Buy leather belts
Any belt for a suit consists of two parts: a buckle and a belt made of leather or other material. Leather full grain belts, of course, have better quality and are much more stylish and elegant.
How to choose a real leather belt:
-
Exposure to water. Just drop a drop of water and see what happens. In a leather product, water will most likely be absorbed (unless the belt has been treated with a special moisture-resistant substance) and will leave behind a darker mark than the color of the belt. A droplet of water will not be absorbed into artificial leather at all.
-
Examine the open cut of the belt. Quite often, when making leather belts the edge of the belt is processed and covered with a special paint, so you can most likely examine the open cut in the area of the belt buckle. There should not be any protruding threads or fibers or a layer of fabric – this is a sign of an artificial leather product.
-
Try rubbing the product. The warmth of your hands will make the leather belt warmer, the artificial leather belt will not react in any way to your influence.Pay attention to your formal classic style: the leather of the belt should match the color and shine of the shoes. And the buckle — with the rest of the metal accessories, except for the wedding ring.

It also happens that the gum sticks to the surface of the skin. Just make the gum firm so that it can be removed easily. You can use ice in a plastic bag for this.

Not only the leather belt soft surface, but also the metal buckles require maintenance. They can turn green, which makes them unsightly. Then it’s a good idea to use regular toothpaste. This will allow you to easily restore the old shine of your buckles.

If you want to find a stylish accessory, first pay attention to the material it is made of. The better the material, the longer the belt will last. And the nicer it will look. There is an old method to check the material. For this, it is necessary to run a fingernail or another object along the inside. If the leather is really soft and of high quality, a mark will be left behind. And under no circumstances should you take a belt if it does not pass such a simple test. When looking for a belt for a suit, it is best to choose a simple model without metal studs. With the metal studs, you can then buy a narrow casual belt for everyday use, for example. Buckles are characterized by style. For informal everyday wear, a wide leather belt for men with a large buckle is suitable. For a classic style, you can choose a belt with a small buckle, with a clear shape and a minimum of decoration.

The first and most important difference between a factory-made and a handmade belt is the quality. The handmade product has perfectly smooth and high-quality finished edges, a unique design, and is often adorned with beautiful inscriptions or drawings. It features high-quality and even stitches, with no loose threads anywhere. Furthermore, such a belt has an elegantly polished buckle, which is also its main decoration. Handmade men's belts are often adorned with company logos or inscriptions (when the product is made to order). The buckle of a quality belt has an absolutely shiny surface without scratches or defects, which looks very nice and high-quality.
