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.

bump!

Hi! I wear a size 25-26 jean and I have 85 in 2 belts and 1 80. My jeans all fall below my natural waist but I would not call them really low rise. I find my 80 belt is a tad tight at the lower waist and prefer the 85 cause it can be a bit loose. A sales associate once told me if in doubt by the larger size because you can add a hole to make it smaller but not to make it bigger. As in they cannot punch a hole towards the end of the belt. I wear my belts with everything from tanks and t's to blouses and sweaters. I have a black and taupe belt and LOVE it! I love the white stitching on all my belts but that is a personal preference, but I love how the stitching pops off the dark leather. Hope this helps a bit in your decision. Once you get a kit you can then purchase just the straps. I have both gold and silver buckles and love switching them out and all the combos that can be done.

I wear 23/24 jeans and I wear a 75. I also have an 80. I think my SA measured me wrong because the 75 was supposed to be for my natural waist and the 80 for lower rise pants. The 75 is too big for my natural waist though, but it works great with all of my pants and jeans. Hope this helps!

Hey magjes! I'm thinking you should go with a 80. I've seen how times you are I'm a 25 (occasionally a 26) in jeans and always get a 85. I also get 2 holes punched by the boutique so in case some jeans hit higher and closer to natural waist, belts still fit. You'd think I could go 80 too, and use the biggest hole, but 80 definitely would be a No Go for me, too tight, no room for lower waisted jeans. Good luck!! . And you can always exchange on H.com or get both sizes and return one Although, H.com doesn't always have the best customer service. Lol

Thanks so much for the advice! I'm going to go for the 80! So excited to finally order one. Been wanting one forever!

Having a midnight dilema

Would you buy a belt that is perfect on one side if you had the reverse side TWICE already on other straps?

It's being held ATM while I'm going between and from minute to minute

 

[chessmont]

I have 2 belts which have the same color on one side - when traveling for example, you never know which combo might be what you want to take with you. I wanted the color on the one side so I didn't worry about the other side... JME

Yes, I would go for it, PT!

Thanks ladies I have only 24 hours to make a decision.

Oh, and it would be a slightly bigger size because it's for jeans/hips (I like low-rise as I have a short waist) so thanks Vigee

I have recently bought my first 13mm belt and am in a dilemma as to whether I should get another hole punched for my waist. I should have gotten a size 70 but its so difficult to find one in the colours and buckle I want. When I found the black/gold with rg constance buckle in 75, I couldn't bring myself to pass on it. Hence, I am in a dillemma. I need to add one additional hole next to the original 3 holes so it would fit my hips and another one quite far away from the original holes to wear it on my waist.

My concerns are that it would look odd when I wear the belt at my hips with an odd hole far out and that there would be a lot of excess leather when I wear it on my waist. Should I keep the 75 just for wearing on my hips and keep looking for a size 70 for my waist?

Anyone has the experience of adding an additional hole about 7.5cm away from the last hole? I appreciate any pictures too! Thanks!

 

[papertiger]

Did it. I bought the Barenia!

I still have to try it with my low-rises, but it is the perfect version of 'gold' for me and is neither matte or shiny, a lovely mellow sheen

Do you think I could get away for passing-off the Chocolate side for Black, I know I could with Ebene, but would Chocolate trick the eye?

I don't have a 13 bit IMHO, many non-H belts have 5 holes new, I don't think it will look weird, it will just look like to have a tiny waist

Hi ladies, I really need some good advice. I am a big girl and wear a 105 cm. belt. I can never find the colors I want in the women's belts. Do you think a men's belt would look that bad and/or different? Has anyone ever tried wearing one? Thanks.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy from the men's range. The only difference, width size for width size, is the more tapered hole end, which I actually prefer anyway. Expect less proper colours though, although orange is popular for men too
