I've used Renapur on all my leather goods for years, it's amazing stuff. Treat your straps with this and they become buttery soft and water resistant.

Nos, you're very informative. I likes you.

I wonder what is Tootall's opinion of Renapur, if he's used it?

[peepshow]

I dunno if tootall has used Renapur or not. I started using Pecard's at tootall's suggestion and have been very pleased with it.

I have not used renapur so I can't comment on how well it works. It does look more like a lexol product though.

What made you unhappy about the Pecards? And what Pecards product did you get? And what are you putting it on?

Not for a suit but I love the new SC Legend II buckle - nice and thick on a Greg Crazy Horse

Tootall, I said I *HAVE* been very pleased with it.

DOH!! my bad man. Glad it's working well for you.

I was going to say if you are using it on exotics, you may not want to do that. Lexol is much better for exotics as it is not as thick and better PH balanced.

I have to vote for the thick strap too! I'm a big guy and just seems to both look and fit right!!!

[old skool]

The thickest one I wear is 7mm thick. So, with the two layers on top of each other and the keeper (which is not thined) it adds up to about 23mm thick from the wrist.

But I have a couple 3mm thick straps that I wear from time to time as well. I personally prefer around 5mm.

~4mm is my sweet spot.
