oh, one more question.... anyone know where I can get the belts and buckles? we dont have any leather shops over here, and I dont have any leather tools, so if someone has just simple sets for kilts, or you know where to find them, that would be great. I know Stillwater was or is saling them, but Im not a real big fan of those ones, they seem a little to wide and thin. I'd like something like you would see on a nice, well constucted kilt. Any ideas?

There is nothing at all wrong with the Stillwater straps and buckles. They are fine quality, so much better than some I've seen on old military kilts, or Ebay specials, and such.

If you truly prefer narrower straps made from thicker leather, then thrift stores (belts, boots, purses, women's kilted skirts, etc.) or mail order houses such Tandy/Leather Factory may be sources for you to cut your own.

Thanks again Barb! As I said, you're the best! I'm still holding onto that piece of tartan I want you to turn into one of your works of art for me, times are a little tight right now tho, thats why i haven't sent it your way yet. One of these days tho :-D

I have a stillwater heavy weight, I love the kilt, its great for the money, but I dont care for the straps. The qualities ok, just not great. I want something a little thicker and narrower. thats all. No insult to Jerry or his kilts. I love um, just not what Im lookin for. thanks for the suggestions too I'll look into those.
