A belt earns its place by being easy to live with, and this one is built for that. It is a men's belt in brown genuine leather from Leonardo Verrelli, with a pin buckle and a plain, uncluttered look that suits daily wear. You can put it on in the morning without a second thought and keep your trousers where they should be all day.
The strap is 3.8 cm wide and 3 mm thick, a width that works well with jeans and work trousers and holds its shape under use. It comes in five lengths: 90 cm, 100 cm, 110 cm, 120 cm and 130 cm. If you land between two sizes, the belt can be shortened to fit.
To choose your length, take a belt that already fits you well and measure it from the buckle to the hole you use most, then pick the size closest to that figure. The length stated is measured without the buckle, up to the central hole, so it corresponds to your waist measurement.
Brown goes easily with natural shades such as beige, khaki and navy, so it pairs as readily with chinos at the weekend as with a suit at work. To keep the leather in good condition, moisturise it a few times a year with a suitable cream, and if it gets wet, let it dry in the open air. It also makes a sensible gift for someone who wears a belt every day.
