The Scottish Tartan Museum has some belts. Look towards the bottom of this page:

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.

Mike Butler at AmeriKilts has a guy who makes up his belts for him as needed. I'm sure he's flexible. Just ask about the brass buckle. Asking is how I got my first AK brown belt before they were offered regularly.

Well, took the plunge and bought the 2" belt blank at Tandy. It took about three hours to finish, but I cut lines and chamfered and polished the edges. The dye is mahogany. Forgive my lousy camera, but here are the results:

I'm pretty pleased with the way it came out. Thanks for the guidance, all!

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."

i'm planning on getting at least the sporran, and probably the belt too - wicked good prices on both.
