Capt Grey Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Not going through the internet leaves you very little options. If you're looking for just a plain leather belt then try Wal-Mart or Target. For something more accurate I have to recommend e-Bay or other online replica sites. I deal a lot with prop replica makers and I have been very pleased by their trustworthyness. Those that are out to scam are soon reported so that others won't get conned. My favorite Renn site is Ravensmoon Replicas. They have several craftspeople who do armor, leather, sewing, etc. One stop shop. Captain, we always knew you were a whoopsie. Rumors of my death are entirely premature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Seahawke Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 what I did was ... while going through a store was find several belts that were leather with sections connected with metal/leather covered rings (I use the rings to tuck the whip handle into)and rivets in them...ok kinda hard to describe...but, bought 2 of them...took them to a shoe repair shop. Had them connected...so I can wrap them around me twice...then using the leather strips tie it (again kinda hard to describe) ...I don't like the buckles... ...and still have a nice slant on the hips to it...it looks period and is comfortable and best part of it even with the repair fee...it only cost about $10.00 (ok I got the belts on clearance for $1.00 apiece) Had my Baldric made the same way....got two belts had them put together so it lays nicely over the shoulder...my sword hangs from it at the right angle...again very inexpensive and very nice. The front one has small metal rings on it that are just large enough that a dagger or two or three or whatever.... could be tucked into them... ready for use when needed .... So even if you be a gent take a look in the lasses belt department...those with a somewhat golthic look can be used very easily. :) Same with sashes. Take a look at the shawls made from cotton, linen or wool material. Double them over (the fold would be great to hold a pistol in place) wrap about waist and you have a pirate sash.

hurricane Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Visit www.jekylthehidesmith.com - he does absolutely great work - while his catalog is online he does ordering traditionally.

Capt. Flint Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Capt. Marlow... Two options... I would be happy to make you one for cost. Probally about 20 to 25 dollars plus shipping. However, that would be a bit of a thin belt. The local ren fair here has much wider belts; almost 3" wide with buckle for somewhere between 25 to 35 dollars, in brown and black. I would be happy to pick you one up, just have to find out the shipping. When do you want it. We are going to the fare again on oct. Would be happy to get it for you then....
