Wide leather belt for my new kilt!

[fred gordon]

Not an obvious Bushcraft question but certainly a Traditional Crafts one.
I picked up my new kilt today from the kiltmaker. What I want now is a brown leather belt of about 3 inches wide with a brass traditional buckle. Any suggestions where I might get one, or does anyone on here make them?

Bet Singteck could make you one - I know he does belts and his leather work is fab!

Caledonian Creations make them in a standard black

but if you contact Jim Smith (no kick back, just someone whose work I like, buy and recommend) I'm sure he'd do a you a brown one (and give advice on a suitable buckle) since most of the re-enactors use brown leather belts rather than black.

Singteck, Tiffers, Eric Methven, Monarch all make belts too though.

Jelling dragon will also supply belts with brass buckles

or bagpipers.com sell standard ready made brown belts, you'd need to suss out a buckle tho'
