Thinnest leather watch strap I have ever seen.
It did not make it a year before both studs ripped through the leather.
I really like the aesthetic, but I wish he would use some heavier duty leather.
With these Autumn Harvest straps, the leather is very different. It's a waxed 4 oz cowhide from Acadia leather, with a definite medium temper and high density to it. It holds up really well to stretching, and only gets more unique as you use it. The thickness is right on the money in terms of watch compatibility and comfort. Probably my favorite leather to date.
Anyway, hope that sheds some light!
Looking forward to it!
But at this point, you'll have to agree that it's a bit more than just an opinion. Others have expressed concerns about the durability of your straps in this thread. You say that you've never had any issues with the "structure" of your products, but didn't gaberade already describe how the studs ripped through his strap? In fact, you've acknowledged these problems by switching to a thicker leather.
Regarding your design choices: I appreciate that you've thought about these matters carefully. But your straps are subject to the same design constraints as leather nato bands. There are many nice leather natos sold at a similar price point; I would not describe any of them as flimsy. Are you not aware of comparable products that are already on the market?
I do admire the style of your bands, and I sincerely wish you success. I'm sure that your new and upgraded straps will appeal to many customers. For myself, I would not be interested in purchasing again from someone who thought it was OK to ship a product such as the one that I received.
