I'm a new member who just received his first kilt yesterday - so I'm sure this idea isn't new - but I thought I'd try to post a pic of my $16 kilt belt. It's a Husky 2" leather tool belt from Home Depot ($9.90). Just add leather dye ($4.95) from the shoe store, two or three coats of shoe polish, some elbow grease, and wait a couple of days for the gosh awful smell to settle down.
