Size Guide Belt

Find your perfect size


Brands use different methods to determine belt sizes. Therefore, we ask that you follow our size guide when choosing our belts to avoid any inconvenience later.

Belt size
hip circumference
CM inches
80/32
75-85 30-34
85/34
80-90 32-36
90/36
85-95 34-38
95/38
90-100 36-40
100/40
95-105 38-42
105/42
100-110 40-44
110/44
105-115 42-46

Additional notes:
- Wear the type of pants you plan to wear with the belt, as the thickness of the pants material can affect your hip size.
- If you don't have a flexible tape measure handy, thread a cord, cable, or ribbon through your belt loops, mark the point where it goes exactly once around your hips, and measure the distance with a regular tape measure.
- The pin should ideally fit through the center hole to ensure there's neither too much nor too little belt. The length from the center hole to the belt tip is 15 cm (total belt length = belt size + 15 cm; example: belt size 95 = total belt length 110).

Handcrafted in Germany of elegant Spanish full-grain calf leather upper and vegetable-tanned lining leather, the 3.5cm/1.4in wide belt strap will look the part when paired with casual or formal outfits. Taking off and putting on the buckle is seamless, only takes a few seconds, and will hold up your pants just like any regular belt. As an added bonus, our pin system comes with a very convenient side-effect: You won’t have to take off your entire belt at airport security anymore. Simply take off the buckle and you will be good to go.

Know what you are buying

The fashion industry is notoriously opaque and deceiving. As a consumer you get hardly any reliable information on the actual origin of the materials and manufacturing conditions. To us, that is fundamentally wrong. You have every right to know exactly what you are buying. That is the only way to make better purchasing decisions.

OUR MANUFACTORY FOR CLASSIC BELTS
Hamburg, Germany

 

"Made in" labels are unfortunately a gross oversimplification. For a product to be legally labeled, for example, "Made in Italy," it is sufficient if the final essential production step takes place in Italy. The term "essential" is often stretched to the limit. Many brands, including many luxury brands, exploit this loophole and have their products manufactured in low-wage countries in Eastern Europe and the Far East before they are "finished" in Italy. Unfortunately, as a customer, you are usually unaware of this. To us, that is not only completely wrong, but also unacceptable. That is why all of our products are proudly crafted in family-owned workshops in Italy, Germany and Portugal where all artisans are treated with the respect they deserve.

Our Classic Belt Manufactory is the first Manufactory we ever worked with and will always have a special place in our hearts. Dating all the way back to 1825, it is not just the oldest belt Manufactory in Germany but also one of the very best. Every single belt is handcrafted of the finest materials by experienced artisans with the high aspiration to last a lifetime.

PREISMATRIX

We all know that fashion brands heavily mark-up their prices. But do we really know by how much? We certainly didn't and what we found out shocked us. Traditional retail brands mark-up their prices by 5-6 times. Luxury brands mark-up their prices by staggering 10-15 times. To us, that is unjustifiable. We cut out the middle man, sell directly to you and pass the savings on to you. Our average mark-up is 3 times and we reveal our exact production costs. You deserve to know.

Premium Spanish Calf Leather

Leather is the main component of our straps which is why we make no compromises when it comes to it. The leather is gorgeous full-grain Spanish calf leather from Curtidos Badia, one of the world’s most esteemed tanneries trusted by many of the foremost luxury brands.

Function Meets Form

Our belt straps are created to effortlessly combine innovative functionality and traditional design. The 3 pin-system allows for a quick and easy buckle exchange and the handmade classic belt strap makes for a refined detail which adds the finishing touches to any outfit.

200 Years of Experience

It takes the collaboration of 4 artisans and 18 steps to craft one single Classic Suede Belt. The combination of more than 200 years of experience and excellent materials ensures the exceptional longevity and refined appearance of our belts.

Climate & Plastic Positive

For every single order, we plant one tree with our partner On A Mission and remove 80 plastic bottles from our beloved Oceans with our partner Empower. We are very proud to be a climate-positive and plastic-positive Company. All of our belts are packaged completely plastic-free in a beautiful black belt box made of FSC certified paper and come with a cotton dust bag from Italy. Every product has a footprint. We do everything in our power to make sure it’s a positive one.
