Sometimes at stores like Marshalls they have very cheap merchandise. You may be able to find some narrow belts and fix yourself up with a respectable hold-me-over. Remember, the strap was barely noticable on-screen anyway, and if seen, it's peek out from under the armor and under the robe. In other words, the audience-facing parts can be leather, and the rest does not have to be. So if you found something you like better, like camping gear straps, and then found a way to sew or attach the two, you need simply one long narrow belt to provide the visible material, and anything else under the armor and robe can be that camping gear strap material.
Hope that makes sense.
