<<<<I'll assume they buckle to themselves. Niceness. I want one of these more than my left kidney.

Brilliant! Because isn't it possible to connect the two belts together?

You shouldn't have to connect the belts at all. You could, in fact, use two entirely different belts, provided that they're the same size, since they're only directly attached to the cloak itself, then they buckle together using the buckle attached to one of the belts. So, pick up two belts that are the same size, cut the buckle off of one and the holes off of the other and attach those cut ends to the cloak.

<<<<It might benefit you to pick up D-ring belts instead of buckle belts. They're a bit easier to use and only slightly less secure. Cutting the holes off of a buckle belt might make it to short to use, depending on your belt. I know in my local area, there isn't much by way of long belts. I have crappy stores around here. XD

<<<<If you have a family dollar anywhere close to you you can get 48" belts for 8 dollars.
two of those is 96" that should be plenty big enough fo almost anyone.
Getting two belts and sewing one to each corner of the cloak is by far the best way to go if you are trying to make a GoT styled cloak
