I was looking for a specific Collier de Chien bracelet and it was difficult to find. So,
I called the H website; they took my name and called me when it came into
stock. You could try that also.

I'm a size 100 and not a 95 unfortunately... I tried one on at the Hermes store on Madison Avenue. Sadly, the only one they had at Madison avenue was crocodile leather, so I passed on it.

This belt isn't for me either but I wouldn't make a remark like this. 75k plus other members decided not to also. I suggest you do the same in the future

Hermes offers a refinish exchange for their belt buckles. You bring in your old, beat up buckle and exchange it for a refinished buckle that looks brand new. Unfortunately, the larger H hasn't been available until yesterday!



It costs $100 which is the same price they would charge if sending it to Paris for refinishing except you don't have to wait 6 months to get it back

The easiest solution is to fly to Paris and go straight from CDG to Rue du Faubourg St. Honoré and get the belt you are looking for. Plenty of stock, additional sizes and all colors.

Went to Vegas Hermes store (aria) and they only had a very large belt length. The Bellagio Hermes store had zero. Nothing otherwise.

Wish they could be had easier (minus the flight to Paris Hal ).

Does anyone else think its strange that their saddles, which uses more leather and requires a lot more craftsmanship to build, costs thousands less than their Birkin bag?

I was there in October and they didn't have the small or large ones in stock but the duty free store at CDG did

That store gets taken over, like LV, by Asian tourists who arrive daily in large groups and buy the entire store up.

Weird!!! I was there in October last year and they had tons of stuff. I actually bought a new belt kit with the silver buckle because my old one was too worn out and also the gold buckle was now too shabby (serving me since 1996) as you can see in the picture.

You might not like it because your name doesn't start with an H like in my case. That's why they call me Mr. H

Move on to something else. Seriously, Hermes will soon be like Herpes - not something you want!
Replace "Hermes" with "Rolex", perhaps?

It may depend on the day of the week. On my visit the previous year, I went there to order something and it was jam packed so I went in the next day and it there was hardly a customer.

BTW-You can do a refinished exchange on that gold one. I'm pretty sure NYC has it in stock

Haha. That wound probably convince me to buy one. I think they look nice. I just prefer to go somewhat stealthy when it comes to wearing designer labels.

Hermes is pretty stealth. Believe it or not I've had a ton of people ask me if the H buckle is because of my name. Crazy!!!

I was in the Hermes on Madison a couple weeks ago, and though they weren't on the website or on the racks, they were showing a man several belt options with various belts, if not then I would wait a month so you can have a good amount of options. I went with Taupe and Black, and I'd suggest beginning with something a bit more multi-seasonal. In short, check out the store on Madison and ask, only if convenient though, they might not have it. Cheers!

They should be able to order one and call you when it arrives ?

Seems pretty easy to me . . .
