Troubleshooting
Buckle feels stiff or difficult to operate
Ensure there is no debris lodged in the buckle mechanism. Gently test the movement. If persistent, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant *may* be applied sparingly to the hinge points, but test on an inconspicuous area first and avoid over-application which can attract dirt.
Leather appears dry or is developing small cracks
The leather requires conditioning. Apply a suitable leather conditioner as per the care instructions. Use a product specifically designed for calfskin leather. Repeat conditioning if the dryness is severe, allowing adequate drying time between applications.
Scuff marks or scratches on the leather
For minor scuffs, try gently buffing with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper scratches on the calfskin, a colored leather repair balm or cream matching the belt's color may be used. Test the balm on an hidden area first. For the Gancini buckle, use a metal polish suitable for the specific metal finish, applying carefully to avoid contact with the leather.
Belt is too long or too short after purchase
This belt is designed for a specific waist size. Minor adjustments can sometimes be made by a professional leather craftsman to add or move holes. However, significant alterations may compromise the belt's structure and appearance. It is best to ensure the correct size is ordered initially.

Compatibility:
The belt's classic 3.5 cm width makes it compatible with the vast majority of standard belt loops found on men's trousers, jeans, suits, and smart-casual pants.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and light dirt. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and allow the leather to air dry completely. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Conditioning: Periodically (every 6-12 months, depending on usage), condition the leather with a high-quality leather conditioner to maintain its suppleness and prevent cracking. Apply the conditioner sparingly with a soft cloth.
- Storage: When not in use, store the belt flat or loosely coiled in its original dust bag or a soft pouch to prevent scratches and misshaping. Avoid folding or creasing the leather. If the belt is reversible, ensure both sides are kept clean and conditioned. Rotate which side faces outwards regularly to ensure even wear.
