Q: What does size 85 mean and how do I check if it will fit me? A: Hermès belts are sized in centimetres and measured from the base of the buckle tongue to the hole you use most. If your waist (or where you plan to wear the belt) measures around 85 cm, size 85 should sit at the centre hole with a little room either side for adjustment.
Q: Can I interchange the H buckle with other Hermès buckles or straps? A: Hermès buckles and straps are designed to be mixed within the same width family only (for example, a 32 mm buckle with a 32 mm strap). They are not cross‑compatible across different widths. Always confirm your strap width before swapping components.
Q: Can the belt be shortened or have extra holes added? A: We do not modify vintage belts. A specialist leather workshop may add holes or adjust length, but this can affect appearance and future value. Hermès boutiques may offer certain after‑sales services; please check with your local store for options.

Q: What does size 85 mean and how do I check if it will fit me? A: Hermès belts are sized in centimetres and measured from the base of the buckle tongue to the hole you use most. If your waist (or where you plan to wear the belt) measures around 85 cm, size 85 should sit at the centre hole with a little room either side for adjustment.
Q: Is this belt reversible and how do I switch sides safely? A: Yes. This piece features a reversible leather strap (black on one side, brown on the other). To reverse it, slide the buckle off, flip the strap, and reattach the buckle, ensuring the peg aligns cleanly with the holes. Avoid forcing the hardware to prevent scratches.
Q: Can I interchange the H buckle with other Hermès buckles or straps? A: Hermès buckles and straps are designed to be mixed within the same width family only (for example, a 32 mm buckle with a 32 mm strap). They are not cross‑compatible across different widths. Always confirm your strap width before swapping components.
Q: What does the stamp “Square G (2003)” indicate? A: Hermès uses a blind‑stamp code to date its leather goods. A square around the letter G corresponds to the production year 2003 for this piece.
Q: What exactly is included with this item? A: This belt comes with its box. Everything included is listed in the product information section on this page; if an item (such as a dust bag or extra strap) isn’t listed there, it is not included.
Q: How should I care for the leather and buckle? A: Wipe the leather with a soft, dry cloth and keep it away from moisture, oils, heat and prolonged direct sunlight. Store it flat or gently rolled in its box or a breathable pouch, allowing the leather to rest between wears. Clean the buckle with a microfibre cloth only; avoid abrasive polishes. For deep cleaning or repairs, consult a specialist.
Q: Can the belt be shortened or have extra holes added? A: We do not modify vintage belts. A specialist leather workshop may add holes or adjust length, but this can affect appearance and future value. Hermès boutiques may offer certain after‑sales services; please check with your local store for options.
Q: Is the H buckle solid gold? A: Hermès belt buckles typically feature plated finishes (for example, gold‑plated, palladium or permabrass looks) rather than solid precious metal. Expect normal hairline marks from gentle use on plated finishes.
Q: How do you authenticate this belt? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of leather, stitching, hardware, stamps and date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional details on request.
