Try Buckles of Estes/Sports Hound in Colorado. All of their 1 1/2" and 1 3/4" belts are hand-crafted out of top-grade latigo leather by a master craftsman named Mick Toney, who operates out of his home/belt workshop in Tucson, AZ. I have been wearing his belts for years and have nothing but praise for them. They can be had in brown, chocolate brown, black and tan, along with basketweave, plain and other types of finishes. They are very thick and strong and come complete with a sturdy brass or chrome-plated brass buckle. Try one; you will not be disappointed. Trust me on this!
