Q: What does Gucci size 70 mean and what waist does it fit?
A: On Gucci belts, the size is the distance from the buckle edge to the middle hole. A size 70 measures 70 cm to that centre hole and typically offers about 10 cm total adjustability across five holes, fitting roughly 65–75 cm (about 25.5–29.5 inches) depending on which hole you use. Measure where you plan to wear it (waist or hips) for best results.

Q: Is this GG Marmont belt reversible?
A: No. This classic black leather GG Marmont is single‑sided. Gucci makes specific reversible Marmont models and they are clearly described as reversible; this one is not.

Q: How wide is the belt and will it fit standard belt loops?
A: The belt is approximately 2 cm wide (see Measurements on this page). This slim width is designed to slide through most standard jeans and trouser belt loops with ease.

Q: Can I wear it on both my hips and at my natural waist?
A: Yes, but sizing differs between hip and waist wear. Choose the size that fits the larger placement you intend to wear most, then have a professional cobbler add extra holes if you’d like it to work in both positions.

Q: How many holes does a Gucci Marmont belt have, and can more be added?
A: Most Marmont belts come with five holes spaced about 2.5 cm apart, with the marked size corresponding to the middle hole. Additional holes can be added neatly by a professional cobbler; we do not recommend DIY punching as it can damage the leather and affect resale value.

Q: Will the antique gold‑tone Double G buckle scratch or tarnish?
A: Light surface scratches and a gentle patina are normal with wear. Many Gucci buckles are brass‑based with a plated finish, so contact with moisture, lotions, or abrasives can hasten dulling. Wipe hardware with a soft dry cloth after use, avoid chemicals/metal polishes, and store the belt away from humidity.

Q: How should I care for the leather strap?
A: Keep it dry, wipe with a soft cloth, and avoid solvents or harsh cleaners. Store flat or gently rolled in a breathable dust bag, away from direct heat and sunlight. Occasional light conditioning of smooth leather may be helpful; always test first on an inconspicuous area.

Q: Does this belt have a serial number and where would I find it?
A: Authentic Gucci belts typically have interior heat‑stamps near the buckle that read Gucci and Made in Italy, along with a numeric production code. These numbers are internal references rather than a public registration. Check our photos for the specific stamping on this piece.
