A Non-traditional Kilt Belt?

**taipei personality** · 25th July 06, 12:37 PM

Thanks, guys. Tandy has a 2" belt blank but I'm no leather worker. The Home Depot belt might be a better bet.

Phil Cunningham (no, not that one.)

Just remembered these guys

Next best option might be Amerikilt

I think the hard part is going to be to find a 2.25" buckle. Parade store sold the buckle by itself but then you need to build the belt.

If you're interested, I can help you out with that.

Hmmm... too dang many Phil's around here :rolleyes: - oh yeah where are my manors, welcome and good luck with a belt. I now have two home brew belts - one brown, one black - its a pretty darn quick and easy project if you're so inclined.

I purchased one of the clansman's belt from the Scottish Tartan Museum last month. They needed 3 to 4 weeks to get it in from their supplier. It is well worth the price and the wait. I bought the dark brown one. It matched my current sporran better. I'll tell more about it and post some pics when I get my latest creation finished.

Dangerous Threads on eBay also has some 2" wide brown belts with a plain brass buckle. I bought one and it was too small. I will post some pics tonight and see if anyone is interested. The guy on eBay has other sizes and I will be getting a correct sized one shortly.

The link above to the Tartan Museum shop has some Buzz Kidder belts. They are about the thickest bull leather you could ever find with a heavy single holer buckle. I'm looking at getting one. O'Neille

That's why I like mine. It's just so "substantial."
