Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What does Gucci size 85 mean, and what waist/hip does it fit? A: On Gucci belts, the size is measured from the buckle to the centre hole. A size 85 is 85 cm (about 33.5 in) to the middle hole. With five holes spaced roughly 2.5 cm apart, it typically fits around 80–90 cm depending on whether you wear it at the waist or on the hips. Measuring with a tape at your preferred wearing position is the most reliable check.
Q: I switch between wearing belts on the waist and on the hips with denim. Will size 85 still work? A: Fit changes with position. If you prefer a high‑waist fit and are near the lower end of the range, some shoppers choose one size down from their hip size; if you wear it low on the hips, stay true to your hip measurement. Always measure over the waistband where you plan to wear it.
Q: How wide is this belt and will it fit my belt loops? A: Gucci belts commonly come in 2 cm, 3 cm and 4 cm widths. Most denim accommodates 3–4 cm, while some tailored trousers suit 2–3 cm. Please check the Measurements on this page for the strap width and compare it with your belt loops.
Q: How do I switch between the black and orange sides? A: Reversible Gucci belts typically use a rotating or flip mechanism at the buckle. Lift the buckle gently, rotate it 180 degrees, and thread the strap from the other side. If the buckle uses small screws or a clamp, loosen it carefully before flipping. Do not force the mechanism; if it feels stiff, consult a leather specialist.
Q: Can this belt be shortened or have extra holes added? A: A skilled cobbler can usually shorten the belt from the buckle end so any trimming is hidden, and they can add extra holes neatly. Any modification is at your discretion and may affect brand warranties or future resale, so we recommend using a reputable leather specialist.
Q: Will the gold‑tone Interlocking G buckle scratch or tarnish? A: Plated hardware can develop micro‑scratches with normal wear and may dull or tarnish over time. Minimise this by avoiding contact with hard surfaces, wiping with a soft dry cloth after wear, and storing it so the buckle doesn’t rub against other metal.
Q: How should I care for the pebbled leather on this reversible belt? A: Keep leather away from direct light, heat and rain. If exposed to moisture, dry promptly with a soft cloth. Clean gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth and condition sparingly a few times per year. Store flat or hanging to avoid sharp creases and preserve the belt’s shape.
Q: Is the belt authentic and where is it made? A: This piece is crafted in Italy. Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stamps and hardware; we stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. If an item such as a dust bag or box is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How does size 85 translate to clothing sizes? A: As a guide, Gucci lists size 85 as approximately 33.4 inches to the wearing point. This often corresponds to around men’s US trousers 30 (IT 44) or women’s UK 10/US 6, depending on where it is worn. Your actual waist/hip measurement and preferred wearing position should take priority when choosing a size.
