    Just don't say that to Clan Donald! (There has been a history of lawsuits- One reason I tend to avoid that place-besides Ray Krok)

    That is a neat looking belt.
    Is it bought or homemade?


    Actually, it kindda reminds me of a weightlifting belt (which is good for the lower back).

    Now, I am interested in in (if only I had any $$$$$$$$$$).

    Well, for what its worth, this Ronald Macdonald prefers the 2 1/4" belts from AmeriKilts. Quality for a fair price.

    I do like that "weight belt" look though. Anything distinctive is good.

    And, I only eat at McDonald's about once a year to remind myself why I don't eat there.

    The belt was custom-made for me courtesy of Arthur Spelman Rose, who designed it. He refers to these belts as the "Three Roses Kilt Belt", and plans production of no more than 1000. Mine is #0341, is stamped with my initials, and came with a nice certificate of authenticity. The belts are actually constructed by Art's Amish friend, Joniah Hostetler, and are beautifully hand-crafted. The belt is a full 4" wide, of saddle-grade leather (gorgeous thick stuff!) with high-quality nickel hardware that is normally used only in horse tack. Sorry if I sound like a commercial, but I love this belt! I don't think he would mind that I give you all his contact info:

    Ahhhhh,

    You're holding out on the price....that means I can't afford it for sure.

    Sure is pretty to look at though.
