Kilt Belt Hardware

[AndyL1]

Hi all,

I have a request to make a kilt belt for a new customer. The buckle he found has a tab on the back instead of a pin. The buckle came from Scottish Trading Company and the belts they offer for sale appear to have like a wire that this buckle would connect with. Have a look here:

Does anyone know where I could get this hardware for the belt to work? Otherwise I was thinking of just making the holes sized to the tab and it could hook into the belt like normal.

Thanks,

Andy

UPDATE: Well found the hardware at Le Prevo: http://www.leprevo.co.uk/d%27s_o%27s_steel.htm#rectangles (kilt loop welded, bottom of page) but they are £5.94 for ten. Hmmm... maybe something I can make or use a metal slide instead?

Did you ever find a US source for those kilt belt attachment loops, or a good substitute?  I have a request to make a kilt belt and have had the same problem.  Maybe I will try to make one.
