    I am sorry if this was already discussed in the past but for the life of me I couldn't find anything before posting this.
    Looking for some vendors that have good leather bands with lots of variety.

    I've actually bought quite a few off cheapestnatostraps.com over the years. Despite the name they stock a huge variety of leather straps, and I've found them to be of high quality, especially considering the price.

    Thank you all for the info. Cheapestnatostraps.com is indeed cheap :D but there is no mention where they are made. At those prices Is safe to assume in China :unsure:

    I'll give a plug for Doug Jones in Tokyo. He does beautiful work, all with his own hands and his prices are reasonable. Moreover, he's a very nice guy with whom to work! You can find him on Etsy or here

    Yes, I'm assuming made in China. They ship out of Sweden I believe, and I've never had any problem with them, but I'm sure they can't compare to the bespoke items other members have recommended. I just love switching up straps, and therefore buy too many, so the :Deconomics dictate cheapestnato for me...

    I have to agree. Very reasonable prices considering its made in the USA. Just short on options :(

    lately, i've been loving and almost exclusively wearing zuludiver nato leather straps by watchgecko. have a couple of horween and non-horween leathers.
    http://www.watchgecko.com
    not the cheapest, and not bespoke, but for the price IMHO a fantastic value.
    also, A&U straps, a microbrand from spain. they're on the bay (seller: vlanazar)

    I'm always a fan of Bulang & Son. Hodinkee sells nearly identical straps for double the price.

    I own and have bought from HODINKEE, Camille Fournet, Hirsch, Bulang, Strapped For Time (Custom), David Boettcher (trench style for wire lugs)! If you want something really cool try Combat straps of Montreal. I want to use them next. Quality matters.
