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.

Two straps of different width, photographed together. The difference reads at a glance and not on a spec sheet.

7 belts

28 mm, and what it is for
