Q: What does size 95 mean on this Hermès H belt?
A: Hermès belts are sized in centimetres. A size 95 belt is generally intended for someone who measures around 95 cm at the point where they normally wear the belt. Hermès advises measuring from the base of the buckle tongue to the hole you use most on a belt that already fits well.

Q: Is this belt suitable for everyday wear?
A: Yes. The Hermès H belt is designed as a practical luxury accessory for regular wear. This piece is listed in good condition, with wear around the holes, scratches and scuffs to the leather, and shiny hardware with scratches, so it is best suited to buyers who are comfortable with gentle signs of previous use.

Q: Is this a reversible Hermès belt?
A: Many Hermès H belts are made with reversible straps, and this style is widely known for that design. However, please rely on the photos and product information for this specific item when assessing the exact finish and how it is configured.

Q: What width is this belt?
A: The listed width is 3 cm. That makes it a versatile size that works well with many trouser loops and also gives the classic Hermès H buckle a balanced, noticeable look without being overly wide.

Q: What accessories are included with this belt?
A: No extras are included with this item. As stated in the product information, it comes with no accessories. If an original box, dust bag or receipt is not listed in the product information, it should be assumed not to be included.

Q: How should I care for a vintage Hermès leather belt?
A: Store it flat or loosely rolled in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, heat and humidity. Avoid over-bending the strap, over-tightening it on the same hole, or exposing it to water, oils and perfumes. Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth after use, and treat the leather carefully as Hermès leather naturally develops patina over time.

Q: Can scratches on the hardware and wear around the holes be repaired?
A: Light surface wear is common on pre-owned Hermès belts. Minor marks may be improved with careful professional attention, but they are not usually removed completely. Hermès also offers maintenance and repair services for certain leather goods, subject to assessment. For this item, the current condition should be considered part of its vintage character.

Q: How can I tell whether a Hermès H belt is authentic?
A: Hermès H belts are often checked for overall craftsmanship, leather quality, stamping, buckle finish, proportions and construction details. This item has been authenticated by A Retro Tale, and we always recommend using the product information and images for the most accurate view of the piece being offered.

Q: Is an illegible serial number a problem?
A: Not necessarily. On vintage or pre-owned luxury accessories, markings can become faint with age and wear. For this belt, the serial number is listed as illegible, so authenticity should be assessed as a whole through construction, materials, hardware, stamps and expert review rather than relying on one marking alone.
