Golden Oak Hand Burnished Saffiano Belt SA

Our Interchangeable System

When we mention our interchangeable system customers often fear that they might need an advanced science degree to figure it all out.

On the contrary, the beauty of our system is that it is really really simple! The whole point is that we want to encourage you to mix and match your buckles, allowing you to chop and change the look of your belt in the blink of an eye.

Once you’ve tried it a couple of times you’ll find it takes about 3 seconds to change buckles!

Important to remember - the buckle and the strap need to be the same width in order to fit properly. For example, a 40mm width belt would fit a 40mm buckle. You can find the width in the Product Specification section of the product page.

If you would like any help mixing and matching your belts and buckles please call us +44 207 730 4000 (Monday to Saturday 10am-7pm GMT) or email elliot@elliotrhodes.com.

Step 1

Unsnap the poppers on the tongue of the belt

Step 2

Pop your chosen buckle onto the tongue

Step 3

Fold tongue back and snap the poppers shut

Step 4

You’re good to go!

This is the easiest way to ensure that you get your belt size spot on. It is much safer than looking at the waist size indicated on trousers as those are generally not accurate and tend to underestimate waist sizes.

Here's a video explaining how to do this:

To choose your size based on an existing belt simply take a tape measure and follow the steps below:

1) Take the belt that fits you best and measure in centimetres the whole leather length – as shown:

2) From this measurement simply subtract 15cm. This is your actual waist size and therefore the size you need to order! For example if your existing belt measurement is 100cm end to end you need to order Size 85. 

If your current belt (the one you measured) is currently either too short or too long for you then add or subtract some length accordingly.

If your precise requirement falls between sizes (in other words you need a size that is not on our dropdown menu) not a problem, we can make your belt precisely to any measurement. Simply scroll to the bottom of the dropdown size menu and select 'I would like a custom size' and type your specific request in the box that appears. As an example, if your current belt measures 102cm end to end, after subtracting 15cm you will be left with 87cm, so just put that you would like a belt size 87cm!

There is a ‘customer note’ field on each product page where you can add any comments you may have before adding your belt to the basket. Please feel free to use that section for your specific requests.

Please remember that your belts can be resized at any time (made smaller) but unfortunately we cannot make them grow any bigger! So if you’re not sure, always go for a size bigger and leave a note for us to make extra holes. If it is too big then just send it back for us to adjust.

Elliot Rhodes belts come with three holes positioned at a distance of 15cm, 17.5cm and 20cm away from the tip. For Internet orders by default we also punch an extra hole for greater size flexibility.

More tips for choosing the perfect belt size

How will I wear this belt?

Waist? Hips? Both? On jeans or on thinner fabric? Jeans are heavier than other fabrics so allow for this...see our size chart for further guidance.

Do I like long tips or short tips?

This is the length of the belt tip once the belt is buckled up. As standard we size to the first of the 3 holes (the one nearest the tip) which gives a good length tip. With bigger/chunkier buckles we prefer in general to size the belt a little longer to the middle of the 3 holes as this gives a better look to the belt. We don’t like the tip to look too short relative to the buckle.

Belt Holes

All Elliot Rhodes belts come with three holes positioned at a distance of 15cm, 17.5cm and 20cm away from the tip (The holes are 2.5cm / 1” apart). For Internet orders by default we also punch an extra hole for greater size flexibility at 22.5cm from the tip. 

Why your jeans/trouser size will probably not be your belt size!

Delivery

**Update 01/01/21 - From today all shipments made to destinations outside of the UK will be shipped exclusive of UK VAT. This means that the current VAT /Tax) portion of 20% that is normally added to all UK goods will be removed. Prices that appear on our website include VAT but at checkout and on entering a non UK shipping destination these prices will change and the VAT will be removed, reducing your basket price.

Please note that as a result you will be liable for your local Tax/VAT when the shipment arrives in your country. This is a new situation for our EU customers but has always been the case for all other worldwide destinations.

In addition and unavoidably there may also be a customs clearance fee levied by your local Customs Authority and DHL - this varies according to shipment value/destination and local import limits but as an estimate for EU countries this will normally amount to approximately 30 Euro per shipment. This charge is sadly out of our control.

Orders made by midday BST will be dIspatched the same working day. Orders placed after this time will be dispatched on the next working day.

Orders are dispatched Monday to Friday (with the exception of Public Holidays) and delivered on working days.

We are now shipping exclusively with DHL EXPRESS. This service ensures speedy and efficient delivery both in the UK and Worldwide with tracking and shipping updates by both e-mail and text.
