I keep reading that 1" wide is the classic size for men's dress belts but I am having a very hard time finding what I am looking for. I am a shorter man (5'6") so I want some dress belts that, proportionally, fit me the way that a typical 1 1/8" - 1 1/4" dress belt fits a man of average height. Currently, I wear 1 1/8" wide dress belts and they look acceptable but I really want to nail this detail. I'm hoping you all can help me.
What I am looking for:
What I have found, so far:
Equus Leather
-------------------------------------
These are the closest I have found, so far, but the ridges in the strap and the slightly rounded buckles make them slightly more casual looking than what I'm looking for. Still, pretty nice. I still might get one of these if I can't find what I am looking for.
Narragansett Leathers
-------------------------------------
Again, more casual looking belts with casual looking rounder frame buckles. I'd get some of these for chinos and jeans.
Trafalgar
-------------------------------------
Great looking straps but they only offer box frame buckles and they don't offer size 30. I'd rather not have to resize the strap and find a buckle elsewhere.
Thank you in advance!
What I am looking for:
- 1" (25mm) wide
- Size 30
- Smooth with no details (feathered edge or light unnoticeable stitching ok)
- Very slim/sleek rectangular frame buckle - no box frame or round buckles
- Basic colors - Black, Dark Brown, Burgundy, etc
- Decent quality
- Slim and supple leather - not heavy duty work belt style thickness
