FS: USA Made Recreation of 1940s Shell Cordovan Military Strap *PIC*

I had an original 1940s USA made slip through watch strap that I loved to wear, but it was on its last leg. The style was classic and comfortable, so I recreated the strap and pad to hold my vintage watches and a few of yours.
Made by me in my Monrovia California workshop from ~1.2mm Shell Cordovan leather.
Hand-stitched with top-quality German cord.
5/8” and 11/16" width, might do 20mm, contact me with interest.
Regular 9” measured end to end not counting the stainless steel buckle.
Regular fits a wrist approximately 6.75” to 7.5”.
Shorter and longer lengths available, as well as edge painting and different colors of stitching.
5/8" with polished or brushed stainless steel buckle, 11/16" with polished or matte stainless steel buckle.
Small selection of NOS vintage buckles also available.
$75/shipped tracked and insured in the USA with current-production buckle.
Drop a note for options, I’d love to make a strap for you to enjoy for years.
Thank you, Scott
