??? Does any one have any Kilt scraps ????

[Norbo]

Ok so im looking for some kilt straps to replace the ones on my new kilt as id like some thicker ones not as thick as the 2 strap kilts they are 38mm I was thinking of around 30mm like my Hunting pride of Scotland one.

So does any one have any spare ones or know were I can get some

Easiest to get a friendly leather-worker to make 'em up if yours have "died."

I know I can just get a few cheep belts from a car boot to do the job if I can fined 3 the same but its unlikely I will fined 3 the same unless they are new and then they will cost money . I was hoping a kilt maker on her may have some they could do me cheep .

I found those in a minute or so of searching. No doubt there are others.

Cheers,

the middle one looks best if you get all 3 for the $10 id still need to fined something to put on the buckle part to stich it to the kilt . The ones I want to replace have the buckle part stitched direct to the kilt

Here's a scoop, Norbo. It's like that on all kilts!

I found a place in the uk now 1.25" 3 straps and buckles £8 delivered . so I just need to get some material to put threw the buckle to attach to the kilt im away. Ill use some black stuff from some old breeks if I have to but I asked if they had anything they could send and any scrap to make some flashes with red or black as they say they make kilts .

Buckles like these are a little nicer than the ones that come standard on kilt sets:

The tongues are thicker that the common kilt buckle, so the holes in the straps will need to be enlarged.

ETA: I'd avoid L&M Highland like the plague. I recently attempted to place a small order with them and they wanted over $80 in shipping, with the option of paying over $300 for the fastest shipping. They don't let you know this ahead of time. You have to go through all BS of setting up an account before you can actually finalize an order and see what you're being charged. L&M Highland will never see a dime of my money, and I strongly advise others to avoid doing business with them.

Beginning Boy, L&M is a very reputable company. I believe the problem has to do with steep international shipping between the U.S. and Canada. Sorry you feel that way, friend.

Our pipe band acquired the entire set of kilts from another band, and the straps/buckles showed a bit of variety, being of two different widths, and some buckles being nice heavy cast ones and some being cheap stamped ones.

I've been going through the kilts trying to standardize things.
