Men's Black Leather Belt with Silver-Tone Pin Buckle 90-150 cm

Some things in your wardrobe earn their place by being used every single day, and this belt is one of them. It keeps your trousers where they belong, finishes an outfit in a second, and goes with whatever you pull out of the drawer, from denim on a Saturday to chinos on a Tuesday. Black is the easy choice here: it sits just as happily with a pair of jeans as it does with a suit.

The belt is made from genuine leather and closes with a silver pin buckle, the simple kind that does its job without fuss. It comes from the brand Leonardo Verrelli and is available in seven lengths: 90 cm, 100 cm, 110 cm, 120 cm, 130 cm, 140 cm and 150 cm. To keep the leather in good shape, rub in a little leather cream a few times a year, because well-fed leather simply lasts longer. It also makes a thoughtful, no-nonsense gift for a friend.

Choosing your size is easy. Take a belt that already fits you and measure it from the buckle to the hole you actually use, then pick the length that matches among the seven on offer. The length of this belt is measured without the buckle, up to the middle hole. If it turns out a touch long, it can be shortened without any trouble.
