Made my first ever handmade strap tonight!

Definately thicker thread, would look fantastic in suede. Good job, find a way to brand underside with your name or logo or a unique identifier, if its not too pricey I'd buy one.

This winter my plan is to make several and put them up. Someone offered I price them at £50 or so. I believe that is like $80 US. I just want to get a few out there to see how they fare on others wrists and enviroments. Let me put some together and get them on here. I am not using scrap or used leather in the construction. I sourced some good new vegetable tanned hide and do have some vintage leather jackets (military and non) to experiment for that vintaged look some of us like.
So far my first one is wearing very nicely. I can't wait to put up pics of it after its gotten a little more wear. So far it still squeaks like a new horsehide jacket!
