What You’ll Need

Step-by-Step Guide
A. How to Remove the Old Strap from a clasp Buckle
1. Lay your belt on a soft cloth to avoid scratching the buckle.
2. Locate the lever of the clasp, gently insert a flathead screw driver into the lever, lift the lever to open the clasp
3. Slide the old strap out of the buckle. If it feels stuck, wiggle it gently; don’t force it.
B. Purchasing a new belt strap
1. Before purchasing a new strap, please send photos of your old belt and buckle to Broadway Leather Company, in order that we know exactly the type of buckle structure your Montblanc buckle uses.
2. Please measure the width, as well as the length of the old belt strap. Please pay attention to the one hole you use the most often.
C. How to Attach the New Strap into Clasp Buckle
1. Insert the new strap into the buckle, press the lever in order that the teeth on the clasp will bite into the belt.
D. Quick Safety Tips
● Work on a flat, clean surface to avoid losing small parts.
● Don’t use excessive force—if something doesn’t fit, double-check compatibility.
● Keep small screws away from children and pets.
Aftercare Tips
To keep your new Montblanc belt strap looking great:
● Wipe it down regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust, dirt and mould.
● Use a leather conditioner every few months to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.
● Store your belt flat or rolled loosely in a cool, dry place.
● Keep your belt away from water and direct sunlight to prevent fading or damage.
FAQs or Troubleshooting
Q: The new strap doesn’t fit the buckle. What should I do?
A: Double-check the width and attachment style of the old belt strap. If in doubt, please do not hesitate to reach out to Broadway Leather for help BEFORE purchasing.
Q: The new strap is too long. Can I shorten it?
A: Some straps can be trimmed, but it’s best to order the correct length. If you must trim, cut from the end that attaches to the buckle or punch new holes as required.
Q: The screws won’t go in easily.
A: Don’t force them. Make sure the holes are aligned perfectly. If needed, gently wiggle the strap or use a toothpick to clear the holes.
Q: How do I know if my replacement strap is genuine?
A: Buy from reputable sources and check for quality stitching, real leather, and proper branding. Imitation Gucci replacement belt straps may look similar but won’t last as long. (May I ask what the purpose is for this FAQ? Our straps are not genuine Gucci straps.)
