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.

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).

The classic braided belt optic has prevailed as a staple accessory for many years as it can be easily dressed up or down depending on the occasion. The fine Italian suede leather used to craft this belt is so soft it has an almost velvet-like touch. Accompanied by viscose lining and a sleek silver brass buckle, this 3.5cm/1,4in wide braided belt transforms into an accessory of modern sophistication embodying the concept of the casual chic. The braided style pattern allows you to tie the belt wherever it fits best providing ultimate comfort.

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 BRAIDED BELTS
Milan, Italy

"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.

In 2017, we set out on the bold quest to find the very best braided belt maker. After many months, we finally found what we were looking for. The fourth generation family business has been honing their skills since 1913 and is known around the world for their exceptional high-quality braided belts. The Manufactory has already worked with many of the most esteemed luxury brands.

High-Quality Brass Buckle

Material: Solid Brass
Origin of material: Italy
Manufactory: Undisclosed

No belt is complete without the right buckle. That is why we use high-quality solid brass, the benchmark material for luxury belts. The buckles are created in a family-owned Manufactory near Brescia dating back to 1972. Finding a good buckle Manufactory is surprisingly difficult. That is why we are not disclosing the name of our Manufactory. Some secrets are just not meant to be revealed. We hope you understand.

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 Italian Suede Leather

Leather is the main component of our braided suede belts and we make no compromises when it comes to it. The leather is ICEC certified velvety suede leather offering a beautiful soft touch. The raw hides are side-products of the meat industry and are tanned in compliance with the strict REACH Regulations.

Timeless Elegance

Braided suede belts have enjoyed great popularity due to their timeless elegance for many decades. Paired with a simple yet elegant solid brass buckle, the belt turns into a versatile accessory which can be effortlessly worn with more formal or casual attire and will always look the part.

100 Years Experience

It takes the collaboration of 9 Italian artisans and 12 steps to craft one single braided suede belt. The combination of more than 100 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.
