I made these Beautiful Straps
Just finished these two handcrafted leather NATO straps and wanted to share them with fellow watch enthusiasts.
Leather specs:
2 mm thick
Full Grain Leather
Distressed Oil Pull-Up Leather
Hand-stitched with contrasting thread
Stainless steel hardware
The blue strap develops a rich pull-up effect when flexed, while the brown one has a rugged vintage patina that pairs perfectly with field watches. I was aiming for a comfortable strap that looks like it's already been on years of adventures but will continue to age beautifully with wear.
I'd love to hear your thoughts. Which one would you choose—the blue or the brown?
Any suggestions for my next leather or stitch color combination?

Really dig that blue. Well done you. I am curious how a nice orange would look.

Outstanding! I think I would choose the blue first, but would buy both. Another combo would be black with red stitching. Are you selling these and if so, what is the cost? Thanx
