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 size is this Gucci Horsebit chain belt and how does Gucci sizing work? A: This piece is marked size 90. Gucci sizes are measured in centimetres and, on leather styles, usually correspond to the length to the centre hole. As a vintage chain belt with a T‑bar/toggle closure, this design offers flexible adjustability by choosing different links, so you can wear it slightly tighter or looser at the waist or hips. Please refer to the Measurements on this page to confirm the best fit for you.
Q: How do I fasten and adjust the T‑bar/toggle closure? A: Insert the T‑bar through your chosen chain link and turn it horizontally to secure. To tighten or loosen, simply move to another link. This incremental adjustment makes it easy to style over knitwear, dresses, blazers or through suitably wide belt loops.
Q: What is the belt made of, and will the gold‑tone finish tarnish? A: It is crafted from gold‑tone metal. Gold‑tone finishes can naturally dull over time with exposure to air, moisture and skin oils. Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth after wear, avoid contact with perfumes, lotions and sanitiser, and store it in a cool, dry place in the dust bag. For deeper cleaning, use a non‑abrasive jewellery cloth only or consult a professional to preserve the plating.
Q: Will it fit through standard trouser belt loops? A: Chain belts are often worn cinched over clothing. Whether it will pass through loops depends on the garment and link dimensions. Please check the Measurements on this page for width; if your loops are wider than the chain and the links can pass through, it may work, but most wearers style it over knitwear, dresses or a tailored blazer.
Q: Is the Horsebit motif an authentic Gucci house code? A: Yes. The horsebit is one of Gucci’s most recognisable equestrian‑inspired signatures dating back to the mid‑20th century and appears across belts, handbags and footwear. This chain design nods to that heritage.
Q: Is the belt unisex? A: The design is timeless and can be worn by any wearer. The key considerations are the length and where you intend to place it (waist versus hip). The chain closure allows fine adjustments for comfortable styling.
Q: Can the length be permanently altered by removing links? A: Day‑to‑day fit is adjusted by choosing different links with the T‑bar. Permanent alterations such as removing links should only be carried out by an experienced jeweller, as improper work can damage plating or structure. A Retro Tale does not modify vintage pieces; any alteration would be at the buyer’s discretion.
Q: What is included and how should I store it? A: Everything included is listed in the product information. This belt comes with a dust bag. Store the belt laid flat or gently coiled in its dust bag, away from direct sunlight and humidity.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, hardware and stamps. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide further details on request.
