Men's Brown Genuine Leather Belt 3.8 cm Leonardo Verrelli

You pull on your jeans in the morning, thread the belt through the loops and it just sits right. That is the idea behind this men's brown belt from Leonardo Verrelli, made for ordinary days at work and at the weekend.

It is made from genuine leather, a buffalo hide that is thick and hard-wearing, about 4 mm deep. At 3.8 cm wide, it suits jeans and work trousers particularly well, and it looks just as comfortable with smarter suit trousers. The leather will take on a patina with use, so the belt changes a little with every month you wear it.

The buckle is a classic black pin buckle with a row of holes, a simple closure that needs no explanation. Brown goes easily with natural shades such as beige, khaki and navy, so it fits into most of what you already own. The belt can also be shortened to the exact length you want.

It comes in four lengths: 120 cm, 130 cm, 140 cm and 150 cm. The length is measured from the buckle, which is not included in the figure, to the middle hole. To choose, take a belt that already fits you well and measure it from the buckle to the hole you use. Then pick the size closest to that figure.

Leather likes a little attention. Rub in some leather cream from time to time and keep the belt away from prolonged damp, and it will stay supple for years.
