Kilt belt wire bail questions

[Moosedog]

Hello, All,

I know this has been discussed before but I can't seem to find a definitive answer here.

I need some bails--the wire loop at the end of a "traditional" kilt belt that hooks onto the buckle.

If I bend a stout wire hanger using a jig, will that be sufficient? If not, what should I use? Or is there another source for these little items?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

I recently got a dress belt and sporran strap from Robert at RKilts I know Robert made them, perhaps you could ask him who his supplier is?

Hi Moosedog,

I seem to remember them being called tabs. You might talk to cavscout, although, I didn't see them over there at his web site. He might know where to get them though.

On some hangers, the ones for skirts with the clips on them, have 1/8" chrome plated wire. I think it is worth a try.
