Hi guys,

Been a while since I've posted here but thought I would share this. I've been looking for a while to get a leather strap to mix things up and not worry about scratching the original bracelet (I'm a bit mental when it comes to that). I got it from The Strap Smith made from WWI military leather. The quality/fit/finish is extremely good, got it in brown form somebody on this site suggesting that would go good with black (would have gotten black otherwise). Could not be happier with the strap and color of it, neither would have taken place if not from looking around on this great site :bow:

It's very interesting but I prefer a tapered strap. Probably the photo angle but this one looks straight. Very nice though & special. I like it a lot.

Thanks Jim and yes it is straight. I also like the tapered looks as well

Great combo! It the leather soft and supple or do you have to wear it to break it in? I've always wondered that with the older WWII ammo straps.

Thank you! Yes it is a bit stiff and for sure will need to be broken in/conditioned to soften up. It seems to be very thick leather as well (a touch over 1/8 of an inch) so that might not help either but feels fine when wearing it.
