A Non-traditional Kilt Belt?

**cavscout** · 25th July 06, 12:30 PM

I can't find the thread now, but Pour1Malt posted a link to the guy who made his wide kilt belt and buckle. You can see it in photos in this thread. Hopefully he'll pick up on this thread and post the link again.

Thanks, guys. Tandy has a 2" belt blank but I'm no leather worker. The Home Depot belt might be a better bet.

Phil Cunningham (no, not that one.)

Just remembered these guys

Next best option might be Amerikilt

I think the hard part is going to be to find a 2.25" buckle. Parade store sold the buckle by itself but then you need to build the belt.

If you're interested, I can help you out with that.

Hmmm... too dang many Phil's around here :rolleyes: - oh yeah where are my manors, welcome and good luck with a belt. I now have two home brew belts - one brown, one black - its a pretty darn quick and easy project if you're so inclined.

The Scottish Tartan Museum has some belts. Look towards the bottom of this page:

I purchased one of the clansman's belt from the Scottish Tartan Museum last month. They needed 3 to 4 weeks to get it in from their supplier. It is well worth the price and the wait. I bought the dark brown one. It matched my current sporran better. I'll tell more about it and post some pics when I get my latest creation finished.

The link above to the Tartan Museum shop has some Buzz Kidder belts. They are about the thickest bull leather you could ever find with a heavy single holer buckle. I'm looking at getting one. O'Neille

i'm planning on getting at least the sporran, and probably the belt too - wicked good prices on both.
