vintage looking strap review FinWatchStraps

Just wanted to share my experience for those looking at vintage looking straps to go with our builds.
I bought this on Etsy for a very reasonable price, it is artisan work, very solid, yet feels so supple, and the look is "worn in" while being brand new.
FinWatchStraps, handmade in Finland is the shop on Etsy, but I think they also have a website.
Kudos to this small shop for making first class straps!
Cheers

Thanks for the tip-off Redheart. The strap looks lovely, so does the Milgauss, and the pics are beautiful too. Bravo!

Just for the record the two-stitch strap type is not a vintage design. Vintage straps when stitched have normal fine machine stitching along the edges and sometimes across at the lugs. The whole 2-stitch, hand-stitch, rustic look thing is a modern construct.

I didn't know that, thanks for the info! I have other straps from another maker with across lugs sticking and they do look lovely too.
