From the early B.C. Celts to well past the Renaissance, warriors figured out that a double wrap belt was a more comfortable way to carry a sword. But it was in Medieval times that the practice really flourished. When the extra length of belt wraps around a body the second time, both hips then support the weight of the sword. Besides the balanced suspension, this belt presents a swashbuckling appearance. Includes a frog hanger that will fit all scabbards. Made of beautiful top grade leather it is 1-3/4" wide. The Medieval Belt is available in brown with brass or black with nickel silver studs and buckle.
Well made and practical. The weight of the sword is non-existent with this belt. However, the sword does hang at an unpleasant angle, and forces you to walk whilst holding the hilt of the sword to keep it from tangling with your legs. Not a big complaint though. Overall it is a great buy!

This is one of the few negative reviews I have given. It is a well made belt, heavy leather etc, but the buckle is too plain and the sword does not hang at a good angle. Infact, it lies flat against your leg and even becomes a bit trippy! I modifed mine to be used as a baldric and replaced the buckle with a fancy once I stole from a womans belt (good sorce for fancy buckles), now I use it all the time. But I would just buy a baldric next time :)

This belt makes the weight of the sword seem far less, and just plain looks good. Nice leather work on this one.
