·I have in the past managed to find some decent quality NOS vintage military/tool watch style straps, always been fixed bars style, but haven’t had much luck lately.
Lately, been picking up some old wallets and clutch bags for the ostrich and croc with the intention of getting some made.
First couple I’m planning to get made based off a vintage Longines strap I have with a single, wide keeper. I did start wearing it, but started to split, so needs reproducing.
Really like the look of this guy’s work, so that’ll be first.

Also like the like of these “HIMEJI KUROZAN” Japanese Cowhide straps

This, also. They offer plenty of options to customise.

Not cheap, but worth it when the watch merits it.
Any experience of any of these, or others?
