Delivery & Returns
Q: What waist size does Hermès size 85 correspond to? A: Hermès belts are sized in centimetres; size 85 fits a waist or belt measurement of about 85 cm when fastened near the middle hole. Measure from the buckle base to the hole you use most on a belt you already wear, or measure your waist where you plan to wear the belt. 85 cm is roughly 33–34 inches.
Q: Is this belt reversible and what are the colours? A: Yes. The strap reverses between black and brown, giving you two looks in one. To switch sides, remove the H buckle, flip the strap, and refit the buckle—no tools required.
Q: What is the strap width and will it fit my belt loops? A: The strap is approximately 3 cm wide, a versatile width for most trouser loops and smart‑casual denim. For very narrow formal loops a slimmer strap (for example 24 mm) can sit more neatly, while some chunky denim accommodates wider 38–42 mm straps.
Q: Are the buckle and strap interchangeable? A: Hermès uses a modular system: buckles and straps of the same width are interchangeable. An H buckle sized for this strap will pair with other Hermès straps of the same width but will not fit narrower or wider straps.
Q: How should I choose my size if I wear the belt on my hips instead of my waist? A: Measure at the exact position you plan to wear it. If you wear the belt lower on the hips, you may need a larger size than your waist measurement. Order the centimetre size that matches your measurement so the belt closes near the middle hole.
Q: How many adjustment holes are there and can extra holes be added? A: Hermès belts are designed to close around the middle hole and include multiple holes for fine adjustment. We do not recommend punching holes at home; if needed, ask a professional cobbler or an Hermès boutique to add holes so spacing and alignment remain precise.
Q: What comes with this piece? A: This item includes the gold‑tone H buckle and the original box. Everything included is listed under the product information on this page.
Q: How should I care for the leather and hardware? A: Wipe the strap with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid soaking, oils, solvents, and prolonged sun or heat. Store the belt flat or gently rolled, and keep the buckle away from abrasive surfaces; a pouch or the box helps minimise surface marks on the gold‑tone finish.
Q: Is the H belt unisex? A: Yes. The iconic H belt is worn by all genders. Choose the width, colour and size that best suit your style and the belt loops you use.
Q: How do you authenticate this belt? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is thoroughly vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, leather stamps and hardware. We stand behind the authenticity of all pieces and can share additional photos or details on request.
