    I also prefer a plain 2.25-inch kilt belt.

    Clearly you will need to make a couple, send them to me and I'll wear them and record feedback. All of the market resarch is yours to keep, no cost.

    The posters who have responded with "plain", are you meaning, no embossing at all or just a simple detailing as Robin described?

    Here are 2 more "simple" designs to portay the Saint Andrews Cross.

    Still more detailing than has been suggested but I'm just testing the waters.

    For general day to day wear I also prefer either plain or something simple, but when dressing up I like the detail on the belt. I really like the dogs, I'm quite fond of the zoomorphic knotwork. It reminds me of early Irish manuscripts.

    I have a boat load of plain belts. I like the ones that are a little different now that I'm stocked on the plain ones. O'Neille

    I like the hounds on a standard size belt. Perhaps one set on either side of the buckle. I guess they might need to be on the sides so they don’t interfere with the holes in the belt.
