I would order an 85. I wear a size 26 jean and the 85 would be fine. I ordered the 85 and 90 online and kept the 90 but now have to go to the BH store to add another whole. Too big on me now. The 80 would be too small esp. if you want to wear with jeans that are lower on the hip. Go for the 85:smile1:


Thanks so much for your help! I'm getting the 85 :smile1:
 
May I ask where you got this done? I just called my San Francisco store and they said they no long offer this service. :no-good:

I'm in the same boat for the belt in my signature and got it off the website today in the 105. I'm really hoping I can make this work.
I finally found my paperwork for this! I purchased the strap from the Chicago boutique in October 2010. It looks like it was sent to Bal Harbour. Perhaps they had a craftsperson there who could do the shortening.

Although this was some time ago and Hermes policies are fickle, I can't believe that this service is no longer available. You might want to call a larger boutique like New York to see what they offer. Good luck!

The Bal Harbour store is no longer there, they moved to the Miami Design District awhile back. In temporary digs until the new flagship is completed.
 
I tried both the Cape Cod and Quentin belts, usually found in the men's section. I'm having trouble deciding which is more versatile in the long run. I feel like the Cape Cod works best with casual pants and denim and that the Quentin works best with slacks. I wear both types of trousers equally. Has anyone purchased either belt? How did you decide on one or the other?

Dear ladies, is belt kits hard to get in stores? All I want is a brushed gold buckle, with 80 strap (Black/taupe preferred). I have been waiting for that to come by for a while. Any advise would be appreciated! Thanks!

With Hermes, anytime you're looking for a certain color combination, it can be hard to find. However, the color combo you're looking for pops up on H.com frequently, it's a classic belt strap and shouldn't be too hard to get from a boutique. The problem also is that sometimes u find the strap but the buckle selection is sparce... it's really all a matter of luck IMO dear. Keep looking and asking your boutique every week.

I have waaaaaay too many belt kits now bc when I see one I love, I snatch it up for fear I will never find it again :shame:

I'm belt kit intensive too but the good side of that is when I need a precise belt it's right there. I bet you know exactly what I mean! ;)

Yes I sure do! :winkiss:

Now I know I should not be snooping on EU H.com for anything... let alone beltkits... but there was a very interesting buckle offered on the 42cm belt strap so I thought I'd post it... very gladiator-esque in this size, I'm sure :p
