Men's Grey Genuine Leather Belt with Pin Buckle 3.8 cm 100-110 cm

This belt starts with a single piece of genuine leather, 3 mm thick and 3.8 cm wide, which is what gives it its body. It holds its shape through daily wear and still feels comfortable once it is on, so it never ends up as the belt you only wear when you have to.

It closes with a classic pin buckle, simple in shape and easy to adjust. There is nothing fussy about it, and that is rather the point: you do it up in a second and get on with your day. It comes from Leonardo Verrelli and is cut for men, in two lengths, 100 cm and 110 cm.

The colour is a quiet grey that sits happily next to black, white and blue, so it slips into most wardrobes without any effort. At 3.8 cm, the width suits jeans and relaxed trousers particularly well, and it works just as nicely with chinos when you want something a little smarter. It also makes a thoughtful gift for someone who would use it every week.

Choosing the length is straightforward. The size given is measured without the buckle, up to the central hole, so pick the one that matches your waist. If you already own a belt that fits well, measure it from the buckle to the hole you use most and go for the closest size. And if yours turns out a touch long, it can be shortened without any trouble.

Looking after it takes very little. Treat the leather with a bit of cream now and then, and if it gets caught in the rain, let it dry naturally in the open air. Do that, and this belt will keep its good looks for a long time.
