Tomorrow I am off for a trip to Greece where I will try to find a big quantity of leather to make straps to offer to the forum.
But I should choose between two styles:
1. VINTAGE.
I may be able to find old leather from the 1st and 2nd World war.
2. Contemporary
As the title says. New leather probably from a Brand (like the CK, Marlboro, Sergio Tacchini etc I have sourced for myself)
Final cost of the strap (custom made to your specifications and size from 22/22 to 26/26) won't be more than 100$ without buckle (but of course it may be less than that depending on the cost of the leather I will source).
Let me know what you think and if you believe this is a good idea.
