The strap of this belt is cut from genuine leather and measures 3 mm thick, which is where its sturdy, dependable feel comes from. It is the sort of belt that holds its shape through daily wear, and that is exactly what you want from something you will reach for most mornings.
It comes from Leonardo Verrelli in a warm brown with a classic pin buckle, simple and easy to use. At 3.8 cm wide, it sits comfortably through the loops of jeans and work trousers, and it looks just as at home with a suit at the office. Brown is a friendly colour too: it adds a little warmth to beige trousers and finishes a casual outfit without shouting about it.
There are two lengths to choose from, 100 cm and 110 cm. Each one is measured from the buckle to the central hole, with adjustment holes either side of it, so you have room to fine-tune the fit. And if it turns out a touch too long, the belt can be shortened to exactly the length you like.
Not sure which size to pick? Take a belt you already wear that fits well and measure it from the buckle to the hole you fasten it on. Whichever of the two sizes is closest to that measurement is the right one for you.
Leather likes a little attention. Every so often, rub in some leather balm and leave the belt to dry in the open air, and it will stay supple and keep looking good for years. It is a simple, honest accessory, and one you will probably wear far more often than you expect.
