If you are looking for something different again, I make a Ranger belt in both Brown or Black with either Nickel Hardware or Brass. I can also make it 2".25 or 2".5. My standard is 1'5/8. It's made from 8-10 oz bridal leather and is top stitched.
The leather and hemp Kilt Guy in Stratford, Ontario
Here is what I did Saturday evening and finished up tonight.
left to right:
5/8 inch black sporran strap ($3.00 hardware)
1/2 inch light brown sporran strap ($6.50 saddle string & hardware)
5/8 inch dark brown sporran strap ($7.50 leather & hardware)
2 1/2 inch dark brown belt ($16.00 + old cinch buckle)
1 1/4 inch black belt ($21 old belt new hardware/conchos)
2 inch tan belt ($5.00 harbor freight)

Buckle and concos on standard width belt
So for less than $75 including dye and finish, I've got 3 straps and 3 belts. If I had to buy punches, strip cutter and bevelers etc. I would have had to add about $50 in tools. I chose to awl punch and hand sew the hardward (inexpensive horse tack) to avoid sharp rivets etc. that can rub and snag kilts. I'll buff everything shiny when I'm certain the finish is dry. O'Neille
I can't find the thread now, but Pour1Malt posted a link to the guy who made his wide kilt belt and buckle. You can see it in photos in this thread. Hopefully he'll pick up on this thread and post the link again.
