Q: What size does the Hermès Kelly 18 belt fit?
A: It is a one‑size design with a clever sliding system that adjusts roughly from 55 to 100 centimetres (about 21.7 to 39.4 inches), so you can wear it on the waist or the hips.

Q: How wide is the belt and will it fit my belt loops?
A: The strap is 18 mm (approximately 0.71 inches) wide. It suits most dress and narrow trouser loops; for wide loops, please measure your loops to ensure a good fit.

Q: How do I adjust and fasten the Kelly 18 belt?
A: To adjust, slide the rear adjusters to your preferred length; there are no holes to punch. To fasten, close the Kelly turn‑lock at the front to secure the strap.

Q: How should I care for Epsom leather and the buckle?
