[LSF] Leather So Fun [LSF]
:oops:

My first attempt 2013 self made strap.

A silverly/black embossed leather, made to look like a Zulu strap with no rings.

As moi wrist is small, customized to make it shorter with a loop.

:P



Thanks to "sinner1974", scs120" bros and "kokoro84" sista

for the inspiration and guidance provided in this forum.

Re: After so many months ... finally.
Good job! Was interested in strap making as well but once I found out the amount of time, equipment and learning curve involved, I decided to just buy them ;)

softup
Re: After so many months ... finally.
Thanks to all for yr encouraging comments.

Not easy to source cheap leather on ebay to practice on.

It also takes up yr time.

While waiting for the blue thread ...

Re: [LSF] Leather So Fun [LSF]


After settling the SS shroud problem, managed some time for making the leather strap again.

Still have enough for 2 end-straps of the same colour tone of the SCS watch strap which I made eariler.

One for the 2 pieces of normal 22mm straps and one for the so-called 20mm zulu strap.

Managed to get one worn out nato strap and took out one of the ring-loop-keeper.





The so-called 20mm zulu strap with 1 keeper.





Try out with a microfiber suede underlayer, forgotten about the thickness :evil:

Have to trim a bit at the lugs area to get it fit in :lol:



Thanks for looking.
