one I found in brown was not really in a shade I liked, and was $55 to boot. The belt in the pic is the best I have found for a reasonable price, but is too narrow. The black belt I wear with most of my kilts is 1 3/4", which seems to be a good width. I would love to find a brown belt in a similar width, but I have been unsuccessful. If I can't, I might have to try Phil's self made belt.

I really like the Buzz Kidder casual kilt belts. The Scottish Tartans Museum also carries them.

The only problem is the brown may not be dark enough for you. The belts are wide, heavy leather that should last a LONG time.

Home Depot had some nice, wide, sturdy, natural colored, leather belts, meant for holding tools, embossed with a weave pattern. I expect one of those could be modified to handle a different buckle. If I knew how to stain them without ruining clothing, I might have gotten one. But I'm also waiting on a new brown belt from UK.

I can't find the item on the Home Depot website, but in the store they were near the small power tools and drill bits.
