Hi, I just wanted to ask about my Togo/Black Box belt. The Togo (Etoupe) side is perfect. The Black Box side has several fine lines down it, possibly small cracks in the leather? It has been used a lot and I just wanted to check this was normal, after all, it is curved around my body in use so can't be kept "straight".

I am in the process of using Docrides B&O treatment and it has softened a lot, so will this stop further cracks developing?

If you wear the Togo side often, it does cause very fine "wrinkles" on the Box side, because the leather grain becomes "compressed". Wearing the Box side often stretches out the leather fibers, making the lines seem less obvious.

Having stretch/flex lines on Box leather is normal - if you curl your belt strap in two different ways (Box inside a loop, and then outside) you should see how the grain "reacts" and the lines seem to appear or disappear.

You should only be worried if the dye is peeling and exposing the leather fibers below it.

Thanks for the reply :smile1:

I thought I was using the sides equally, lately I have been using the Box side outermost rather than the Togo side. It's not peeling or exposed at present so that's something to be thankful for. I will see how things go, thank you.

The strap, the buckle, 1 box (the buckle in the center and the strap is going around the outside of the same box) and the buckle is inside a pouch.... Like so. And Cites, if the strap is exotic. Period.

H boutique doesn't sell buckles without the purchase of a strap at the same time. You can purchase a strap without a buckle from a boutique. Have never seen an orange card with ANY H purchase EVER. HTH!

Hello I have a question: is a 32MM Hermes Belt bigger than a 42MM belt? Also what is the exact width measurements of a 42MM belt people are telling different width measurements.

Thanks in advance
