I wanted so bad for my first Hermes purchase to be perfect, well it took actually two purchases to make it perfect...:shame:
Short Version - Two New H Belts!
Long Version and belt sizing education - Why 2 belts? Because of the crazy sizing - or perhaps my crazy sizing!! In the store, I tried the belts on with jeans, and a 95 fit well (3rd hole). I thought two extra holes would make it work for my dress pants, boy was I wrong (and if you punch = no exchange). So I went in a few days later and tried on belts with dress pants and the 85 fit best (middle hole). I was so upset that I screwed everything up. So if you do the math (which I did obsessively in my head) having them cut the belt to a 90 should have been perfect, right? WRONG...90 fits but felt too short for jeans on bloated days and too loose for dress pants (aka more holes). So what did I do? Bought the 85 too, I justified this by getting another color, my favorite H color, Blue Jean! Oh, and another buckle too...so without further adieu...
May I Introduce to You...Ms. Black Box/Blue Jean in 85 for dress pants and Ms. Black Box/Gold in 95 (with now 5 holes) for low rise Jeans/Shorts
