Thanks for the kind words, and let me thank Cavscout, who provided the fine materials and some of his excellent handiwork. There are a few goofs I made, but they don't stand out glaringly.

I really like the proportions of the 3" belt. I plan to make a different buckle for it, similar to a Sam Browne style. I also thought about a brass waistplate style buckle. Anyone do etching or engraving? I can curve the plate after the design is on.
