Leonardo Verrelli Men's Belt in Brown Genuine Leather

The strap of this Leonardo Verrelli belt is cut from genuine leather and measures 2.5 mm thick, enough body to hold your trousers firmly in place without feeling stiff. It is closed with a classic pin buckle, the sort of fastening that has earned its place by simply working, day after day.

At 3.8 cm wide, it sits comfortably through the loops of jeans, chinos and other relaxed trousers, and the brown colour fits naturally with denim and earthy, natural tones. In town it gives a chino some structure without making the outfit look overdone. It comes in four lengths: 100 cm, 110 cm, 120 cm and 130 cm. If one turns out slightly long, the strap can be shortened.

To pick your size, take a belt you already own and that fits well, then measure it from the buckle (not included in the length) to the hole you fasten it on. That figure is the length to choose. Like any leather, this belt lasts longer when you look after it, so rub in a little leather cream from time to time and keep it away from prolonged damp.
