Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What waist size does a Valentino size 75 belt typically fit?
A: In designer sizing, 75 cm refers to the measurement to the middle hole. With standard hole spacing, a size 75 usually fits about 70–80 cm at the point you wear it (roughly 28–32 inches). For best results, measure around where you plan to wear the belt (high waist, natural waist, or hips) and aim to close on the middle hole. [Tip: widths and hole spacing can vary slightly by model.]
Q: How do I switch this VLogo belt between the brown and black sides?
A: This VLogo Signature model is designed to be reversible. Open the buckle’s flip/hinge mechanism, rotate the strap to the other side, then close the buckle again to lock it. Do this gently to avoid creasing the leather near the buckle and ensure the pin aligns cleanly with the holes.
Q: Can I shorten the belt or add extra holes?
A: Yes, but we recommend using a professional leather specialist. Reversible belts have specific construction at the buckle end, so DIY cutting or hole‑punching can damage the strap or compromise symmetry. A cobbler can shorten from the buckle end (when feasible) or add holes neatly while keeping spacing consistent. Alterations may affect future resale value.
Q: What is the width, and will it fit standard belt loops?
A: The strap is approximately 30 mm (3 cm) wide, which suits most standard trouser and jeans loops. For very narrow loops on tailored pieces, check the opening before use.
Q: What materials and finish does it have?
A: It is crafted in calfskin leather with a gold‑tone VLogo metal buckle and is made in Italy. The reversible strap on this piece is brown on one side and black on the other, offering two classic looks in one belt.
Q: How should I care for the leather and hardware?
A: Wipe the leather with a soft, dry cloth after wear and keep it away from water, oils, and perfumes. Store it flat or loosely rolled in a breathable pouch, away from direct heat or sunlight. Use a neutral leather conditioner sparingly when needed, and buff the gold‑tone hardware lightly with a soft cloth only. For deeper cleaning, a specialist leather service is recommended.
Q: Will the gold‑tone buckle scratch or tarnish over time?
A: Minor hairline scratches are normal with wear on plated hardware. Avoid abrasive surfaces, and store the belt so the buckle doesn’t rub against other metal items. Lightly buff with a soft cloth; avoid metal polishes that could strip the finish.
Q: Is this belt unisex?
A: While some retailers categorise widths by gender, the 30 mm VLogo design is a timeless style that can be worn by anyone. Choose primarily by your measurement and preferred placement (high waist vs. through belt loops).
Q: What is included with this item?
A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. If an item such as a dust bag or extra keeper isn’t listed there, it is not included with this piece.
Q: How does A Retro Tale verify authenticity?
A: Every piece is vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, heat‑stamps, and hardware. We stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell and are happy to share additional product information on request.
