Thanks for the tips. Dixie no longer lists them, but I will try the other source.

Hey Jim...what size? I may have one that I would be willing to part with.

Hi, Phil-
I wear 34"-36" waist trousers. Does that help? You and i are about the same size, though I suspect you are a tad trimmer than I.

Don't know about me being slimmer, but my belt is a 36 and was made by Joe Toth of period leathers about 6 years ago. I have never worn it.
