Cowhide is the sturdiest everyday leather we use: thicker than calf, slower to crease, and it takes on a polish along the fold lines instead of cracking. Brown saddle stitching in the classic straight pattern keeps everything tonal. Padded build, and fitted with quick release spring bars so you can swap it onto another watch without a tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLined with Zermatt, a soft French calf lining that stays comfortable in heat and does not transfer colour onto the skin. Edges are bevelled, burnished and sealed by hand in three passes. Every strap is made to order: send us your lug width, the length of each half and the buckle finish, and we cut it to your wrist. Free engraving of up to 12 characters on the lining — a name, initials or a date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLeather\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull-grain cowhide\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChocolate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStrap form\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePadded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStitch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrown, classic hand saddle stitch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEdge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand painted and burnished\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLining\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eZermatt calf\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFitting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eQuick release spring bars\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBuckle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSteel classic buckle, engraving available\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMade for\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEveryday and field watches, 12–24 mm lugs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLead time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3–5 days to make, then shipping\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Cowhide\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFull-grain cowhide keeps the outermost layer of the hide, the part with the tightest fibre structure, so nothing has been buffed away to hide flaws. That makes it the most hard-wearing leather on this site and the one that ages best — it darkens, softens and picks up a natural shine where it rubs. Expect it to feel firm for the first week and then settle to the shape of your wrist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhich lug width and length should I order?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeasure the gap between your watch lugs in millimetres; that is your lug width. We make this full-grain cowhide strap in pairs from 12 to 24 mm (for example 20\/18 or 22\/20 mm) and in lengths from 105\/65 to 135\/105 mm for wrists of roughly 14 to 22.5 cm. Custom sizes are made to measure.

Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth, avoid swimming or soaking it, and if it gets wet, blot it and let it air-dry away from direct heat. A little neutral leather conditioner a few times a year keeps it supple.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow long does delivery to the US take?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery strap is cut and stitched to order in our Ha Noi workshop in 3–5 business days, then ships to the US for a flat $5.99 with 10–12 days in transit. Orders over $350 ship free.
