I don't know of any place in the UK for leather. How about online? I know of a leather shop. www.theleatherfactory.com They should sell blet blankcs in the wide and narrow widths so you cna make your own custom belt. They also sell the hardware.(The knobby rivits on either side of the narrow belt.) Buckles, however are tricky to find. Someone in the forum does sell buckles of the Anikan ATOC style. Have you fabric /craft stores over there? |

Also check www.tandyleather.com I have never bought leather in bulk so I'm not sure how their prices compare, but it's another online source for you. They also sell the Sam Brown rivets, which are similar to the ones used on the Jedi belts in the movies. Though not identical, they're close enough. |

Simon either Tandy www.pearcetandy.com/or Leprevo www.leprevo.co.uk/are your best bet in the UK. Leprevo is probably the slightly better of the two. They should have everything that you need for belts and pouches, leather, dye, tools, hardware etc Phil |
