New kilt belt
This is my first effort at a belt. It's 3".

Got so excited, I did a sporran belt. Kilt belt has Chicago screws, sporran belt is riveted. Chiseled edges and all. Stained today and just polished. Too sore to kilt up for appropriate display. Later this week I hope.

Thanks Father. I look forward to getting kilted up at least by Saturday. We have a big family party Saturday and really, what I needed was a decent kilt belt. Surprised myself.

NICE! Where'd you get the leather from? I'd love to make a brown one but the widest I can find is 2 inches :0(

Nice looking belts Frank. What leather did you use for them?

Looks great, I especially like the sporran belt. I need to make a matching set too.

Good old midwestern U.S. cowhide (maybe from Missouri!), veg tan, double shoulder, 8-9 oz. Cut two more 3" blanks and two 2 1/4" for my acrylic kilt. Needed to get these done before big family party next Saturday, will work on others as time permits. Got my leather local from a guy who has a website and sells all over. Good fellow, check him out.
