Hello~! I've looked high and low yet have been unsuccessful in finding answers to my questions. Moderators, please forgive me and move this thread if I've posted in the wrong section. Thank you.

For the record, I'm female and am looking for an 'under the radar' H belt kit. The Idem looks like it ticks all the boxes, but I'm unsure of a couple of things and hope someone who owns this buckle and leather combination can help me.

First the 35mm Idem buckle:
1. durability - it looks fairly delicate with those thin H bars. Any issues with the metal bending? (unlikely I'm sure, but still... very thin H! so wish to be sure)

2. wear-ability - Ladies specifically, do you find this style to be one you reach for regularly? Can it be dressed up/down?

3. mod shots? - I've found one thread with photos of a fellow female member modelling this belt, but no others. Any other women own this model and willing to post an outfit of the day modelling this buckle?


Next, the leather! box/togo vs swift/epsom: which do you feel would be the more durable combination?

Thank you so much! :winkiss:

i really like the idem buckle too as it's more understated and less common

but the problem with the Idem buckle is that it does sit well with the women's belt (untapered belt strap) I've inserted a picture for you to see.

that's why it's only found on the men's section when you go to the online hermes website, since the men's belt strap is tapered (more leather to the right of the buckle)

wish they did resized it a bit or changed it so it would not sit on the edge of the women's belt strap and fall off
(i would totally go for the idem buckle except i don't like the extra leather bit on the men's belt strap hanging out) :P

Thank you kelly girl.
OMGosh you have forty two belt straps! :faint: I'd love to come play in your closet. LOL.

hmmm, I've not been considering the H buckle because I've been concerned about it getting scratched (this would really both me). As well, I fear it might scream Hermes. But then again, it's fairly inconspicuous as it is just a letter. So many choices! : )

Do you have an H buckle that's stood the test of time and has worn better than others?

(And a photo would be lovely, if you have any to share)

I have a guillochè H and it still looks great!

They can add holes for you at the boutique. But really you should go see the size 90 and 95, too, if you can.

Not going to the store buying online.also london store has 32mm only and it's too far awa. I'm a pro fitness model so I gain weight and cut weight.so is the size of the 42mm hermes belts same as gucci belts so if I get a hermes 42mm in a size 100 is that the middle hole?as I'm currently wearing my gucci 100 cm on the first hole now I've lost 30lbs .but will be bulking up again in a couple months and will be back up to the 3rd hole again

The stamped measurement signifies the middle hole. Hermes belt straps only come with three total holes punched in. You would need to bring it to a boutique to get additional holes punched in. There is no charge for this service.

No problem. Also, the pictures I posted were for the 32mm size belt strap in the men's tapered and women's non-tapered belt strap with the Idem buckle attached.

But for the 42mm belt strap, I believe both the men and women's belt strap in 42mm comes in the straight edge cut only (non-tapered), so you won't have to worry about any of the issues I mentioned. (Inserted a picture of the 42mm belt strap with the Idem buckle)

But the issue with the 42mm belt size is that they don't fit the loopholes on some of my pants!! :search: because they're too big

so... in conclusion, that's why i didn't get the Idem buckle LOL ;)
