Reply With QuoteWhat watch will it be going on?
Im looking to buy a brown leather watch strap but having had mainly bracelets im looking for something really soft and supple. What type of leather should i be looking for that will last and be comfortable and where should i buy from. I have an 8”” wrist so need a decent length. I like the look of Kudu but cant get a colour that i really like- a sort of honey colour or slightly darker.22mm in width going to 20mm to use a deployant.. cheers.
What watch will it be going on?
Its to go on a Bremont Alt1 WT- white dial. Its the only watch at the moment i dont wear on a rotation and feel if i had a new strap it would make me enjoy it more.
How about a Di-Modell Oregon (veg tanned and handstitched) for not much money?

As a fellow big-wristee (is that right?) I know it's difficult to find decent XL straps so I'd recommend getting a strap custom made. Try Pavstraps (Pav79 on this forum)- I've used him numerous times and never been less than overjoyed with what I've received.
Check out Bulang and Sons, their straps are great quality and very supple from the first wear.

I agree about the quality and being supple. I don't know if make extra long though or straps for deployants.Originally Posted by mark.wilo13
Some good suggestions which i will look at today. Thanks to those who replied.
Big fan of Colareb, very comfortable leather straps, worth a try if you find a style to match the watch.

Just quickly looking at Colareb and they have a strap that may suit. Has anyone got one and can give details on quality etc.
Will look at all the others suggested tonight when im home. Thanks again.
You could Bremont leather to match, I have a £25 voucher code if you want it to help the cost..
EDIT: Sorry, just checked the voucher ran out on 26th May..

Big fan of Martu handmade straps. Worth looking at.

Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.
I have a Martu leather strap on the Bremont just now, one of the padded ones she made for me. Decent strap but took a while to come.
Bremont dont have a style that im thinking of. Im looking for a sort of aged/distressed look to the strap but defo worth suggesting. Cheers.
I have two brown distressed colareb straps and a blue one. Quite thick but amazingly flexible.

He vintage brown and tan are lovely.
I dont know if its the type of thing you like but Ive had a few distressed nato's from Alex at Yellowdgg in the past.
Custom made to your wrist size.
Cheers,

Thanks for all the help. This is the sort of colour and look I’m thinking of.

I like the black Martu strap i have on the Bremont just now but never wear the watch, i always end up picking something else so decided to get a brown strap to see how it works. My only issue with Martu is waiting 4-5 weeks on delivery but may still go that route.
