the holes in my belt buckle stretched from constant wear. the buckle sometimes come out of the belt because the holes get bigger than the buckle stud. has this happened to anyone? i'm now scared to use my other H belts because of the stretching.

I think this will happen to all belts in this category. It`s pity that the hole that holds the buckle in position probably also will stretch after using the belt on both sides several times. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do to prevent it. I think the best way to keep the buckle in position is to keep the belt as tight as possible.

chincac:I'm very happy to hear you say this! I have 2 belt kits and I love them very much but refrain from wearing them to prevent scratching and the belt holes opening up. Hearing your testimony makes me feel a lot better about using them more often.

Can anyone tell me if it is difficult to buy a belt (belt kit) in store? I know they sell out almost immediately online and am wondering how hard it will be to find one in store.
I need to go to the store to try on sizes. Also, is the price online the same instore? I don't like price suprises!

Thanks for any help! :smile1:

A SA told me that this always happens when people wear the belts/strap too tight!
That's why I always choose a 90 instead of a 85 (which would fit al well) and wear my straps a little bit loose!

I think the price is almost the same!
It depends if you look for a special combination or one of the classics.
The often have gold/black, chocolate/black or étoupe/black - the bright combinations (at the moment crocus/blue hydra or mango/gold) are harder to find IMO!

the buckle will scratch no matter what, but it is not very noticeable. the strap will scratch too if it is in box but the scratched bits are covered by the buckle. as long as you don't wear the belts too tightly, i don't see any reason why the holes will stretch!

agree! don't see why the holes will stretch unless it is buckled too tight..

it is not difficult to get the belt kits in store if they have inventory, unless you are looking for specific combo. sometimes they may not have your size though! it sells out quickly in stores too, perhaps call or visit the store regularly so you can get exactly what you want. prices are the same online and in stores. good luck.

It is waiting list for a belt-kit at the Hermès store here in Oslo.

-As regards to stretching and wearing belts loose or tight: The belt doesn`t look great, and doesn`t sit well if it`s too loose. A man doesn`t have a girl`s hip to hold the throusers up, so we are more dependent on having a tight belt so the throusers doesn`t slip down. ;)
