Well I am extremely happy.. in my Strapaholic world THE best strap is in my hands.
You all know that my favourite of all the straps in my collection was the Metta made by Aaron more than 1,5 year ago.
THis leather for me is THE ultimate hide.. As vintage as it gets (220 years old) beautiful and my favourite colour and texture and the smell... mm the smell. You must have one to understand what I am talking about.
Thanks to a friend I had the opportunity to CUSTOM made 2 straps from this hide. Yes I had the raw hide in my house and the Honour, and Pleasure to make the two straps. One for me and one for him. And the house was smelling of the bottom of the ocean as my wife said
The result? I will let you judge about that..
I just loved the idea of working with my favourite hide to create a unique personal strap.
I will not post photos of his strap (which btw is very different than mine) because I want him to have the pleasure, but I am sure you will get tired in the next weeks of seeing mine.
150/80 - 24/24 - Dark brown stitching - One thick fixed keeper - Sewn-in polished Logo buckle
The problem now is how can I keep collecting straps if this is the ULTIMATE strap I could ever possible think of wearing?
Please don't ask me if I can make you one... Unfortunately I can't. This was once in a lifetime and it happened because of the other member. Nothing to do with me.
