New Strap Recommendation

Chaps, I’m looking for a new strap for my 233! I already have a mixture of OEM, Vintager and DiStefano. I love the OEM tunnel strap and OEM green canvas is superb. My Vintager is so soft and supple that it is close to my favourite. DiStefano is a little tough, but removing the moveable keeper has made it more comfortable.
I am looking for a blue, anything from light to denim to darker. It must be soft and made from leather, suede or nubuck etc. What do you recommend and please post pics.

Micah’s “Tahoe” strap is so incredibly soft and supple. I enjoy mine.

Well, I’m a little biased, China, so I’m probably not the right person to ask. Thing is, I can’t see past Dangerous9; take a look at what John has to offer in blue:

Shark skin or ostrich leg is where I’d be looking
