Looking for a present for a man who wears the same worn-out belt every day? A black genuine leather belt is the kind of gift that gets used straight away and keeps getting used. This one comes from Leonardo Verrelli, and it is made for the man who likes things simple and dependable.
It measures 100 cm in length and 3.8 cm in width, with a thickness of 3 mm. That width sits comfortably through the loops of jeans and work trousers, so it suits an ordinary weekday as well as a weekend. The closure is a classic pin buckle, easy to fasten and easy to trust.
The leather is genuine, a sturdy material that develops a lovely patina as the months go by. To keep it looking its best, give it a little leather balm now and then and let it dry in the open air. A belt cared for this way ages gracefully rather than just wearing out.
Black is the colour that never lets you down. It works with denim just as well as with smart trousers or a suit, and a good belt does more than people realise, since it defines the waist and finishes the whole outfit. If the belt turns out a touch too long, it can be shortened.
Not sure whether 100 cm is the right fit? Take a belt that already suits him, measure it from the buckle to the hole he fastens it on, and compare that figure with 100 cm. The length given here is measured without the buckle, up to the central hole, so choose the size that matches his waist.
