This is another branded leather belt brought into our factory to have its peeled belt replaced. Our customer chose a pebbled full-grain leather belt to replace the old strap. This is because whatever scratches it sustains will not be visible against the pebbled grains.

Customers coming in with Louis Vuitton LV close end belts often think that shortening the belt from the buckle end is the correct way to shorten such belts.
However, that is the surest way to spoil the belt.

Copy and paste
We require the following details. For your convenience, copy and paste the following in your email or whatsapp:
There are no hard and fast rules, so please do not worry about mistakes. We will clarify with you all details before confirmation of order via payment is made.
Step 1: belt structure
Is your leather belt strap open ended or close ended:
Open-end: One end of the belt plays no aesthetic function and can be shortened. Eg, most regular belts. Sometimes, they may be stitched directly onto the buckles because that end plays no (aesthetic) function except to hold the belt onto the buckle. It can still be unstitched and shortened and are considered open ended nevertheless.
Close-end: Both ends of the belt are sealed and play an aesthetic function. The length is precise. Shortening these belts require special attention, to reseal the cut end properly and to dye the exposed edges. Eg, Dunhill belts, Hermes belts, LV belts, Yves Saint Laurent belts etc.
Step 2: belt strap width
What is the width of your current leather belt strap? Please round up to the nearest millimetre (28mm, 30mm, 32mm, 35mm).
Step 3: model and texture
Please indicate which of the popular black models and textures right at the top of this page you prefer.
Step 4: length
The length to purchase is best based on the length of the belt you currently use. Please ensure that the old belt you are measuring is not one that you have not used in years and that may be too short for you now.
Open-end: Measure the length of your current leather belt strap from the end of belt (excluding the buckle) to the hole that you use most often, as shown in the diagrams. It does not matter if that hole is the hole in the center or not. The rationale is to measure the actual length that you wear.
Close-end: Measure the length L of your current leather belt from the pin to the most used hole. It does not matter if that hole is the hole in the center or not. If there are additional dimensions such as L1 and L2, please measure them as well.
Our waist size and pants size is not an accurate length because most people wear their belts close to the hips, rather than directly on the waist. The length physically measured using a measuring tape is called the True Wearable Length. Please indicate the length in inches.
Step 5: other information
Feel free to provide us more information if your belt does not fall within the “normal” belt structure range.
Step 6: Confirming your order
Step 7: After sales support
If mail gets lost, AQUILA will send you another belt accordingly. Just inform us that that you have not received your order.
Length of belt too long: arrange an appointment with Keching to have it shortened at our factory.
Length of belt too short: we welcome a one for one exchange, provided it is in re-saleable condition, ie absolutely no marks or signs of the belt having been worn. Applies to international customers as well.
If belt is in pristine condition, arrange an appointment with Keching to have it exchanged at our factory. For international customers, please arrange to ship belt back to us via any service that provides a tracking number. We will ship the second belt out to you as soon as we receive the first belt. Further shipping costs apply.
On reasonable grounds, AQUILA reserves the rights to refuse any exchange/replacement etc.

This saffiano leather belt was built by our customer (please see “Build your own belt” at the top or at the side of this page), and it certainly raised our eyebrows. We have an entire catalogue of regular nickel/silver colour buckles to choose from but our customer actually chose a brass colour buckle to go with his saffiano belt instead. It’s a pity we never met him because this order was done completely via direct messaging, otherwise it would be great to meet him and find out his dress style.
We are glad that our saffiano leather collection is available in plus size.

This red leather belt sports a slightly more elaborate gold buckle. The buckle looks different with movement, from different angles, due to the layering on the relatively broad buckle, different from the “slim and simple” buckles generally preferred these days. Another fine detail we love about the buckle is the area on the inside where it comes in contact with the leather belt once fastened. The corners of the square are slightly rounded which complements the round external perimeter of the buckle.
