I will just blow up a picture of the belt for you.............

jandoe89 's belt..............

I really like the design of the "H" you picked!!!

I'm looking at purchasing a belt but I can't decide between a brushed or shiny H.
Is the shiny fairly easy to scratch?!
If you have any recommendations let me know!

Of the two I would definitely choose brushed, because in my experience the shiny gets scratches and I found it so disturbing that I gave my shiny H buckle away with belt.

My SA also recomended me to take brushed due to the scratching risk.

I have a brushed buckle and they scratch just as easily, and the scratches are just as visible in the pattern.

Thank you for the info Mistikat. I have not yet bought a brushed buckle and will probably choose something else next week.

I have the 32mm belts, and my shiny ghw H buckle does indeed show scratches but it doesn't bother me too much. I also have a hammered matte ghw H buckle and it doesn't show scratches at all. If scratches bother you, I would recommend a hammered buckle in a heartbeat!

I was told to get the hammered when I first bought a H kit and never regretted that decision. I have the gold and silver for over 9 yrs and altho both have 2 major scratches, it's not noticable.

Scratches look way worse on the Polished or Brushed. I actually think the Brushed get more abused looking easier than the Polished.

Could you post a pic of this hammered buckle matt GHW, LittleMy?

Thank you Vigee, you are such a sweet lady, for posting the pic of your Au Carre belts. I just bought a new belt and bag from H. We all need a little orange in our lives 😄

This is nice!

Thanks for your input!
I went with the shiny H since so many said the brushed scratches just as easily, it arrived today!!!

 

[Serva1]

This is nice!

Thank you Loukpeach 😄 Funny thing is I first bought the belt feu/noir epsom/swift and the bag in feu the day after. The H fairies arranged it for me.

So helpful to know, mistikat, as I've wondered! Also the shiny buckles can be sent back to Paris for refinishing and polishing when they become very scratched. But the after sales specialist in my store said that the brushed ones cannot. So, possibly another consideration when purchasing.
