ANH Solo belt for pants - suggestion?

[rmschneider104]

I'm looking for a pants belt for a Han Solo ANH costume. Not the gunbelt, but the black one for his blue pants. It looks like they are a three hole black leather belt. Anyone have a good suggeston? I did find one on sportsmanguide, but it is a two hole version. Nothing on ebay is exactly close either.

I just received a 3-hole belt from beltoutlet.com. It's a nice piece, and probably what I'll end up using for costuming, but the horizontal spacing of the holes is too close together. The distance between holes is about 1/4", as opposed to 1", as seen on the pic on their website:

Another option is the 3-hole belt from AMFO, but the belt width is 1 3/4", and won't fit through standard belt loops (at least not the Dickies pants).

A third option is just to use a two-hole belt, readily available from Dickies. I added a third row of holes with MS Paint. Unfortunately, the holes on the Dickies belt are too big, and adding the third row may compromise the belt strength.

And finally, you could buy a 1 1/2" belt black, a roller buckle, and make your own...which is what I'll try to do if I have time.

I hope this helps.

I'd say make your own belt. That's what I did *cough* 20+ years ago *cough*.
All you need is a belt blank, buckle and a hole punch. Then it's time to go to town.
