Full Grain Cowhide Leather Strap 20/16mm [Chocolate, Side Stitch]

The Full-Grain Cowhide Strap. Vegetable-Tanned. Chocolate. Full-grain cowhide is the top grade of hide — the outer layer with the natural grain left intact, not sanded or corrected. Ours is vegetable-tanned the slow, traditional way, so it ages honestly: it softens, darkens and takes on a patina instead of flaking like coated leather. Cut, chiselled and stitched by hand by our leather artisans — 2.8mm thick, 20mm at the lug tapering to 16mm at the buckle, side-stitched in off-white thread on quick-release spring bars. This one is Chocolate. The accessible way into a proper handmade strap. The honest workhorse. Full-grain wears in, not out — the everyday cowhide that earns its patina instead of faking one. Full-grain, veg-tanned. The top grade of hide with the grain intact, tanned the slow traditional way — it patinas and softens with wear instead of flaking. Cut & stitched by hand. Cut, chiselled and side-stitched by hand in off-white thread by our leather artisans — not run off a machine. Quick-release, 20/16. Quick-release spring bars swap it in seconds, no tools. 2.8mm thick, 20mm at the lug tapering to a 16mm buckle. An honest price. Real handmade full-grain leather — the easy way into the range, and the everyday workhorse to our shell cordovan. Heads up — how a strap fits Any 20mm-lug watch.

Wipe with a dry cloth now and then; a little leather conditioner a few times a year keeps veg-tan supple. Expect it to darken and soften with wear and sun — veg-tan patina is the point, and every strap ages to its owner. 1x Handmade Leather Watch Strap 2x Quick-release spring bars (fitted) All photos of watches with modification parts are for illustration purposes only and are not included with the strap purchase.
