So.. I'm snowed in (red weather warning for central Scotland) and I don't imagine the snow will clear for a few days, so gonna order online.

I've narrowed it down to 24mm noir/gold combo with gold constance buckle.

I've measured a belt I already own and got the following measurements:
- high waist is 75cm
- natural waist is ~82cm

I don't plan to wear this belt low waist as all my jeans are mid-high waisted, and I would wear this belt with dresses too.

Am I right in thinking the 85cm will be correct for me? 20180228_220346.jpg
 
I checked mine and would say that the intention is that the given measurement is between the single buckle hole and the middle of the three tab holes.
However…with some of them the given measurement falls short (1cm) of the middle hole.
This would not be stretching over time as there are two pieces of leather held together by stitching.
 
So I decided it was time to get a nice belt to wear with jeans and with some dresses I have. I was originally looking at the Gucci double G but after hearing about the 6 to 8 month wait list I decided to try the classic H Hermès belts.

I ended up finding the perfect combination. 32 mm noir/gold with gold shiny hardware but of course when I went to the store they don’t have this combination available in the 75 size in stock or to order :(

My choices were the 24 mm noir/gold or 32 mm noir etoupe if I want a black with a tan reversible. What are the chances they will restock the 32 mm in the 75 size? The SA said she didn’t know if they would get more but it’s possible. I find it hard to believe that such a classic combination won’t be restocked.

Should I settle for the etoupe or 24mm or should I just wait it out and see what happens?
 
Glasgow store didn't have the colour combo I wanted, but I kinda expected that anyway..

So I've just ordered a gorgeous noir and gold 24mm with rose gold constance buckle.

I figured rose gold would be good for me as I mostly wear rose gold, silver and white gold jewellery, but have bags with both SHW and GHW. Rose is pretty versatile.

I can't wait for it to arrive now! IMG_20180304_140531_630.jpg

Thanks for your opinion. I’ll take a look at the other belts you’ve mentioned.



Lol [emoji23]‍♀️



I like the third one! That one is a little bit more dressy though right? Could it be worn with jeans?



My husband has no opinion when it comes to clothes. He thinks it’s a waste of time and he’d rather spend his time and energy reading on tech/work stuff. After we got married, somehow part of my job duties included shopping for him and dressing him [emoji85]

Hiii!! I’m also in the Bay Area. My husband is a typical tech guy (T-shirt, jeans and Northface jacket lol) and he wouldn’t go near the H buckle belt lol. He prefers his belt as standard as it can be. Of the three, I also like #3 the most but my husband would prefer #1.

My friend’s husband is in the banking industry here and mentioned it’s common to see guys in their field with the H belt.
