So the belt arrived today, and I'm honestly impressed, very good quality leather soft and supple(I did ask Lucy to get me the best she could) buckle is nice quality with brushed and polished on the face and a sandblasted effect on the rear( no idea how accurate it is)
Pity it just doesn't fit me, too big and I think punching more than the current 3 holes will ruin it.

Few pics

perforated leather looks really nice. Are you saying the rep sizes and gen sizes are different?
Out of curiosity what size did you get.

I asked for a 32/34, leather has 115 stamped on it. Not going to ruin it by punching holes in it.

woah if i am not mistaken 115 is the size in cm for 45in waste.

I think you probably needed 85 or 90.

Must be a misprint just checked with my diesel belt (its 85) and I think the Hermes is 90/95, one hole would fix it for me

My waist is around 33,34 inch and i measure 2 of my current belt, one is 105cm and the other is 110cm. Or did i measure it wrongly?

Probably a miss-print. Gens have miss-prints too. Wife just got me a gen Gucci belt in size 90, tried it on and it was really big, more like a 95 or even a 100

Who knows ... tough to buy belts unless you have tried it on elsewhere.

You should try on taobao. I have a few trusted sellers there for regular purchase. The quality is amazing I had a few Prada bags they are 1:1 or at least real close

You need to use a taobao agent. Google that and you will find them. They buy it, have it shipped to them and then ship to you.

But be aware that after first payment some ask for second shipping fee payment.

Any chance you can share the sellers?

I've been looking for Bottega Veneta mens stuff a very long time, Taobao seems to carry some very nice items but I dunno, using an agent, sounds risky.

It's not.

Check this one out for example. Used it a few times, no problems ever. But as stated before, TB agents can ask for a first payment for the product and commission. Then they receive the product, take the weight and calculate shipping costs. Then they charge you for that. Just ask them.

Been some time since I ordered from Taobao.
