Hello there,

now I sure don't "have a dog in the fight" either ...
(didn't know that phrase, but really like it, John)

but hope I can help ... but don't want to confuse ;-)

Giuliano does excellent work ! No doubt ! From Bella Italia ! :-)
I've bought many straps from him already !
Different styles, different kind of leather, some even "custom-made" shorter and less holes.
His address is : thealarm69 at yahoo dot com

But, to be fair, I should also mention James. ( also known as DB10, but I can't do the link )
From Merry England. Sells wonderful straps too - I've got quite a selection ... ;-) many, many ...
Enormous selection of styles and different leather.
His address is : jameshyman10 at outlook dot com

BOTH are very recommendable, imho.

Stewart's straps are great too, most certainly !
Though, I haven't bought any of his yet.
And 'Hello' to Stewart: please, you will forgive me, I hope, for mentioning the two mates.

So, Andrew ... you now have the "problem" of such great choice ... ;-)
I suggest : Get at least two straps, and switch occasionally ... I think you should enjoy :-)

Have a good weekend,
ALL you folks

Cheers,
Prost,

Olaf

P.S.: I hope Giuliano and James - HELLO THERE :-) - both don't mind that I forwarded the addresses.
THANKS TO BOTH OF YOU FOR EXCELLENT PIECES OF HANDCRAFT (I wear, from either one, almost every day!)
