N° 04 — Autunno

Made once, on a bench in Italy. Finished by the man who wears it.

A belt leaves us even and unmarked. A year later it is not. The grain has taken the shape of how you fasten it, and lightened where your hand goes.

CALTIORA belt hanger with silver-tone hooks and black plaque

Firenze. Eighteen months of daily wear, unretouched.

Before you choose

Take your trouser size and add four inches.

A 36 trouser takes a 40 belt, which is our 110cm. We measure from the base of the prong to the middle hole, so the middle hole is where you should land.

If it lands anywhere else, send it back. Exchanges are free both ways and the label is already in the box.

Between sizes, take the larger.

Four places a belt gives up.

What men said when we asked what sold them.

Published as written

The stitching at the buckle. I turned it over in the box before I put it on, which is what I always do, and it was sewn rather than folded and glued. That was the whole decision.

Robert H. · Sarasota, FL · 110cm

Ordered a 42, should have taken the 44. Told them on a Tuesday, the right one came Friday, cost me nothing. That is not how this usually goes.

Dan M. · Columbus, OH · 120cm

My wife noticed it before I said anything. She asked whether it was new, then asked whether it was old. I took that as the point.

Jim P. · Charlotte, NC · 115cm

I have a belt in the closet from a house I will not name that I stopped reaching for. This one is quieter and the leather is better, and I did not have to explain that to anybody.

Anthony R. · Naples, FL · 110cm
