    Help me find a decent quality canvas strap please

    I have a 007 and an Everest and I'd like to get a decent quality canvas I can use with both, 22mm obviously.

    I've been looking for ages without success. I had a Hadley Roma Cordura which did nothing for me as it was a bit mainstream and boring, I fancy a less formal, more rugged one. Eddie's two-piece would be perfect but frustratingly it's only in 20mm.

    Cost wise I'm limited to around £25.

    so, let me know what you can find!

    Cheers.

    Surely the two-piece is nylon, so how about Eddie's canvas strap?

    I've had a couple of these and they're not really the quality I was looking for.

    Hirsch canvas perhaps? I own two and the quality is excellent IMO.

    Are canvas watch straps actually made from cotton or linen?

    plenty of watch straps out there that call themselves canvas but are they natural fibres, man made fibres or a mixture ?

    I like them too and I have their super oyster for my 007 however they're too pricey for me at the moment.

    Dave, I've been after something like this for ages to my frustration, one of the best I came across was a canvas strap from Banda.I got it from Carl at GGBones it was slightly padded and leather backed, available in khaki, black and brown all washed out and slightly distressed, I had it on my Pulsar military, 18A and it looked superb but the only problem for me was it was slightly too short for my 7.5" wrist.
    I don't think Carl has anymore but I'd be surprised if you can't still get them.

    There's a guy on Ebay name of StrapsCo, worth a look as he may have something, I noticed he had a denim strap in various colours, really liked the khaki one.

    I like that place too but nothing doing I'm afraid.

    Cheers anyway.

    Kobold 2-piece canvas straps also available at USD25 + shipping (I presume).

    head to steveostraps.com and find the para canvas straps, I bought 2 for my Transglobe and they are fantastic. the olive green one works best for me...





    I took my kobold straps off the TransG and fitted them to my 8100 and Dopple. very good straps but seem to be a little small for the 22mm lugs.
    you can see the gap below...

    Those Kobold ones look interesting, thank you. I think I'll try a couple of those this summer.
