Carmina Albaladejo, Weston and EG belts

[Guest]

I am not happy with a Torino belt I bought at Boyds. It is in one of the mid-browns. Does anyone know where I can get EG or Carmina calfskin belts in the USA? Sky Valet only has cordovan Carmina belts. Boyds no longer carries any Carmina whatsoever. Peter Elliott has only cordovan belts by Carmina. I was thinking of Weston and called them, but I got no answer.

B. if you know the color that you want, why not e-mail EG in the Burlington arcade and ask? Try "sales@edwardgreen.com"

I discovered the EG belts a couple of years ago and think that they are great. I'm not too into matching, but there is a real pleasure in matching your belt to your shoe exactly. They won't/can't make them in any leather however. Despite my pleas, no country or willow grain is available in a belt.

Although their stock sizes are quite good, I try not to miss an opportunity to finesse the fit. When I order the next belt, I'll order a belt 39 inches in length with NO HOLES and then punch them myself. Alternatively you could specify a length from the buckle to the middle hole, but if you are not familiar with the buckle size there is the real chance of miscommunication. The factory will take some time If you order a belt, but that doesn't bother me.

Been there done that, and I experienced the "miscommunication." I was hoping to avoid this and just get my belt without hassles.
