    Kilt belt wire bail questions

    Hello, All,

    I know this has been discussed before but I can't seem to find a definitive answer here.

    I need some bails--the wire loop at the end of a "traditional" kilt belt that hooks onto the buckle.

    If I bend a stout wire hanger using a jig, will that be sufficient? If not, what should I use? Or is there another source for these little items?

    Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

    I recently got a dress belt and sporran strap from Robert at RKilts I know Robert made them, perhaps you could ask him who his supplier is?

    Hi Moosedog,

    I seem to remember them being called tabs. You might talk to cavscout, although, I didn't see them over there at his web site. He might know where to get them though.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    On some hangers, the ones for skirts with the clips on them, have 1/8" chrome plated wire. I think it is worth a try.
