I have a thing for worn, old guitars as well, hence the name.
I was lucky enough to be able to study some leather wares from the ww2 era up close to determine stitching and threads and turned up to use thick linnen thread I coated in beeswax for this. The leather is originated a bit later, around ‘55 from the swiss army. It’s remarkably soft for the age.
The strap works really well with your submersible!
[mention]insideo[/mention] It wasn’t my first or second really, I made some more in the quiet of my shop and ruined a lot of leather in the process...
I am working on a very delicate strap for an omega watch right now and it‘s driving me nuts, because I already am at V5 now and screw up something each time I think I got it right.
[mention]straps68[/mention] It really am grateful to work with your straps, so much care in the construction! This one, as per request, is mildly aged - I am doing a pictorial right now on the process...
