when did Hermes start changing the 32mm belt straps?

the "new" ones seem to have tapered ends on both ends.
http://usa.hermes.com/man/belts/belt-kits/32-mm/32-mm-reverse-leather-for-belt.html

previously the end where the buckle is placed is squared end like earlier posted below

Your question was answered in this thread previously. Here:

The ones with two tapered ends are the 'men's belts' and the ones with the one straight end is the 'women's belt'. Apparently it's a new thing recently.

However, I personally don't think it matters one way or the other.

Wow.

Oh my god, this is a beautiful! I am not much for belts, but if this were available in my boutique right now, I would snap it up!

OneMoreDay and AnnaE, I look forward to a reveal of belts from both of you soon!

Oh nooooo, I was previously indifferent to belts, but now... Gosh. I need to go to the boutique to check them out!

My belt buckle has a few small scratches that are starting to bother me. I called my SA and asked what he would recommend and he said that it could send it off to be dipped??? Has anyone had any experience with this?

Ps. He said it could take up to a year before I get it back! I found that to be absolutely insane

That is a long time ~ one of my H buckles has many tiny scratches on it and I still wear it a lot. Does not bother me and I wouldn't want to be without it for a year.

Hi everyone,

Heading to Paris and Rome at the end of May/beginning of June for my honeymoon, and I'm looking to buy a 32mm belt kit with the brushed H buckle in ghw. Would anyone happen to know what the current price is in euros? Also, any tips for shopping for this belt in either city?

Hi,
A belt kit costs 580€ . Availability depends on your size and if you want a special colour. Good luck and enjoy your honeymoon.

That's such a great price as compared to USD prices, I paid much more for my latest new belt kit at my local H.

So In eed to know, does the size on the belt
Refers to the length of the entire belt strap?
or is it referring to the size of the strap from the first hole?

and if so, has anyone tried adding a hole to the beginning of the strap?

thank you all so much

I believe it's the distance between the hole you thread the buckle to the middle hole. For my 85cm belt I added a hole around 72cm to wear at the waist. The only problem is that if you need it much smaller than its original size, the end will probably not tuck in right unless there are belt loops to hold it in place.

I wore my brand new shiny gold belt today and it got a MAJOR scratch. Right smack in the middle and I do not know how I did it.

Does anyone have any tips to help? I am so upset right now. I thought I would get more wear out of it before it looked this bad! Please help!

I have no help for you. I'm sorry. I have many scratches on mine and could not figure out how they were happening - then I realized I was rubbing against my bathroom countertop while drying my hair!! Unbelievable!!! Good luck!

If that is really bad, you can go to the boutique to require a spa for buckle. They will process to dip it. But this takes time, maybe a couple of months

YES! I realized that in the bathroom ( just a few mins ago) I went right up against the sink and then my heart sank. I cannot believe I did this. I actually never wear belts and forgot to be careful.

I suppose it would have happened in time and I will just haev to get used to it. Thanks!

Its really bad! But I do not think I want to spa it yet as this was the first use. I cannot believe it. I am just going to wait it out and hope I forget its there. LOL!

Ladies,
Any of you have a 13mm with the Focus buckle (tiny H buckle). How you like it? Please post some modeling pictures! Thanks!

 

[MAGJES]

I've decide to order a belt kit from Hermes.com and have spent a few hours researching belt sizes and am not totally secure in what size I should go with.

I wear a 25 jean most of the time.....sometimes a 24 depending on the brand.

I have in my cart right now an 80 (32mm) belt kit......

Do you think this would be the safest choice? or should I go down to the 75?
What hole should I plan on waring with my jeans - that might help me with the size decision.
I would appreciate any advice!


Also - I'm not sure if I should go with the Black/Gold or Black/taupe - notice the latter combo comes in both white stitching on the black or black stitching on black.
