When asked to make a choice, give an opinion, that is the way I would go - especially with brown and tan - red is further from gold so it takes silver better.
You really need to decide and wear what you like and feel comfortable with; be confident in your own style - that will never be wrong for you (even if others don't like it - but they probably will, because it will be genuine)

With regard to the buckles - now this is dangerous! - I think you might like the Tuareg H more than any other.
Do look it up.

Tuareg is excellent but beyond my budget . So I have to choose between dese 4 silver buckles - Hammered, Guilloched, Brushed and Strie buckles. Guide between dese . Mostly to b worn with jeans . Rouge Grenat (cherry red) leather side more often . So with dat suggest d buckles. Thanks a ton

You ask about which is more flashy? Then you say from a distance.
Honestly if you want 'flashy' then Hermes is not for you -
unless you can lay your hands on a 42mm with a Constance H
That was 'flashy' and 'vulgar' (sorry if that offends anyone) and probably why it is not available at the moment

I wear 32mm with jeans, but something wider would be better
have you considered the new 38 - worth saving up the extra 200
especially if you want to wear with jeans

gold traditional H, but go for the brushed finish and then you will not be concerned with little scratches

Need in 32mm width only . Even I dnt like big 42mm h buckles , as most fakes are like dat . Made up my mind for rouge Grenat/ noir leather 32mm strap with silver buckle . But confused between Guilloched and Hammered. Jus wan to kno plus and minus of both dese buckles in comparison. TX a ton for reply . One more query . How to store Hermes belt . If we use it regularly say thrice a week den should we remove buckle every time , even if side not to b changed and store in coiled box and buckle in bag or should be hanged ??? 2nd situation if to be used say once in 10 days den ??? Will leather get destroyed if we wear d belt in rain ??? Wat should b done to clean belt leather n buckle in routine ? Any special leather care n metal care solutions???

When I take off my belts I always (even if I will wear it again tomorrow)
remove the buckle and pull the strap through my fingers to straighten it
and store it coiled the reverse way to how I wore it

I believe you now get a fabric bag for the strap and a box

Seriously, you would have to get really drenched for your waist to get soaked enough to damage the leather.

I know there is a lot of fuss about Hermes and leathers and we all want to care for nice things we own, but just wear it and enjoy it.
Look up the Docride leather care threads in the reference section.

Difference between Togo and epon leather ? Which is better ??
 
#4,916
togo has a natural surface texture
epsom has an impressed surface
neither will be shiny
if you want shiny you need box or another smooth leather that can be polished

It really is a matter of which one do you like best
there is no right or wrong
other than choosing what someone else tells you to choose

is the leather strap noir or black side also available in Togo ?? I think in all straps it’s plain / polished . I think polished side is more prone to wear n tear .

are you going to buy online?
look on the website and go straight to belt straps
look at both ladies and gents
then you will see the kind of things that are available
the choices change all the time
it's better to go into a store and the choice could del be greater than online
online and instore are not really linked so you cannot use one to find the availability of the other
BUT
you can order online and collect instore
In Europe If you order online, can return for refund or exchange
I think it's the same in US but I don't know about Asia
