This may veer dangerously close to iGent territory for some, but I have a quick confession: I have wanted to copy, for the longest time, this particularly Agnelli-esque move of combining a tweed jacket and khakis cinched with a western-style belt. Exhibit A:

Where can I find a belt like Agnelli's at a reasonable price point without having to endlessly scour thrift stores? I have been looking for one on ebay for a while now, but it is entirely possible that I don't quite know which keyword(s) to use.

PS: I also want that tweed jacket.

Do you want a RTW western belt or a custom-made one?

What I had in mind was something off-the-rack, as I wasn't really aware of the custom-made option. In either case, suggestions would be much appreciated - especially if accompanied by a ballpark figure for the cost.
 
Ah reckon any of these hyar on-line sellers of Western Wear should have a hull passel of 'em fer sale, podnuh. It looks like about $60 seems to be whut they's askin'.

If you are not looking for Top, Top belts, start with Sheppler's online. They have a variety of brands and styles at reasonable prices

You can always Google "custom western belts" and there will be shitloads of makers. You can also check Etsy
 
Thank y'all! Sheplers does seem to be a good start, but the number of options at the price point is genuinely mind-boggling. My only concern with getting a belt like this online is ending up with something that is lined or overlaid with decent leather on lower quality leather; those do not age quite terribly. Is there anyway that to tell this online, or is there brand that I can rely on providing a genuine leather belt like this without having to hand over an arm and a leg (~$150 or less USD)?

Most of the Sheppler's will be department store quality. Here are 2 suggestions of custom belt makers that are well regarded on the fora for solid bridle leather belts including western styles in your price range

Orion belts gets good reviews on the fora. Custom bridle leather belts embellished or not with western styles in a variety of colours. Under $100

Leather Goods Connection. Reasonably priced as well. Will be under the $150 mark. Bridle or harness leather. Solid, no seen together shite. Can get all of your wearer bells and whistles to pimp your belt and make Agnelli roll over in his grave.
