Product Description
Made by hand in Greenville, South Carolina, these watch straps by Jack Foster begin with either Chromexcel, Essex, or Dublin leather, all made by Horween Leather Company. Sought after for its tone, texture, and durability, Chromexcel is prone to creases, scuffs, and other markings that reflect your personal use Read More
Bought these a few months ago, and just had a chance to open the boxes tonight.
Sort of junky looking, with massive buckle holes and that big, gaudy and cheap looking buckle. The sort of strap that belongs on a cheap "replica" watch. I should have looked more closely at the pics prior to purchase. And construction is fair at best.
Oh well....at least they were cheap.
I bought the black and dark brown, the brown strap was Ok, the black strap was thiner and difficult to even enter in the keeper. would not recommend for the price range.
Received my straps over the weekend. They are the some of the worst constructed straps I have seen. The glue seams are not properly glued, see photos. This is right out of the box without even installing, wearing or using the straps. Very disappointed.

I just received my Jack Foster Horween Dublin English Tan strap and as a watch collector with cases full of straps, I have to say it has the worst QC of any strap I've seen. The two halves were obviously cut from entirely different hides - with different tanned colors and, amazingly, even different thicknesses. The straps are also totally devoid of any stamps or other maker markings indicating what it is. They understandably aren't very proud of their product. Guys, there are so many great strap makers out there, if Jack Foster appears in a future drop... pass and look elsewhere.

IanAndersonThanks for the quick response Ian; message has been sent to the support team simply to raise awareness of what appears to be a systemic QC problem with the Jack Foster straps offered on Massdrop.
I love these straps. Yes Horween leather si stretchy, but I did not expect anyting else. I personally think it is by far the nicest strap I have bought in years. And the vintage feel is excellent with several of my watches.

I got two of these in the May drop. I have to say after living with them for a couple months the leather is not holding up as I would expect to say the least. I've had to move holes twice since the leather is soooooo stretchy. Really seems as though this leather isn't suited very well for watch straps. It's beautiful, yes. But the rate at which the holes grow (even when I'm not cranking the strap down tight as hell on my wrist) is pretty unreasonable. Disappointing purchase overall.
As an example, I have 7" wrists and bought the standard length. I only have one hole left before I have to start punching my own after 2 and a half months. The hole I'm on now is getting to the point where it's loose enough where I'm going to have to jump to the last hole soon...
