The number nobody checks
Belt widths, and which trousers each one fits
Width is stamped on the buckle in millimetres and it decides whether a belt threads at all. The range carries 5 of them; here is what each is for and what exists in it.
7 belts
28 mm, and what it is for
The narrowest strap in the range. Youth waists and the fine dress belts that go under a jacket without adding bulk.
