Anyone with an Idem belt? Looked all over Paris for that one to no avail. I like how it sits flat without the bulge of the Constance buckle.....

OK, I feel like a complete moron, but can someone explain how to use the buckle w/the strap? I just want to make sure I'm doing it correctly. I got an 80 and it's too big...I think!

1. Slide 1 end of the leather strap (with only 1 punched hole) thru the buckle metal loop and push the metal button thru the hole.
2. The buckle is now attched to the leather belt.
3. To wear the belt, slide the other end of the leather belt (with 3 punched holes) thru the buckle metal loop again and fasten to any of the holes with the same metal button.

You can always bring the leather belt to any H stores or cobblers to punch extra holes if the belt is too large. Larger size is good, more bangs for your money since you can wear it with low-waist jeans or wear it high waist with dress if you punched extra holes!
Rest assured it won't be your 1 & only H belt, you can always buy other sizes for your next 1 in differenct color/leather combi ;)

Purseinsanity, you have a fellow moron here! I was searching around for the answer. Thanks kewave! My SA always puts the belts together when I try them. I finally decided on the new 32mm CDC buckle with black/vert veronese strap. :love: The stap had to ship...so I was on my own last night.

I have 2 remaing questions....when I attach the buckle to the single hole, the strap extends past the buckle. I don't remember this in the store and it seems off. Also when I briefly tried it on with the vert side showing and put the strap part with the holes back through the metal loop on the underside of the buckle, it left a mark on the black side! This also didn't seem right.

Any thoughts or am I just ultra anal? I was thinking about driving down to the store to make sure everything is kosher....

The strap end attached to the buckle does extend over the the buckle a little. Is the black side made of smooth black leather? If yes, box leather may be prone to scratches/marks compared to the grainy vert veronese side.
 
#235
Yes, the black side is smooth. I know this section of the belt will never show, but I was shocked that less than 5 minutes of wear left a slight imprint....so I thought maybe I was doing it wrong.

Thanks kewave!!!

Here's the vert veronese! I love it!!!! I spoke to my SA about the imprint...just to make sure everything was normal...she said to keep an eye on it and make sure to wear it in next time.

I'm very happy with the new buckle! Clearly I chose to dress it down today...

Purseinsanity - I also got mine 80cm too and yes it's big if you're talking about it going around your natural waist, but if you'll also be wearing it with jeans or pants that sits lower on the hips, then it would be perfect. What you would need to do is take it to any H store and have them put an extra hole at the other end, so it'll be more versatile. I noticed other members had already give some good instructions on putting together the belt kit.
