Buying belts is an expensive thing, belt straps are normally only 3mm. If you want a good thick belt buy the bits from LePrevo and make one, it'll work out cheaper and you get exactly what you want.
I have made a number of basic belts with bits from them and depending on how you want to make it (stitched or riveted) it can be very quick to do.
As above, Why not have a go yourself? just to dabble you'll need:
an awl, thread,needles, bit of beeswax, a suitable buckle and a belt strap. You can get the lot from Le Prevo, I cant remember exact prices but an awl's only a couple of quid, needles £1;50 for 25, wax 80p, thread another couple of quid, buckles from about £1;75 to £3;00 depending on style and size and they will cut you a strap to match the buckle any thickness you like. the only other thing is whether to dye it, leave it natural or buy pre dyed strap. I'm really just guessing but I think you could get everything you need for well under £20, not counting postage.
if you get stuck with anything you can always ask on here or pm.
go on, you know you want to really!
I really am a great believer in trying to encourage people to widen their skills base and knowledge. To be honest, for me, that is one of the fundamentals of what people call 'Bushcraft'
