    3" kilt belt buckles?

    I'm once again looking for some 3" kilt belt buckles. Last place I got them doesn't sell them anymore. I would like to find some in brass and silver looking like this, but wider if possible:

    The thing is I use 8-9 oz leather for these belts and the only buckles I had did not have a very long tongue. Nevertheless, I would take what I could get!

    Just a side note - I did find some women's fashion buckles in 3", but they are even narrower and do not work with this heavy leather I use. Also, I can find round ones, but want rectangular.

    Thanks for any help!

    Cheers!

    Frank, these folks have a few 3" buckles:

    I've not dealt with the company and so can't give a recommendation for or against.

    Thanks Rebel! You are correct sir, nice folks to do business with. If the buckles look 1/2 as good when I get them as they look on their website, I'll be more than happy. I got three of these: http://springfieldleather.com/20429/...q%2CSB%2C3%22/

    I also got a vintage one off Etsy, so that should be enough for a while. Thanks again for the lead.
