Genuine leather has a character that synthetic materials rarely match, and this brown belt from Leonardo Verrelli shows it well. The warm tone of the hide suits a relaxed outfit, and it settles into a quietly authentic look that gains a little more depth the more often you wear it.
The silver-tone pin buckle keeps things simple. The prong slips into the hole that suits you and the belt is fastened, with no fuss and nothing to learn. At 3.5 mm thick, it gives a trouser waistband a clean line without drawing attention to itself, which makes it an easy companion for town wear as much as for weekends.
It comes in five lengths for men: 100 cm, 110 cm, 120 cm, 125 cm and 140 cm. The length is measured without the buckle, up to the middle hole, so choose the size that matches your waist. If you are unsure, take a belt that already fits you well and measure it from the buckle to the hole you use most, then pick the closest available length. Should it turn out slightly long, it can be shortened.
To keep the leather supple, apply a little leather balm from time to time and let it dry in the open air. Worn daily and looked after in this way, it makes a sensible, thoughtful gift for a man who appreciates practical things done well.
