Hi

I just received my tedsu blue croc strap. I just have some questions about crocodile leather. Why does my croc strap feel so soft? Is croc suppose to be medium to soft? I thought it would be harder and tougher ( more durable feeling) ? Are there crocodile/alligator straps that are harder and stronger?


Heres pic of my strap collection so far..

2 Bakeka straps black and natural. I LOVE bakekas italian leather. Its the hardest of my straps but still find it very comfortable and feels super durable. Love it

1 Gunny grey strap. This leather feels sooo soft almost like cotton paper. This strap was made very well. WHen i first got it, i did not like it but wearing it more i liked it more! This strap is so soft that i think its not good to wear in hot weather because when your wrists sweat it soaks into the strap.. but its a very good strap overall.

1 Tedsu croc strap. First time trying a croc strap and its pretty soft... did not expect that.. are all croc/alligator straps like this?

I think it depends on the kind of croc/alligator used and the method used for tanning the leather.
I have a few croc straps from the same maker and they range from very soft to hard depending on the skin he used.
