Frequently Asked Questions
How does the nubuck lining prevent dye transfer on light-colored trousers?
The natural nubuck leather lining acts as a protective barrier between the dyed chocolate suede exterior and your clothing. This construction ensures that the rich color remains on the belt, protecting lighter fabrics like khaki or cream chinos from color bleeding during daily wear.
How will the sueded calf and solid brass patina develop over time with daily wear?
The sueded calf will soften and conform to your waistline, while the nap develops a subtle, burnished character at high-friction points. Simultaneously, the unplated solid satin brass oval buckle will oxidize slightly, acquiring a muted, antiqued finish that enhances the belt's timeless aesthetic.
Is the 1-1/4 inch strap suitable for tailored suit loops?
Yes, the 1-1/4 inch width is the traditional standard for dress and business casual trousers. It fits seamlessly through the loops of tailored suits, worsted wool slacks, and refined chinos without stretching the fabric or appearing overly bulky.

Let’s find your fit!
To find your belt size, measure your existing belt from the point where the strap loops over the buckle to the hole you currently use. That distance in inches is the belt size.
Odd sizes should round up to the next even size; even sizes should not round up. For example: if you measure a size 33, round up and order a size 34; but if you measure a size 34, don’t round up — just order a size 34.
