Most people don’t even know what really good leather is anymore. It is a disgrace.

I know, who puts custom straps on a Swatch?! But, at around 30 dollars (conversion as i live somewhere in Europe), getting the color i wanted, the suple-ness i wanted, you cant beat that price. I know craftmanship cost differs in the US, but if that strap is as good as i think it will be, i am never buying of the shelf straps ever. I have seen 200 bucks straps bought of the shelf that feel like 10 dollar straps and it was dissapointing. Getting to choose the type of leather, the color, the thickness and everything, makes shop straps feel obsolete.
