Shoe Cleaning Tips


Always remove dirt or loose mud if any with a soft dry cloth. And use wax polish with horsehair brushes or a soft polishing cloth. Remove the shoelaces from your shoes because Laces can prevent the polish. Apply Shoe Polish properly with a brush or cloth to leather uppers. Leave shoes for an hour or more to absorb into the skin’s pores.

Storing your shoes correctly also plays a prominent role in how long they last. If they get wet, stuff with newspaper overnight and allow them dry naturally.This is especially important when shoes are worn without socks, as the sweat absorbed by the leather can lead to lining rot.

Leather shoes should be kept in shoe bags, which help shade the shoes from potentially damaging dust and sunlight. Suede shoes should be stored in open air, but away from sunlight.

Belt Fit & Size Guide

First things first. Finding the proper size for your belt is essential. Belts usually have 5 holes. The variety of holes gives your body some room for changes and allows you to wear pants made of various thicknesses and to tuck your shirt in or not. Ideally, though, you want the belt to fit so that the buckle pin goes exactly through the middle hole. That will leave you with about 15cm/6in of leather to the left of the buckle once it’s fastened. When in doubt, err on the short side but make sure to have enough to tuck the belt under the first belt loop. Wrapping a long tail of residual leather around your hip or having the tip of the belt hang down loosely is a no-no (the later can sometimes work for casual outfits but you really need to know what you are doing for it not to look like a fashion sin).

The only proper and logical way to measure belt sizes is from the inner edge of the buckle, where belt buckle and buckle pin meet, to the middle hole. The total belt length will then be the belt size plus about 15cm/6in.

The quickest and easiest way to get your belt size is by adding three inches to your pants waist size (some sources recommend adding 2in but we’ve made better experiences with 3in). That should give you a pretty good estimate. You’ll also find our sizing chart in the Details & Sizing dropdown menu of every belt. Braided belts allow you to tie the belt wherever it fits the you best guaranteeing ultimate wearing comfort. That’s another reason why they are a great choice for casual outfits when you want to be comfortable but still look good.

6. Don’t think of storing it in vinyl
Vinyl is generally resistant to moisture. In order to take a little bit extra care for your wallet, it is not a wise decision to keep it or store it inside a vinyl material. It would deteriorate the overall quality and appearance of the wallet.
