Ok so I never impulse shop..that said I walked into Hermes and bought a belt without doing any research yesterday. Overall I am pretty happy. I love that I got the 32mm brushed silver H. Two things I'm not so sure about... I had just bought a beautiful pair of gray boots so I got gray/black belt. Dumb, they also had black/gold available so I may exchange for that just to have more flexibility. More baffling, from reading this thread, is I am a 29 in jeans, always, and I got the 095 belt. I went totally on fit in the store. I find my jeans rarely sit at my waist, but most jeans don't sit at your waist although I am noticing this year the jeans tend to be slightly higher. I still wear my belt a little loser to cover the top of the zipper, hard to explain. My main question is do you think the 29 and 095 sizing sounds totally off? Any advice would be appreciated because I want to exchange soon. TIA
 
I say , go with what fits, too!
I bought a longer belt strap as I wear my trousers and jeans a bit low at the hips. I did ask for an additional hole trap to be punched in store, so as to wear it tighter with dresses.
 
Although on paper the sizes seem completely off
if the fit is right, regardless of what the printed/stamped size is, it doesn't matter.

That’s what I was thinking! Thanks! Also gray is kinda redundant with black, as pretty as it is. So I guess I have the right size, just need to switch to gold/tan. Love this belt, so happy!
 
I’ve been looking at getting one of the belt kits with the gold H buckle (sorry I’m not sure of the formal name). Am I crazy or did they just go up from $880 to $1,300 on the website? That seems like an insane jump.

I think you will find that the website has been re-designed.
The items are presented in a different way and the 42mm belts at $1300 appear before the 32mm at $880
 
Newbie here. I love looking at all your beautiful belts. I recently tried to purchase a replacement strap for my vintage Amiral belt buckle and was told that replacement straps were no longer available and when I asked if they could order a blank strap and have in store craftsman punch the holes I was told they no longer have punch for this belt and that they could not help me. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? I'd hate to stop wearing this beautiful buckle. Thanks!Amiral buckle.jpg

I would say try your local cobbler/shoe maker. They usually can help in these situations. Good luck!!

I am officially joining the club! I purchased the men's noir/rouge grenat belt kit with the brushed silver buckle. The rouge grenat side is togo and the noir side is 135. What kind of leather is 135?
