Belt for Survival UK

Go to almost any fleamarket and yo will find a guy selling three hole black or brown belts for $5. They do work, but only last about a year or so. It'll at least hold you over till you can find something better.

Of all my kilt belts I still like the ones AmeriKilt sells. Wide and basic and sturdy. You can order brown if you request it. May just show black on the website. Wear them with all my UKs too.

I appreciate the info. But, I am broke right now. I have to use what I got. I brought the Kilt an belt in to work this morning. I am hoping the boss can take a pic with his camera.

Ok, I got the photo posted at http://photos.yahoo.com/docwalke
You should be able to see it there.

I think it is a neat combination. The belt goes well with khaki BDU's so I think it should go well with the Survival UK.

I think it looks Fine man, If you are looking for a brown style I would sugest the Marine Corps Section of the Closest PX they wear a tan belt the same style for the Marine Martial Arts training system they have. I always took the Shoulder strap off a "C" bag and walked it over the the parachute riggers (stich B!@#)
and asked them to make a belt for me. the belts they made worked great.
I used them for years each and if I had rings or anything they could add it to the rig for me. I once had a Real nice climbing belt made.

Just a sugestion..
If you go with the "C" bag thing try to find an old style bag the newer ones the retaining system blows.

Follow up for you that responded. I wore the UK Survival Kilt and instructors belt to our Highland Foundation picnic this weekend. I knew I would be outside sweating all day, getting dirty, and near food so I left the tank at home. The survival was very comfortable. The belt looked great, if not very appropriate for the kilt. Interestingly, I got more "I like it" comments on the shirt than the kilt or the belt. The shirt is from a local sod farm that a friend owns. The back has a cartoon of a roll of sod and "We Roll Quality Grass" on it.

Take a look at the first page at http://docwalker.smugmug.com/ and you can see it.
