Frequently asked questions

Yes. Every HIDEA belt is cut from full-grain leather, the top and strongest layer of the hide. We never use bonded leather, PU or split leather embossed to look like grain.

30 to 35 mm. A 30 mm belt is the most formal and suits slim suit trousers; 35 mm is the everyday office width that also works with chinos.

Yes, for formal wear. Black shoes take a black belt; brown, tan and oxblood shoes take a brown belt of a similar depth. Metals like buckle and watch should ideally match too.

38 mm fills most jeans loops properly. 35 mm works if you also want to wear the belt with chinos.

Pull the buckle off its post, rotate it 180 degrees and press it back. It takes about five seconds.

Yes. Reversible belts are cut to fit at the buckle end. Tell us your trouser waist on WhatsApp and we will trim it before dispatch.

Full-grain leather braids relax very slightly in the first weeks and then hold their shape, unlike elastic braided belts, which sag over time.
