Strap Freaks!!!

cool mate, looks gorgeous, enjoy!!
In the beginning of this year I got the idea to ask one of the suppliers from my work for some pieces of leather to make straps out of.
I send them to a friend who has made me several straps in the past so I know what I could expect.
They came in this week and I have to say, I couldn’t be happier.
First of all the price of it as I supplied the leather is really nice but the Nappa leather lends itself pretty good for straps.
They all have a filler in them as they are too thin.
I especially was looking forward to the blue strap as that was asways intended to go on the 692, hence the white thread used.
Looking forward hearing your opinion on these.

@Olavmol All straps are fantastic! Love the colours. The blue one perfectly matches the 692! Its always been a challenge
Matching something to the 692 and this does the job exquisitely. I absolutely love the other brown straps!

Nice! Francois makes superb straps and is great to work with - even when you are as picky as I am...
So my 'bargain' TC straps arrived today. And Canada Customs decided to hit me with a $65 charge. faaaaaak. Shoulda known better with FedEx shipping. Had TC used USPS, I would have been in the clear, but no other shipping option.

I had purchased a few MP straps from TC 2-3 years ago and was happy with them. However I purchased 4 straps in this closeout sale including a Brelli Kodiak and I'm shocked at the poor quality of all 4. I already have an older Brelli Kodiak that is beautiful and very soft, however the new 'Kodiak' feels like plastic.
