Good to know
Before you buy.
Finding the right size
Measure a belt you already wear — from the buckle pin to the hole you use. That measurement is your size. If you are between two sizes, take the larger one.
Men’s 80–120 cm, women’s 70–95 cm. To the size guide

Care
Leather balm every three to six months, worked in thinly with a cloth. Store dry, never on a heater.
The embroidery needs nothing. Waxed Serafil thread holds — that is why saddlers use it. Care instructions
How it is made
The leather comes from Argentine tanneries, vegetable-tanned, four millimetres. The thread is waxed Serafil from the saddler’s craft. The buckles are solid brass, cast and polished by hand.
Every belt is embroidered by hand in a family workshop in Buenos Aires — up to six hours per belt, depending on its size — and checked in Munich before it ships. More about the workshop
