[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.View attachment 4204976View attachment 4204977

I bought a brand new belt that had the same splits on one hole. I still bought it. I figured it would happen eventually from the taking the buckle on and off.

I don't think you should have splits around the hole unless you have pulled the strap very highly. There should not be any sign of splits around the hole with a new strap.
Some ovalling of the a round hole might reasonably occur with use.

My thoughts exactly. I have over 10 H belts, use them daily and no splits around the holes, not even with 5 year old straps.

It should't have and they shouldn't have sold it to you. It'a a sign someone's yanked the belt off in a tearing hurry literally. None of mine have split holes and I've had them years.

Even if someone uses the belt tightly, holes should only stretch and become looser/wider with wear, they shouldn't tear. For the integrity of the strap, no SA/craftsperson should ever add more than 2 extra holes in the strap, this could be one reason that strap (with 6 holes punched) was compromised.

Ok thank you for this. I wanted the extra 3 holes so the damage is on me. I didn’t want to take it to H and complain if it was my doing. I’ll use and enjoy the belt until I can’t anymore [emoji4]

Anyone have outfit tips/inspiration on how to wear your GHW Constance belt in a subtle way? I bought GHW instead of PHW as I originally wanted (see sob story below :doh:) and I’m struggling to dress it down for my casual style. I’m into minimalist/slightly edgy looks a la Theory, Vince, Max Mara etc... the gold buckle just seems really shiny and blingy instead of classic on me as I hoped.

Sob story: I bought the GHW during a trip thinking I’d either live with it or exchange it for PHW when I got home (couldn’t find it anywhere while abroad). Lo and behold finally found PHW at my local store, but when I went in they told me that, because I took off the plastic coating already, my buckle wasn’t in sellable condition anymore and they couldn’t exchange it for me. :-s I do think the gold is a classic look so I don’t regret buying it in the first place ... just now trying to figure out how it fits into my wardrobe.
