Blue Leather Belt for Men with Pin Buckle - Leonardo Verrelli

This belt comes in five lengths, 90 cm, 100 cm, 110 cm, 120 cm and 130 cm, and every one of them is 3.8 cm wide. That width sits comfortably through the loops of jeans and relaxed trousers without looking bulky or fussy, which is exactly where you will wear it most.

Picking your length is simple. Take your waist measurement, then remember that the length shown runs from the buckle (not included in the measurement) to the middle hole. If you already own a belt that fits you well, lay it flat and measure from the buckle to the hole you actually fasten. That number is the size to choose from the five on offer.

The colour is a proper blue, and it is easier to style than you might expect. It pairs nicely with white, beige and grey, so a pale shirt and stone chinos or a grey knit and dark denim all work without much thought. It moves from office days to weekend plans without a change of outfit.

The belt is made of genuine leather, 3 mm thick, which gives it a solid feel and an authentic look. It carries the signature of Leonardo Verrelli. Closing it takes no effort at all: the pin buckle has a prong that slips into the hole you need, and that is all there is to it.

A little care goes a long way. Feed the leather regularly with a leather cream to keep it supple. If it gets caught in the rain, let it dry in the open air and keep it well away from a radiator, as direct heat is no friend to leather. If it turns out slightly long for you, it can be shortened without any trouble.

Looking for a present for your partner? A belt is something he will reach for every single day, which makes it a gift that gets used rather than left in a drawer. Going from jeans to smarter trousers, it quietly finishes the outfit.
