    Need a belt for a balanced look, except when wearing a vest or loose sweater.

    For a nice, inexpensive casual belt, buy a 2" tool belt from HD or Lowes. They are undyed veg-tan, shorten to fit you belts. Get some black or brown leather dye at a leather store or hobby store. 2 coats of dye, some buffing, and perhaps a bit of neutral polish and you're good to go.

    Did this and I'm very happy with the results.

    AND.....if you didn't have a belt how could you show off your cool celtic buckle?
    (*Disclaimer....the HD or Lowes belt can't accept the cool celtic buckles )
    It don't mean a thing, if you aint got that swing!!
