Hey everyone, this is something that has been driving me crazy recently and I'm hoping some of you can help me out!

So I've been looking around online & locally for an Hermes strap & buckle (belt kit). All sold out in my area and it's my only way of getting one in time for a birthday. I'm looking to purchase one with the standard 32mm polished H buckle.

However, I've noticed from looking at a few sellers' online (not only eBay) that some buckles have 'MADE IN FRANCE' on the back, while others do not.

Did they only start adding 'MADE IN FRANCE' to the back of the buckle in 2012? But had it blank in 2011 & earlier? (I saw a user on TPF mention this in another thread however I don't know if this is correct)

Any help that pertains to this detail (or not) on the back of the buckle is much appreciated! (Particularly, just the standard H ones, brushed/polished 32mm). It's been on my mind the past several days and after quite a bit of research, I've decided to come here for help.

Thanks in advance!

I just checked all my Hermes buckles. The older ones (more than 5 yo) doesn't have the "Made in France"/etc stamp.
Couple of my newer ones that I bought last year has "Made in France" and "Made in Switzerland" stamp at the back. Different buckle design for these 2.
A bit difficult with Hermes because it almost seems like they are inconsistent in so many areas, but I'm sure they have their own reasons.
I can probably say that the newer buckle would have "Made in xxxxx" stamp at the back but not the older ones. Just an opinion though. :smile1:
Sorry if that wasn't too much help to clarify your question.

Hi guys! :smile1:

I have a question for all you belt experts! The belt I'm looking at says that it fits a waist size of 32-36". Now my waist size is 25", but I mainly wear my belts on my hips anyways. (Those low rise jeans, you know!)

My hips are ~35", perhaps 0.5-1" less. Do you think it would fit me properly? Or would it be too short/snug?
I believe the belt is a 32mm and then it says something about 95cm.

If any of you ladies (or men!) could be of assistance in helping me figure this out, that would be fabulous.

i am not an expert but i can give you suggestions. :) my waist is 26, hips is 34, and im having 80 cm belts. if i wear them with a midrise pants, the buckle will be in the 2nd hole. and if its going to be a hipster (low rise), the buckle will be in the last hole, which mean one of the holes will be exposed. i am considering buying an 85 next time because some of my pants are hipsters too ( i look curvy with those) .. :) and i think it will be a safer size for me as we can request for extra holes.. :) with your stats, i think we belong to the same bracket.. :) i recommend 80 or 85 if you'll wear it on your hips.. :)

I think a 95cm belt would be way too big for you. My waist is 28.5 and I take an 85. I think you could do a 70 or 75. :)

Thank-you so much ladies! I think I'll go with an 85 just to be on the safe side. I'd go with a 70/75 but I rarely ever wear waist belts and I would get much more use out of it on jeans, etc.

But yes, thank-you! I truly appreciate it!

Do H buckles come in 38mm? Or is it just 32mm and 42mm? I'm pretty confused cause I just saw someone selling a "38mm" one. Not sure if it was a typo or if it's probably fake.

I also see a 42mm belt kit for sale but after the HERMÈS marking on the buckle, it says "18k"...Is this a sign it's fake too?

Sorry, I'm new to Hermes products and this forum is one of my only ressources for help.

Thank you :smile1: I've been trying to use Hermes' website for reference, however I've noticed that they're always sold out of the main buckles & straps I'm interested in. :tdown: Also, I guess this means that 38mm does not even exist?

yes the belt kits are very popular and get snapped up the moment they appear online. i am not sure what the 38mm was referring to, is the measurement of the buckle or the strap? if it is the strap then doesn't sound right. buckles comes in various styles so they may all have different measurements. good luck and hope you find your belt kit soon. :smile1:

Thanks, i'm hoping to find the right one before the holidays! And the seller was referring to the strap as 38mm. I realize now that it's most likely a fake rather than a typo since I just noticed some other signs of it not being real, too. Btw it's just the classic 'H' buckle (polished) that I'm interested in :smile1:
