Braided Fabric Belt for Men and Women, Grey, Brown Buckle

Most belts ask you to settle for whichever hole is nearest. This braided fabric belt does not, because the prong slips between the woven threads rather than into fixed holes, so you can set the fit exactly where you want it. It is a small difference, and the kind you notice every time you put it on.

The belt is cut in a soft grey, a quiet shade that sits easily alongside black, white and blue. The brown prong buckle adds a gentle contrast without drawing attention to itself. It is unisex, so it suits anyone, and it works equally well with chinos or smarter trousers. The fabric gives it a relaxed, slightly holiday feel, which makes it an easy companion for a weekend as much as a working day.

It is 3.2 cm wide and 5 mm thick, and comes in three lengths: 100 cm, 110 cm and 120 cm. To choose yours, measure a belt that already fits you well, from the buckle to the hole you use most, then pick the closest of the three lengths.

Looking after it is simple. Clean it by hand in lukewarm, lightly soapy water, then leave it to dry flat, away from any source of heat. Treated this way, it stays a dependable, understated accessory you can reach for on almost any occasion.
