You should be able to see that for yourself.
What you need is confidence in your own opinions.
You first question should be, "Why do I want a Hermes belt?"

For those Kelly belt users out there, I have just received confirmation from my Hermes local store, having enquired with Paris, that Kelly belt’s sliding mechanism does loosen up with time. It’s part of wear and tear - it’s a leather after all. They also confirm that there is nothing they can do - even if they fix it now, the problem will recur. Their advice is that when adjusting Kelly belt, try not to pull the two leather straps too hard - and try to do it slowly and gently. Thought I would share this here to prevent this issue happening to someone else!

Out

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

Out of noir/natural kadence leather strap and noir/gold Togo strap which is better and why ? Kadence is costlier also ???

Thank you for sharing the information. I am considering to get a Kelly belt because of the one size fit all concept.
Guess I will have to think twice now. Mr. Wallet is abit happy now

I've had my kelly belt for a couple of years now and no issues with having to readjust when wearing. The leather has softened slightly. Since I only wear it at the waistline with certain outfits, it is usually at a fixed length. That probably helps in preventing future loosening. It's a classy belt.

Yes I agree that wearing it fixed length would be the best. I have been abusing mine a bit too much - wear it with dress, jeans/pants and after I wear it I tend to adjust it again to the shortest length before I roll it up to store - so this means at least two adjustment every wear.

I now learn my lesson so will certainly be treating my other Kelly belts a lot better!

Hi TPFers,

Can anyone ID the belt in this photo from the aw18 scarf book?? I’ve been on both the Canadian and US websites and have had not luck identifying it.

Not the belt, but here is the same design in the choker necklace. There is also a samely named bracelet.

This is a decision you have to make for yourself.
Some might consider that any belt that is not black, brown or tan is unmanly.
It has been expressed on this thread that some DHs consider a Hermes H belt unmanly.

Clearly these are views not shared by most of us, but you can't let your personal style be dictated by others.
I prefer the Guilloched and would find noir/gold a more useful first belt.
But if that isn't your first choice, it does not matter - go with what you like.
Please look at your personal messages.

Does anyone know if the Hermes Kelly belt is all black on the inside and outside? I saw one on TRR, but was afraid it was fake.
