Resize for a perfect fit

Have you recently lost weight? Been gifted a belt or bought a belt on a resale platform such as Vinted and it’s too long, and you can’t return it?

Is there a premium or luxury brand you would like but they only have the larger sizes available?

There are numerous reasons why belts can be too big, if that is you I can shorten it so it fits how you need.

The Details Matter

How your belt will be altered

In most cases I shorten belts from the buckle end. This ensures the original finish and design of your belt which is visible when you wear it, stays the same.

There are occasions when I need to shorten it from the opposite end.

I would always let you know beforehand what I propose and make sure you’re happy.

The finishing touches

I’ll match thread colour, stitch length and edge paint colour as closely as possible to it looks and feels just like the original.

All belts treated with care, no matter the brand

I’ve altered many belts from brands such as Gucci, Salvatore Ferragamo, Celine, Loro Piana, Alfred Dunhill, Church’s to high street brands and belts passed through generations.

Cost

Price in most cases will be £35 plus postage back to you. Any trickier work I’ll quote on a case by case basis.
