Title: Strap Life
Post by: kygan711 on July 16, 2014, 11:07:36 AM: Hi, anyone have got a first hand experience how long a custom leather strap will last ?
Or better what is the longest period you have worn one and what is the condition now ?
Just curious to find out and lets minus the strap defect or odd scenarios to keep things real due to daily wear and tear.
Thanks for sharing.

Post by: kygan711 on September 19, 2015, 09:32:00 PM: there are some makers from thailand and singapore. a couple from indonesia. But their prices are not really a lot cheaper from the US and European strap makers. Average price is USD80 up to USD 250 depend on the maker as some are more famous and been around long enough to command this fee for their workmanship.

Go google and your should find them.
