Minerva Liscio is a rare vegetable-tanned leather from Badalassi Carlo, an artisanal tannery in Tuscany. Known for its smooth finish and medium temper, the leather is supple and made to last Read More
I may be interested. However I don't like using straps because they are too fragile: if they get soaked they're done... even with just the sweat of the wrist, the straps will turn ugly and damaged in a year or less. And I'm saying this after using and destroying original Omega/Longines straps. After those experiences, the first thing I do when I get a watch with a strap (because no bracelet option is available) is getting a bracelet and changing it right away. All my straps are totally new because I never use them.
Recently, I've found straps that have rubber in their inner part (Zenith has some here https://watchparts24.de/Zenith-rubber-calf-leather-strap-21-18-mm-black-for-different-Zenith-models) and for me those are the best option because at least the sweat won't damage the strap. I'm interested on a good and resistant strap because a strap is a better option for a formal event, but if there's no availability, I end up with the bracelet...
@Vulture_Premium are your straps resistant to normal sweat for example? Are you considering using rubber on the inner part or something that can withstand more abuse than leather? I know I'll never use a strap for swimming (that's how I ruined the strap on the Longines), but I wish that my strap will hold for a long time on a normal day to day usage.
I've got two of these straps: https://www.amazon.com/YOOSIDE-Sweatproof-Genuine-Silicone-Forerunner/dp/B07J44YW66/ but I don't like the leather that much... doesn't seem too formal, more likely a sport strap... and it's only available brown and for 22 mm
MarPablCurrently I am not set up to produce straps with rubber liners. Gluing dissimilar materials and finishing the edges of differing materials would present a lot of challenges without the use of the industrial tooling and machines the large watch strap companies have.
Leather straps shouldn't be soaked intentionally, but these will not fall apart no matter how wet they get. Each side of the strap (6' and 12') are made from one continuous piece of leather folded and strategically skived so that it remains the same thickness without bulging etc. These straps are bonded by glue and mechanically with stitching. There aren't any thin liners to wear through or fillers or anything, just vegetable tanned leather.
Having said all of this, I do not think these straps are for you though.

I have about a 7 in wrist. What size or length would you suggest? And, will the brown, tan straps darken somewhat or considerably. I was having a hard time telling the tan from the other lighter color in the pictures. One seemed more orangey ...
SteelthumbsI would suggest the 125/75mm strap. All of these straps will darken with age. The amount it darkens really depends on how much sunlight and abrasion the strap will receive. Yes, the Elm has a good bit or Orange to it.
Thank you, Will
Vulture_PremiumThanks! Got the brown strap. I’m interested in the green but am unsure of how it will age. Do you by chance have any pictures of aged straps? Instagram acct? Or other media acct.?
Any chance of making this drop happen again soon? I would love to get a black strap to compliment the elm I bought last time around. These are nice straps!
MoserGuyOh man, I wish it was guys, but it just one very overworked guy - me. haha
Unfortunately I cannot accommodate tonal stitching through this drop. I can get you sorted out though. Please e-mail me at vulturepremium@gmail.com

Vulture_PremiumThese look really nice. Luckily my current ones are still in good shape. Is it possible to get those quick-release, or whatever they are called, clips.
