    From what I've seen, there not a 'standard' belt people wear with kilts. The buckle is genereally large though. Go to a local leather shop. They should have the tools and material you need.

    Here's a couple of website that deals with belt making

    pretty much a strip of leather 3 in wide (or maybe less) with a folded closure on one end and a ring on the other to hook into!

    This is probably the best thread on Making your own Sporran

    I bought my leather at Michael's crafts for my first sporran. Now that the holidays are here, there's a guy in our local mall selling leather goods, along with big pieces of scrap leather for $5 - $10 per roll. You might check the phone book under leather. Or, you can order pieces directly from Tandy.
