This navy is very dark. Across a room it reads as black; in daylight, or held against something actually black, the blue arrives and the belt stops looking like a default. That narrow margin is the whole appeal. It answers the old awkwardness of navy trousers and a black belt without going as far as brown, which then has to be argued with your shoes.
Suede makes it a shade less formal than smooth navy would be, and that suits how most people wear navy now: soft jackets, blue denim, grey flannel, knitwear. With a navy suit and dark brown shoes it looks considered rather than accidental.
Dress width at 35mm, with navy edge stitching, one suede keeper and a brushed metal pin buckle in a squared frame. A cross-thread screw beneath the keeper takes the buckle off, so the belt can be shortened if it runs long. The four sizes, S to XL, are meant for waists of 28-30, 32-34, 36-38 and 40-42 inches.
During the Second World War the Northamptonshire works supplied the British forces with eight million pairs, close to one pair in every nine, and the workforce and directors raised £5,000 for a Spitfire that carried the name of his Impregnable range. Design is still run out of Northamptonshire, with partner makers handling production.
Care: Keep a suede brush and a protector spray for it, and use both. Navy suede is one of the worst colours for water spotting, so let rain dry naturally and brush the panel back afterwards rather than rubbing at it while wet. Do not use a coloured suede renovator unless the match is exact, because navy is the hardest shade to correct.
