scottosaurus Posted September 26, 2010 Report Posted September 26, 2010 Fur straps. Has this ever been done? It's not that different from leather when you think about it.
upland Posted September 26, 2010 Report Posted September 26, 2010 Fur straps. Has this ever been done? It's not that different from leather when you think about it. You should ask Nanuq...
valerian Posted September 26, 2010 Report Posted September 26, 2010 You should ask Nanuq... I am certain he specializes in Mammoth fur. Nanuq, wanna chime in? Val.
swdivad Posted September 26, 2010 Report Posted September 26, 2010 Well, actually it would be a 'bit' different to leather... you'd have to shave that thing... or maybe wax, depending on your preference
PeteM Posted September 26, 2010 Report Posted September 26, 2010 Well, actually it would be a 'bit' different to leather... you'd have to shave that thing... or maybe wax, depending on your preference Adds a whole new meaning to.... All fur coat and no knickers!!
asciwhite Posted September 26, 2010 Report Posted September 26, 2010 1. Take a normal leather strap. 2. Shave your dog/cat or your GF`s puss 3. Gorilla glue it on...... Voila you have a fur bracelet *yuck*
scottosaurus Posted September 26, 2010 Author Report Posted September 26, 2010 Ouch! You guys are harsh. Ok, I'll admit I opened myself up to a bashing. I was thinking with all the exotic straps out there (boa, hornback, elephant, cashmere camel, etc) that someone, somewhere would have tried a fur strap. It could be gaudy leopard spots or tiger stripes, but it could also be classy like black sable.
PeteM Posted September 26, 2010 Report Posted September 26, 2010 Just banter mate There are plenty of strap makers doing fur straps, the most common I have seen is goat. But as it can attract unwanted attention from people with certain views I havent seen any on a guys wrist. Seen a few designers ladies watches with faux fur bands.

valerian Posted September 26, 2010 Report Posted September 26, 2010 Ouch! You guys are harsh. Ok, I'll admit I opened myself up to a bashing. I was not trying to bash you, just had a little fun. Sorry if this came across as being harsh. I honestly have not seen any fur straps, but I'm sure it's been done before. If you find some, please post a wristie. Nanuq obviously won't, although I heard he has some of those mammoth fur strapped ice age Rolexes hidden somewhere in an glacial cave. Val.
PeteM Posted September 26, 2010 Report Posted September 26, 2010 Heres a few examples from my personal collection...... Here is a one example but its a bit big for my wrist And here is a fringe benefit of making your own!!!
scottosaurus Posted September 27, 2010 Author Report Posted September 27, 2010 Ha ha ha! No offense taken fellas - I know it's all in good fun. Now that I've seen PeteM's straps I'm convinced there's a reason we don't see fur straps. Those are just fugly!

ubiquitous Posted September 27, 2010 Report Posted September 27, 2010 I love beaver pelt. Not the animal kind though...
scottosaurus Posted September 28, 2010 Author Report Posted September 28, 2010 Ok, maybe there's an exception to the rule.
