Members JPUK100 Posted September 25, 2017 Members Report Posted September 25, 2017 Hi We're looking for a British leather to use in a watch strap - do you have any recommendations? Thanks Jonathan Quote
Members AdamGadut Posted September 25, 2017 Members Report Posted September 25, 2017 something that's preferably thin so you can do the refined ones with folds, unless you are aiming for the simple straps goat hide - quick and easy - good for the straps with linings inside so they raise up other leathers should be ok as long as they are vegetanned, and that if you can skyve evenly Quote
Members Tpc Posted September 25, 2017 Members Report Posted September 25, 2017 Hi, I used 1.2 mm veg tan shoulder. Folded it, so as you have grain top and bottom. Also you have a lot of choice of colour. Quote
