In Search of a Leather Belt

[Phil562]

Apart from "Bearclaw" could anyone recommend a supplier for a good stout brown leather belt.

I have trawled through previous threads, but if I have missed one then please point me in the right direction.

Thankyou

'Country Pursuits' or 'Fish'n'game' type shops should have good stocks; try your local Yellow pages for these types of shops...

get down to B&Q. they sell tool belts for under a tenner. really heavy duty leather.

Another option for you is to buy the neccesary bits from LePrevo to make a belt, I have done this and they are pretty good. There is an added bonus to this, you can make a belt any size you want, I got the bits for a mate of mine to make a belt because he is quite large and can't normally get a good quality belt for less than about £30.

I second the B&Q option.

I got the woodlore one and it's lovely, very thick but supple leather and really well made.

nice.

Try Price Western Leather - they will make you anything you want, in any way you fancy it at quite a reasonable price. I have a couple of competition pistol belts back from the 80's which I still wear now. Find them on www.pwluk.com

Price Western leather must be hard wearing. I have a rifle sling made by them and after 25 years it still looks and works great.

Phil as Espy said mate make your own, they don't take long and it is a lot cheaper. This is one that I am making at the moment with a couple of other projects,

once it has set I'll stitch it and my mate gets a belt for less than £15 which is about 40mm in depth and about 5mm thick for the princely time investment of about 30 minutes overall and a cost to me of £9.

I recently bought a 'Kunys' which is made in Canada for 11 quid from my local builders merchants.(Ridgeons)

This is one tough belt and very hard wearing.

You could try Harold and Florence Wilson at Made in Cumbria. They make top notch leather gear at sensible prices. Belts included. I think Trekdirect and Bearclaw stock their stuff, but if you buy direct you will save a few pounds!!

They have 3.5" belts for £16.00 incl p&p

Hope that helps
