A Non-traditional Kilt Belt?

[KiltedCodeWarrior]

Dangerous Threads on eBay also has some 2" wide brown belts with a plain brass buckle. I bought one and it was too small. I will post some pics tonight and see if anyone is interested. The guy on eBay has other sizes and I will be getting a correct sized one shortly.

Mike Butler at AmeriKilts has a guy who makes up his belts for him as needed. I'm sure he's flexible. Just ask about the brass buckle. Asking is how I got my first AK brown belt before they were offered regularly.

Well, took the plunge and bought the 2" belt blank at Tandy. It took about three hours to finish, but I cut lines and chamfered and polished the edges. The dye is mahogany. Forgive my lousy camera, but here are the results:



I'm pretty pleased with the way it came out. Thanks for the guidance, all!

There's lots of good advice in this thread. Belts are really easy to make. By the way, I'm sure there are any number of different belts that have been used to tie kilts on through the ages.
