Leonardo Verrelli Men's Brown Genuine Leather Belt, Pin Buckle

This brown belt is made to go with jeans, a beige chino or navy trousers, which covers most of what a man wears day to day. It is cut from genuine leather and signed by Leonardo Verrelli, and it works just as well at the office as at the weekend.

The belt is 3.8 cm wide and 3 mm thick. That width suits jeans and relaxed trousers particularly well, and it is still smart enough to wear with smarter trousers for a meeting. The closure is a classic pin buckle with a row of holes, so you adjust it simply by choosing the hole that fits.

It comes in five lengths: 100 cm, 110 cm, 120 cm, 130 cm and 140 cm. The length is measured from the buckle, which is not counted, to the central hole.

To choose your size, take your waist measurement and pick the length that matches it. Another way is to measure a belt that already fits you well, from the buckle to the hole you normally use, and take the closest of the five lengths.

If the belt turns out slightly long, it can be shortened in a few minutes.

To keep the leather in good condition, treat it a few times a year with a suitable cream. If it gets wet in the rain, let it dry in the open air and keep it away from a radiator. It also makes a practical gift for a man you know.
