What do you use to give a strap that vintage look? sandpaper, if so, what type? what type of motion?
I've got a few straps that don't make the rotation that I'd like to play with and speed up the aging/vintage process.

I've always found it difficult to enjoy wearing canvas straps but I guess I'll be visiting the Dr.'s office as this one looks amazing. Really well paired with the Ti 177 @donkacper!
I like canvas straps, especially in the summer.

Yes, I agree that it looks great with the 177, although I bought this strap for the 1288.
Unfortunately my 1288 arrived DOA and I am waiting to receive another one so I put it on the 177, but I feel it’s a great match for both these watches.

2 more bespoke straps that Attirail just finished for me. One is a painted French ammo with a natural french ammo lining & grey stitching, the other is a khaki shark with burgundy lining. On the shark strap I requested to make it thicker using an additional layer and for the edges to be polished rather than the usual black edgecoat. I think the visible layers are a nice touch. Both buckles were sourced from DC Straps as I like their thicker construction.
