I've almost got me new kit combat ready, still waiting on a few things, but I've got enough to get me on the field quickly if I can find a kidney belt in the next couple of weeks.
I've got the parts to one ready to assemble but not much free time and I'd have to dig 'em out from my storage unit.
Doesn't have to be pretty, it will be hidden.
Does have to fit a wait "natural waist around the navel" of 48"
Used or new, doesn't matter and I'm hoping I can pick up at a decent price.
Can someone help me, I need it in my hands by the 15th of April.
Thanks
Benedek

A easy kidney belt is to find 4 to 5 leather belts and sew them together.

Tovaldr's leatherworks.
Good stuff, reasonable prices. Check his production que first

This is a full-contact martial sport where twenty-year-old athletes can routinely get thrashed by fifty-year-olds with a gut and no knees
If you need on the field and can't find a good kidney belt at a reasonable price in your time limit...
since its going to be hidden, you can always go to wal-mart or a sporting goods store, buy a weight belt ($15 - $20), cut a couple squares from a 5gl plastic bucket, and rapid rivet them to the belt, not pretty, but good protection, and very easy on the wallet. Takes all of 10 minutes to cut and rivet.

Since you want it quick, I'd be wary of Torvaldr, as many people have said his production and shipping times can be very slow. Everyone raves about his work quality, though.
Depending on your size, Bokalo had a plastic body bracelet at gulf wars. Since it is not on his site, try emailing him at comments@bokalosarmoury.com. I think it was $50, but I am not sure.
Windrose has a few in stock
