About a year ago, I bought a reindeer hide strap (I'm a sucker for straps made from less common hides) and it is of great quality. Ostrich leg hide is also very interesting as a leather for women's handbags or wallets. Lately, I also came across of a sample wallet made with common chicken leg hide. Looks similar to ostrich, but the pattern is smaller.

Nice review Armand. Those were nice, classy looking choices for your personal pieces. I noted that both straps had what appeared to be a single, fixed keeper? Good time to mention whether he offers different keeper options. I noted that he uses a reinforcing stitch at the back of the keeper which is great, as I've had adhesive fail at that point with some manufacturers (don't know why anyone wouldn't use a stitch?). I'll keep Fin Watch Straps in mind, as a custom, exotic at that price is quite a deal. 👍

Could you quote the exact name of the strap at 2:42. Is there any confirmation of which dying he uses. Anything other than vegetable gives me rashes.

You need to do more research con leather. Dying leather has nothing to do with vegetables lol. Veg tan leather is how it is tanned in the tannery for 60-90 days. The strap you are looking at is chrome tanned in hazardous chemicals for 2-5 days much cheaper and not good for the environment. When they say veg tan leather they mean the way it was tanned not dyed.

Hirsch Straps has watchbands with the foldover ends you can pin or glue to a fixed lug watch. I've got quick release Hirsch watch bands and love them.

Just received a watch roll from FinWatchStraps, must say I'm a bit disappointed. Quality is ok, nothing special, shipment was slow and tedious despite paying for express and the finishing doesn't quite live up to the "handmade" quality I was expecting... Maybe their straps are better, but dont recommend their travel rolls...

Are these veg tanned or chrome tanned? From looking at the edges of the vintage distressed appears to be chrome tanned. Not good for metal. Disappointing considering you usually do a lot of research before promoting something

The leather used for the straps and rolls is vegetable tanned. We do not use chrome tanned leathers. In case you will have more questions regarding our hand-made to order products, please, do not hesitate to contact us directly finwatchstraps at gmail.com Have a nice week! Regards, Viktoria.

Honest video. The straps look nice, but the buckles can be more sophisticated. A gold watch needs a gold buckle. The Baume & Mercier on the ostrich strap must have a gold plated or pvd coated buckle. The polished steel buckle is for a polished steel watch.

I got a Cognac lined watch strap from FinWatchStraps based on your first video. Beautiful band, wonderfully crafted which is soft and supple from the get go. I use it for my Navitimer. So I can attest to the quality from these guys.

Thanks for sharing; this is great as I need a new go to watch strap company for my daily wearing. In addition, I would also like should you have the chance to work with Bruno Fagliano, I highly recommend the experience. However, the Case Fagliano are at a different price point that I would recommend for the very special pieces in your collection.

Total product plug for Fin Watch Straps then. The products themselves seem nice enough, even though some of the stitching on the rein deer leather roll seemed a bit rough in places.
