Shhh don't tell anyone...

Why not order now that way you will have it when the kilt from Matt shows up. You might also want to check out the Weathered Lamont Heavyweight at Stillwater kilts, as I see it is a limited time only thing. You will want a kilt that is not as expensive as one of Matt's from time to time.

And no I do not work on commission if anyone was wondering.

The british Army web belts look wery good, particularly the 58 but more so the 37 especially if you can get it with brass fittings

You can even customize the buckle if you want to.

For the price I couldn't pass that belt up. I ordered one even though I have a 36" waist. I figure if it's too long I can cut it to length, use a drill press to make new holes and color the raw edge in with a black sharpie. I'll post my opinion when the belt arrives. Thanks for the heads up.

I'm with you, Nervous Jock! The "new school" belts just don't do it for me. Now, if I could track down an old school (canvas and brass) version, that'd be one thing. I actually tried to use a "new school" belt but it just didn't feel right, look right, or work right.

Ah well!

Old school as it gets.
