Thank you so much for the advice! You are very tall and i do believe the 32mm must have look perfect on you! :smile:
Ur 42mm experience was what i thought on my experience with 32mm...
I do agree on both ur answers. There isn't a belt kit that could fit both purposes for both formal and casual occasions. :smile:

It was a great experience to hear all the kind advice that you have given. :smile:
Oh yes, will it be okay to pm you to see some pics on the belt and advice for me.
I am shy to post it here.
Have a good day ahead! :smile:

Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that box leather scratches much more easily than swift, so I would choose the swift/epsom over box/togo.

I have box and haven't had a problem with scratches (but I am careful - especially not to scratch my buckles). However, I prefer the texture (graininess) of the togo over the "smoothness" of the epsom . I think it comes down to whether you prefer smooth leather or a textured, grainy leather finish.

This makes sense! I, for one, am an absolute klutz and always manage to knock into things or get dirty somehow.

Hello,

I would like to purchase a 32 mm belt kit. If the color you wanted came in both swift/epsom and box/togo, which combination would you choose and why? I am new to Hermes belts and don't know much about the leathers.

Thank you in advance for any responses.

I have a box/Togo belt. I wear it all the time and am not careful with it and it looks great. I have found most belt kits have an epsom side so I would choose the box one if you plan on getting more just for variety. But it's just personal preference and also the color you're considering. I'd put them side by side and see which color you prefer. They will be slightly different since the leathers are different.
I have epsom belts as well but I prefer Togo if I had a choice.

I think it would depend on the colour that you are looking at.
If it were a Black/Gold for example then the Box combination would be lovely.
Box is a true H classic leather.
The Box side is quite a "smart" look where the togo more casual.
There is probably not a hugely obvious difference between the Box and Swift if it is in black, but the Gold in togo will probably be a bit richer than the Epsom I think.
Lets us know what the colour combo is and others may be able to be more specific.

Hello,
I want to buy a belt for my hubby, he wears size 32 pants, i will need some help to know which size belt and thickness to buy, TIA!
Click to expand...

I wear size 32 pants and wear Hermes belt size 95. As for thickness, I prefer the 32 mm straps (they look good with both suits and jeans). To me the 42 mm straps look more casual and they do not fit through the belt loops on some of my dress pants anyway.

My ideal size is now 33; my 90 straps are still ok, but my 95s are now ideal on the innermost hole.
If you get black/gold I would suggest the gold buckle is the best; silver goes well with black, but less well with gold.
The 32 is versatile for both formal/casual wear.
I would like a 42 strap for jeans etc, but I thought the buckle was too clumsy.
