Can anyone identify the maker of this strap?

    Looks to have an emblem of a horseshoe. I like the appearance of these hot-pressed lines, but have not been able to track down the maker. Thanks

    Obviously a Colts fan, which should be enough of a warning sign :D:D





    Petty cool strap though by the looks of it

    Hermès use a horseshoe logo on their handbags…

    Not sure about their Watch straps.

    Maybe just a reference to horsehide leather?

    I'm skeptical of a Hermès connection, as I doubt that they would use a logo without a signature.

    I don't know -- it looks like there are some differences in those logos:

    No idea, but a lot of makers make straps like that, it's nothing unique.

    Hi Ryan.

    These were made by Gustav from Sweden.

    I bought these from him two years ago.

    His name on instagram is @the_horology_frog

    I have a couple of his straps. Very nice and very well priced.

    Here is my wife wearing one.

    Best,

    Thanks, Rudi! I'm glad you were able to identify them. Although they're similar to many others, they do look a bit unique to me. :)
