The Belt Search

I've been searching and searching for a belt...there are so many belts out there, but I've been unable to find anything even close to what I'm looking for. I'm hoping to find something like this - 

Key factors -

Knotted rather than big 'ol buckle
Scabbard attachment
Nothing old...meaning I need a high level of detail from geometry and textures...so please no legacy content unless it's truly spectacular (I need this stuff to hold up next to G8/G8.1 clothing detail). 

I don't need a scabbard, which is what I've heard is the hard part to rig. I have gorgeous scabbards that came with the swords I use...but I can't find an accurate belt anywhere. There are close ones, such as those by Roguey/Strangefate, but those belts are a little too barbaric in appearance. I'm specifically looking for something that would fit in real-world medieval Europe. It's for Lord of the Rings fanart, so ideally it'd be something like what Aragorn wears. 

Any help is appreciated! Male or female suggestions...it's for a female, but belts can be converted!

    You've most likely already seen it, but would Dimensionarium's Fantasy Sword Belt for G8F be close enough for you?

    edit: while looking that up, I also stumbled across Conquistador Weapons for G3M, which looks a lot closer to your example.

    The Conquistador belt looks promising!

    The Fantasy Sword Belt though...there's just not much to that one. I saw it when it was first released. Sadly, it looks like the scabbard is just glued on and that's one of the big things I need. I have some gorgeous swords that came with even more gorgeous scabbards, but no belts to put them on, lol.

    This is Aragorn's sword kit - 

    Can sorta see belt here -

    I have used Luthbel's Wildenlander Watch belt to kitbash the scabbard hardware into other sets, as seen here...but I'm not much of a fan of the belt itself...

    I think Strangefate is about it?

    (Of course, if that's outside your design intentions, then that is a bummer. Maybe throw some fur or fake chainmail over the less attractive bits? You could probably edit the barbaric scabbard out, anyway, and replace it with whatever.)

    Most scabbards and quivers in the store don't actually hook onto much of anything...

    Kadis...

    There's also Jerry Jang's Western Knight, but it's pretty uncomplicated, no hanging straps & also texture-wise. I know OOT has a texture pack in the other store...

    Also, Fantasy Fighter. Again, a bit of a loopy thing and not hanging straps.

    I mentioned these above and they are too barbarian fantasy.

    May be the "fantasy sword belt" at rendo could be a start (two products G8F or G8M).
