    I have ordered the wrong size but in fairness it was really difficult to work out which size was the right one, plus Italian sizing is different. It has his initials on the inside of the belt. 
    Can he lose a bit of weight?  :)  
    Or can you find a new, slimmer partner with the same initials?
    Or failing that, get a slimmer one and change their name by deed poll.
  • It's good that they're looking at a solution, but if they can't do anything then that's fair enough. 
    Ease of changing the belt etc is irrelevant, they simply don't have to do it for personalised items.

    How did that help? We've no idea of the OP's income.. and it't none of our business. If I were to come on here looking for advice about my car does it matter how much I paid for it?

    I don't remember asking the OP for their income, maybe you misread my post.
    Maybe you should try rereading my post with a smile on your face and tongue in your cheek and you would understand it better.

    Tell me about it! I imagine I'll be selling this and getting him a fake one  :D The thought was there.. 
  • Ah well.  Thanks for the update.  Many people don't bother.

    £270 for a Gucci belt seems very competitive, even without personalisation.

    It was £285.. I possibly put the wrong amount on here. Still looking for a buyer, not looking good :-( Some big lessons learnt here!
