Latigo Leather Kilt Belt and Keepers
I have been wanting to make one of these for a while, I have finally got around to going to our local Tandy leather and rounding up the supplies. I bought two 72 inch pieces of latigo, one at 2 inches, one at 3/4 of an inch. I had the snaps and rivets, and brass swivels, and contact cement ( which I had also picked up from Tandy a while back ). The 2 inch velcro was purchased at wally world.
I had bought the buckle off ebay and it is an Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders brass buckle. Once I had the goodies lined up, I went to work. It turned out pretty good , I think. The buckle can be changed out with others that fit standard kilt belts. I also made a couple of keepers, and keepers with the brass swivels.



I am not sure of the total cost, but just guessing it was $50 or $60.
