Thank you very much @acrowcounted . I love it! It’s strange because there is an etrier belt, however it is a completely different style. I will keep my eyes peeled over the next few months and hope to find it!
Yes, I noticed that after I posted. It seems like the current one with that name uses only one "D" from the Etrier design. I almost wonder if the model in that picture is wearing a modified choker/bracelet with an extension.

ETA- H is notoriously bad at naming conventions though and often names several unique pieces by the same name so you really need the H ref number for clarity. Good luck on your hunt.

I also thought about a modified choker once you posted it, but thought surely H wouldn’t use a modified product in advertising...but I am slowly learning that one never knows when it comes to H.

Thank you again!
 
Which will b better option for men belt - I Noir/ rouge Grenat strap or noir/gold strap . To b worn with jeans mostly. Buckle will be palladium Hammered or Guilloched. Kindly advise .
Hi there,
I’m sorry but I’m not an expert in H belt as I only currently have 4 in my collection. Nor an expert in men’s. All I can say is that my husband’s choice of H belt is this... the black one is his (mine is the blue)

He didn’t want an “in your face H” so he picked this more subtle Hermes belt in Noir/Étain color combo. He wears this more for dress pants though. HthE5687B9D-F401-49FE-9642-6593E918E68B.png
 
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.
Thanks a ton

If I buy rouge Grenat belt den should d colour of shoes b same ? Or can wear navy blue leather Gucci shoes with it also ????
 
I usually match belt with shoe color if it is a formal event...otherwise it’s a free for all!!!!
Thanks. One more general query .
On the online Hermes website noir/ rouge Grenat strap is not showing now , it was dere one week ago.... But in Hermes shop it’s available. Does it mean it’s discontinued due to any bad reason like less sale etc.. And in stores wen I saw manufacturing date of belt dat was of 2016 and buckles also 2017 . Does dat makes any difference on d life of leather ??? I mean buying a freshly manufactured leather belt vs buying 2yr old manufactured new belt from Hermes store ???

Although the items are the same, the on-line availability is not the same as what you can buy in Hermes walk in shops. You can order on-line to collect at a Hermes shop, but Hermes shops cannot order items from the on-line side of the business. If you have to travel a long way, it would be a good idea to contact your local store to check if it has what you want or wish to see, then ask for it to be kept for you.

Hermes merchandise is sold quickly so you are unlikely to buy a 2yr old manufactured belt from a Hermes store unless it a size that few people take.

If you want to wear navy loafers why not consider an indigo side to your belt.

[emoji24]took my 24mm belt out today that I got last year in Italy and noticed one of the holes has a fairly significant crack in the leather. I have worn this belt maybe 3 times. I am considering taking it to my local SA to see what he thinks, but thought I would check with you guys first. I have altered the belt to include 3 additional holes, but the hole with the issue was an original H one. Let me know what you think I should do or if I should just live with it.IMG_3230.jpgIMG_3231.jpg
