Brown Leather Belt for Men Leonardo Verrelli 3.8 cm

Brown is the easy choice with blue denim, beige chinos or navy trousers, and this belt wears just as well with each of them. It is a men's belt in genuine leather, made by Leonardo Verrelli.

At 3.8 cm wide and 3 mm thick, it suits jeans and casual trousers, and it is smart enough to go with suit trousers too. The leather is buffalo hide with a pronounced grain and a good solid thickness, the kind of material that picks up character the longer you wear it.

The pin buckle is the classic kind of fastening: the pin slots into whichever hole you choose, so there is nothing fiddly about putting it on or taking it off.

It comes in five lengths: 95 cm, 100 cm, 120 cm, 130 cm and 150 cm. To pick yours, take a belt that already fits you well and measure it from the buckle to the hole you actually use. Then choose the available length closest to that figure. Lengths are measured without the buckle, up to the central hole.

Looking after it takes very little. A nourishing balm now and then keeps the leather looking good, and if it gets wet, let it dry in the open air.

A belt gets worn every day, which makes this a practical gift for someone close to you as well as a sensible addition to your own wardrobe.
