    Military Surplus belts...casual but good

    Sportsman's Guide has some really nice belts right now.
    If you're looking for something to perk up your casual kilt you might want to take a look at these. I ordered both and am very happy with them.

    Good find. This one caught my eye, 2.25" and $20.00. Dang, just realized they only have it in size 44.

    Best regards,

    Ever thought of cutting it down to size and punching new holes in it?

    For the price I couldn't pass that belt up. I ordered one even though I have a 36" waist. I figure if it's too long I can cut it to length, use a drill press to make new holes and color the raw edge in with a black sharpie. I'll post my opinion when the belt arrives. Thanks for the heads up.

    Yes, that's a good one, too, but too large for me as well.
    Take a look at Orchard Supply Hardware or your local Sears (for those of you in the Colonies)...specifically you are looking for the "Craftsman" 3" leather tool belt. Should be with the belts and tool rigs in the hardware section. It is an awesome 3" belt, dark chocolate brown with a double keeper. I think it costs all of $18 US.

    It looks just like this here but a little darker.

    That Craftsman 3" belt sounds really good, I must try and find one.

    The british Army web belts look wery good, particularly the 58 but more so the 37 especially if you can get it with brass fittings
