Ties matched to lapel width, belts sized to the measured waist, leather grades stated plainly.

Belts, ties and leather

What it is

Belts, ties and small leather goods are where an outfit is finished or undone. The rules are simple and mostly about proportion and material honesty: tie width to lapel width, leather tone to shoes, hardware finish consistent.

What is included

  • Proportion matched to the garments worn
  • Leather and silk grade stated honestly
  • Tone and hardware coordination
  • Belt sized to measured waist
  • Care advice for leather and silk

How it works

Proportion

We match tie and lapel width, and belt width to trouser loops, because mismatched proportion is what reads as wrong.

Material

We identify leather grade and silk quality plainly, and say when something is coated or bonded.

Coordination

We match leather tone across belt and shoes and keep buckle finish consistent with other metal worn.

Sizing

We size belts to the measured waist through the loops, not to the trouser label.

Frequent questions

How wide should a tie be?

Roughly the same width as the jacket lapel. That single rule solves most tie proportion questions.

Must belt and shoes match exactly?

They should be close in tone and finish rather than an exact match. Black with black, brown with brown; mixing the two is what looks careless.

How do I store ties?

Rolled or hung loose, never knotted overnight. Silk recovers from creasing if the knot is undone and the tie is rolled.
