I wanted a red belt to match a pair of red dress shoes that I got, and it wasn't easy to match the red. Looked at what a lot of brands offered. The closest was from Hermes (Rouge H, with Gold on the other side, both in Epsom).

Thankfully this is not black on the other side. I already have two straps that are black on the other side, which means that I only really had 3 colours out of 2 reversible straps before getting this. The gold colour is very close to the Fauve Barenia on my other belt, so I hope the Barenia darkens a bit over time to make the two colours more different.

By the way (hope this wasn't already discussed here), but I noticed that the box is very different from the previous. It's taller, and it doesn't come with the spiral mould to store the belt. Comes with a nice dust bag, though.

I just purchased my first H belt in the 24mm width from the H store in Melbourne today and there were no mounds in the box- just two separate dust bags for the leather strap and the silver buckle. I got the black/orange combo which has literally arrived from France in their latest drop but was really undecided between the black/orange or the black/gold version. Thought the orange is a classic Hermes color and gives a nice pop of color compared to the gold as I don’t really like the white stitching on the gold. The SA said that I can always exchange the strap for the black/gold combo as long as the strap I have bought hasn’t been worn. Tried the orange with white jeans tonight and the color does really pop. Is the orange too showy though compared to the ‘safer’ gold color? I am keen on thoughts from the forum.

Thanks guys!

Either is perfectly acceptable; only you know your own personal style and what you wish to achieve by the way you dress and accessorise.

I am wondering what are people’s opinions about Hermes belts for males, as I’m thinking of getting one for my husband. I find that European males, gay males, and dandies wear it quite well, but what about the mediocre sense of style that is found on San Francisco tech males? Will it look too try hard if not worn properly? My best friend says Hermes belts on guys look like it’s “too much” and she would be embarrassed if her man wore it. My trainer thought of rappers when I first brought up Hermes belts for men. Just curious what everyone else thinks. TIA

Yeah I know what both of your friends mean. I have seen a lot of rappers and hip hop singers wear them and in San Francisco, most ppl prefer to a quiet luxury look, so the H logo tends to stand out a bit which they shy away from. In addition, the amount of fakes (tons of them) are being sold on eBay. So many super fakes coming from Bulgaria that tPF and almost 90% of online authenticators won’t even authenticate a H belt because of the superfakes. My opinion is that I’m personally not a fan anymore I prefer the other belt buckles

I was told by my SA that it will come with either or. So if it has the spiral it won't have a dustbag for the belt and vice versa. I just got a strap a few weeks ago and it came with a spiral no dustbag so I asked my SA and got that response.

When you say 90% won't, do you know any in the 10% that will? Because I haven't found an and am genuinely curious.

Hermes swapped my belt but didn't have my colour combo, so I've now got black/etoupe. Etoupe is actually such a nice versatile colour in real life!

That's what I have, I love to wear both sides!

some consignment stores authenticate in person by hand but they wont provide a proof of authentication it's really a case by case basis from what others have told me on the H discussion forums, you'll have to ask around. i had the H buckle purchased from the store (2011/2012) and i saw one on eBay for $150 from a seller and it looked exactly like mines, even the matte texture on the back and the hermes stamp was so finely etched that it looks believable.. the only way i knew it was fake was because the seller was selling 10 of the exact same belt buckle, and all his feedback was 100% (possibly from ppl not knowing they aren't real) for the belt buckles. that's why it's almost impossible to get an authentication anywhere. i believe i was told the superfakes (coming from bulgaria) are easy to manufacture since they're molded from a molten metal and then machine polished with a rotating rubber belt, finally they are electroplated with gold or palladium. similar to how Hermes makes them. the whole process is machine made when it comes to metals, thus the influx of superfakes

i attached some pictures of the superfakes coming from bulgaria (note this is the older style of the belt buckle they are replicating) .. the new ones have serial numbers now (to reduce the number of superfakes) but back then Hermes did not use number marking. this person on eBay is selling 10 Hermes buckles right now and all his feedback is from ppl purchasing the belt buckles. either it's a superfake (likely) or he works for hermes (which i doubt because there's no way he could be selling so many of these belt buckles without H knowing and also Hermes has used number marking on the constance H belt buckles for more than 5 years now, they aren't making the H belt buckles like these anymore) -- please correct me if i'm wrong, but this is based on buying belt buckles from hermes since 2011 and also based on back dated posts from other members on this thread, you can search back to see pictures

I think that the orange isn't too showy at all. If you want to match it with a bit of orange somewhere else in your outfit, then perhaps get an Hermes Twilly with a bit of orange in the design, and then tie it on the handles of your handbag or around your neck. It'll balance out the orange in your outfit.

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if they discontinued CDC buckle that would fit 32mm strap? I have only been seeing 24mm...Thank you!

I believe the CDC buckle for 32 mm strap is still readily available in silver colour and rose gold. Impossible to find in yellow gold anymore - or at least I have been searching for a couple years in H-stores around the world with zero success.

My latest Hermès purchase. I originally left the store with a 24mm black and gold belt with a shiny silver H buckle. I think it’s referred to as the mini Constance belt. As I was leaving the store, delighted with my purchase, a very beautiful, stylish woman was walking in wearing a mid blue belt in 32mm.
That put doubt into my mind.
Especially as my next purchase will likely be the black Kelly belt.

A few days later I emailed my SA and told him about how I felt. One week later I chose this!

It’s black and etain 32mm with a brushed finish buckle (as I’m clumsy [emoji16])

First day wearing it. I’m very very happy with it.
