Looking for a black 19mm non glossy strap that doesn't taper towards the end, with a quick release to easily swap out the straps whenever I want to.

And if anyone can list any leather strap brands that I should avoid, please do!

19 to 19... I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything but a 19-16.

19-18 makes sense custom as your not going to fing 19 buckles.

Unless you go 3 ring NATO/Zulu style without the 2nd flap.


This is a custom 22mm 3ring Zulu strap I had made. It slides in so no need to pull springbars and doesn’t sit as high as traditional 5 ring 2 strap NATO/Zulu.

Non-tapering 19mm strap with quick release bars may end up being custom made. I think you can get custom made for <$100 or you can get a handful of cheaper straps and switch back and forth depending on your mood

If you can tolerate a 2mm tapering then this looks like it could work for you.

that's just about what I'm looking for! Do you know about the quality of those?

I have bought a few straps from them before. They use some Scandinavian Deer leather that is strong but you’re not going to confuse it with horween leathers. I figure it’s $10. Buy 3-4 in different colors and see if it works for you. Worst case scenario you’re out $30.

You should check with the seller that the buckle is 18mm, which is only a minimal taper. A 16mm buckle will appear significantly tapered on a 19mm strap.

BTW, in my opinion, those quick release springbars are total crap. I suggest you learn how to use a springbar tool and not limit yourself.
