    Just recently bought a few NOS nato straps from the 50’s/60’s by Stylecraft (Canadian made) and they’re great. The nylon weave is super soft yet sturdy and changes color tone throughout the day. My wrist is super sensitive to nylon stitching and the like so I always look for heat sealed straps (this one is just a strip of nylon)
    I wish more modern natos had adjustable buckles— makes for the perfect fit.
    Share your vintage natos :)

    That is interesting. Can you post a pic of how the buckle is adjustable?
    Would be great!

    Its just a buckle with 2 posts (like backpack fasteners) so the buckle can be moved up and down the nylon strip.

    Yep I got them on eBay. Keywords like NOS nylon strap should do it.
