Lost Trench Coat Belt, Advice?

Hey there
Can anyone give me advice on replacing a lost belt to my trench coat? It is from Zara and I lost the belt on the train. Extremely annoying. Still wearable but looked better with the belt. Belt had a silver coloured buckle, and was Cotton/Polyester. Coat is black, as was the belt.

Cannot get a replacement from Zara. It is a fashion shop and is therefore not going to give me a belt off another coat as then that would be unsellable.

Any business on the net or in London which could help with such a thing would be much appreciated, after all, it is essentially a piece of black cotton/polyester hybrid material rectangular shaped and pointed at on end, the other end having a very simply buckle on.
Advice would be great.
Thanks

A simple solution would be to go to a fabric/craft store and buy a yard or 2 of fabric that either matches, is close or would look good with your coat. Take the fabric to a seamstress or tailor and ask them to sew it together. It may have to be reinforced in the middle, but that shouldn't be too big of a deal.

Google Morty Seinfeld. He'll have them. Just ask for the belt from the Executive model.

you dont need a yard or two of cloth. one quarter of a yard is more than enough.
dont forget to take the coat with you to match the cloth.
you may need to check several stores to get a good match. the clerks can help you.
also get a two inch buckle. thats a the inside measure.
give these items to a seamstress. she can handle it.
