Normunds Report post Posted October 2, 2009 Hello, I am just started to learn about leatherwork. I want to make a watch straps for my watches, because of handmade straps are very expensive. Can you tell me what kind of edge finish is on attached strap? It seems some kind of rubber type custom colored edge finish. And another question on this leather. What kind it is? Veg tanned and colored? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tkleather1 Report post Posted October 2, 2009 Well the first I would say is Edge Cote, and the second I would guess is chap leather or chrome tan But I am no expert. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rawhide Report post Posted October 2, 2009 ditto on the edge kote, However the watch strap looks like a latigo. You can tell if it's chrome tanned by looking for a thin grey sliver in the middle of the cross section on leather (plus it won't soak up water). Cheers.
