Men's Brown Genuine Leather Belt with Silver Pin Buckle

Some belts earn their place by being easy to live with, and this is one of them. It is a men's belt in brown genuine leather, made to be worn day after day without fuss, and it sits comfortably at the waist from the first morning.

The buckle is a silver pin buckle, the simple kind: the pin slips into whichever hole suits you and that is all there is to it. At the office it sits quietly alongside your trousers without drawing attention, which is rather the point. The leather is 4 mm thick, and the belt comes from Leonardo Verrelli.

Brown is a forgiving colour and works well with natural tones such as denim, beige, khaki or navy. Genuine leather is a hard-wearing material that gains character with use, so the belt tends to look better as the months go by.

It is available in five lengths: 100 cm, 110 cm, 120 cm, 130 cm and 140 cm. The length shown is measured without the buckle, up to the middle hole. To choose, take a belt that already fits you well and measure it from the buckle to the hole you actually use, then pick the closest of the five lengths. If you fall between two sizes, it can be shortened when needed.

Looking after it takes very little. Nourish the leather with a leather cream a few times a year, and if it gets caught in the rain, let it dry naturally, well away from a radiator.

It also makes a sensible gift for a man, since it is the sort of accessory that gets used every single day rather than left in a drawer.
