ok! i've decided to take sometime and do a photo session. unfortunately i only used my lousy htc phone, so it doesn't really do any justice to the straps.
let me introduce to u my fav straps in box 1!
<sharks>
MP 201a shark and dirk olive on PAM390. i understand these are all from the original ciampi factory.
<italian leather>
MPSE Olterra (superb texture, see in life to appreciate), MP 4 (very versatile and comfy), MP struzzo
Original Kodiak tantalum with PVD, dirk dark cognac on PVD (the best pvd buckle i've seen)
<gators>
all from my favorite lady strapmaker simona
<PAV leather>
dirk pav91 on pvd, MP pav98
<Pre-V and MX buckles>
both on dirk cognac, but on very different buckles. one is the current MX OEM and one is a preV copy.
<OEM straps>
my fav OEMs are assolutamente, cashmere, nylon and cracked vintage.
<AMMOS!>
the best part of panerais, to me is about the ammo straps. basically all made from war time ammunition bags. some of them still smell of gunpowder.
1 kevin tan, the rest are french ammos and painted french from paolo.
