Combat Straps, aka Aaron Bespoke. I’ve had two custom straps made by him, stingray and canvas, both very high quality. Very prolific on Instagram if you want to see his work.

Bulang and Sons is great, and to me Bas & Lokes is better. Also have a Clover strap (Patrick is the owner) and for budget minded Colareb is nice

You can pay crazy money for watch straps but in the real world no better quality than the ones from Hirsch afraid paying crazy money dont always mean better.

Screw CF, if you want the best straps you gotta find out who supplies FPJ and Grönefeld e.g.

I’m trying out a small company in Singapore named Lac Crado for my Panerai. Will post results when the strap comes in. They seem pretty good and prices are very attractive.
