Reply With QuoteNot much you can do about the wear, but if a NATO gets stinky, either handwash it and rinse well, hang dry from the buckle, or tie it in a sock and throw it through the washing machine with a load.
Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere but a few searches didn’t yield much...
I have an orange perlon strap that I pair with a Bremont MB2. After 20 or so wears the perlon has really lost its shape and is looking quite dirty/worn.
Is there anything that can be done to wash/rejuvenate the strap or is it time to buy another one?

Thanks, I’ll give that a go

I usually wait until I have 2 or 3 NATO that have become a little grubby and then put them in one of those little string bags that come with washing machine tablets and throw them in with the laundry. After the wash I pull them back into shape and let them dry naturally. I've been wearing NATO straps for 30 years and this has always worked for me.

Great idea, thanks, I'll give that a try.
I'll give that a go (on one of my lesser quality ones in case I accidentally set fire to it!!)
