I did really good experience with following shops:

http://glcstraps.it/shop/

https://www.watchgecko.com/watch-strap-shop/

https://shop.bulangandsons.com/watch-straps.html

http://www.bandrbands.com

almost unlimited choice of selection you have with ABP, however they are also more expensive:

I’ve bought straps from Omega (spendy) and WatchGecko (cheap+good quality).

 

If you want something truly original, there is a Fire fighter who has a hobby and a passion for making watch straps from old fire hoses. As you can imagine they will probably be the hardest wearing straps in the world. He sells on ebay.

I was having good results on HODINKEE but the last one had issues with consistency. (Width)

I’ve had good luck with Strapped For Time, Camille Fournet, Hirsch, Second Time Ticking. I like the B&S straps as well. Check out Combat Straps of Montreal.

 

I have 3 sources that I've had really good succes with.
Bulang & Sons
Crown & Buckle
Clockwork Synergy

 

For summer canvas straps I can also recommend

Lots of talented strap-makers in this group

Hirsch, Crown & Buckle, and Omega for me.

 

I find watchgecko to be both affordable and amazing quality

 

Strap and bezel

Genteel Straps (Custom) -- this dark blue with blue stitch one's on the way ....



Going on this Seamaster ....

 

lots of good suggestions already. just got the newest strap from Erika, her gray fabric with luminous stripe and old skool printing, it's pretty sweet:

 

I got several of the Zulu straps for maratac shown in the pic below. They were pretty cheap and really high quality and each color adds a different character to the watch.

 

Hi. Great strap! Source?

 

Bulang & Sons has been my go-to for vintage pieces.
