I think it was testing/weeding out like you have mentioned. My wife is losing some post-baby weight, which is why we didnt punch an extra hole or 2. This is also the store close to us based on your location (Tysons), which on the 2 days I went was not that busy. I dont think this store during this time (summer, mid-week) would be as busy, and this store does not have as high volume as other stores in NYC or Paris.

They never really look busy, but trust me, those belts go like hot cakes. Size 90 and 95 are generally the most popular sizes Ive come to find with most designer belts. For them to even have a wide selection is a surprise to me. I will say I went through a whole ordeal on the phone one time. I was on the phone with them 7 different times throughout the whole day because I was told their was a rouge/choc strap in my size. I told the SA I would call back, as I was really waiting for a white strap, but wasnt sure I could resist a red strap. Forgot to get her name, so when I called back I was told they had no such strap. Back and forth calls...blah blah woof woof. I had given up hope and decided I didnt really NEED a red strap anyway. 5 mins after my last call with them I get a call back from the SA that originally told me about the rouge strap, confirming it was indeed in stock and being held for me. I was there in 10 mins flat.

Hmmm the story makes me sad. I like to be able to just buy what I want. I can't say that I'm a fan of feeling like I need to audition for a sales associate to prove I'm worthy of purchasing something. That's why I was hoping to buy it online :/

It's not a matter of how busy a boutique is during the week or during the season. There are belt kits on H.com every week - and every week they sell out before the end of the day of the first posting - regardless of season or day of the week. Sometimes they sell out within hours. Only rarely will a belt kit hang around for a day or two.

The same is true of stores. While you may not see customers, there's a significant customer base for every store, many of whom merely request their preferred items to be held for them to pick up at their convenience. So, highly desired items rarely hit the sales floor, as they are reserved as soon as they arrive.

If you were sold a "reserved" belt that could be sold to you, then who knows the full story of that situation. <shrug>

Sorry I need to ask again but could someone please tell me whether Hermes still produce pure black belt which could place normal H constance buckle ? If so ,does it comes with both sides in swift/Togo/Epsom ? Sorry if it is a stupid question but I am new to Hermes belts and i don't want to look dump when i walk into H shop asking these questions >_< Thanks !

The constance buckle goes with the 42mm belt straps; and majoiry of the 42mm belt straps I've personally seen are all Epsom leather on one side and "Box calf leather" on the other side. Wheras majority of 32mm belts I've seen are togo & box leather.

Also, the belts are reversible (as I'm sure you know) and if I were you I'd get 2 different colors, rather than black on both sides. Make it versatile! Especially for the price you're paying - why not?

Wow, so beautiful. I am searching for a white/black combination in size 24 but there is no luck....

Thx Hun!!

I've actually never seen a black to white combo in any of the sizes but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist... I just ask about belt kits alot and have never seen or been offered that combo. It also seems pretty hard to find a 24 mm in the US. I have only seen one or 2 at my boutique but they seem common overseas so maybe they will arrive in the US more now.... GL dear!!!!

Thanks for your opinion. You are right . Personally I would pick a reversible two colours belt rather than one but since my husband may not accept it ,that's why i think stick to black is more safe .
But i will try to convince him .:graucho:

I have been waiting for 2 months for an 85cm black H belt in 32mm
So annoying, as even then I have to have extra holes punched.

Also, can they monogram belts?

I'm pretty sure they dont make monogram belts

Why would your husband not accept a belt with black on just one side?? You might as well just get him a normal belt if thats the case.

Hi everyone! Some weeks ago I asked your opinion about sizing coz I wanted to surprise my husband with an H Buckle belt. He wears size 34 jeans and he told me before, that for belts he wear size 38. :shrugs: Which the SAs at Hermes and even TPFer, jimihendrix1117, found strange!

So here's what happened....

The SA at H store suggested to get size 100 if he wears a size 38 with regular belts. So I did.

I surprised him with a reversible black/gold belt with brushed silver buckle for his birthday. He was over the moon!!! :yahoo: BUT...the belt was big for him! :wacko: Apparently, he made a mistake (his vision isn't that good). Upon checking his regular belt, he realized he wears a size 36, NOT 38! LOL! :lolots: So the size 95 H belt would've been perfect for him. You were right all along, jimihendrix1117! :tup:

So we went to our H store and they added just one hole and it now fits him perfectly ;) He is a happy husband! :hugs:

Here's a photo of the belt...
