More new shoes? Somebody stop me!

I can't get it under control. Oh well, it is fun. This is from a relatively new strap maker Keith W aka Codman! I'm not sure how long, but long enough to make a decent strap it seems.

Initial thoughts are GOOD, but I'll leave a review until I have a bit more wear on it. Just PM me (or look on p.com) if you would like the maker's contact info.

So the color is coooool! It is brown, but somehow greenish olive drabby. It is hard to describe as the strap is also a little nubuck/suede. The texture is awesome and will most likely develop some kind of patina with wear. Not sure what kind, but hey, it'll be fun finding out.



So I put it on the 210, which is getting really easy for me. I did it mfer style, no tape, no protection, just constant force on a bubble envelope that Keith sent to me. It's a long one for me, but not obscenely long. My strap I have on order is going to be even longer!



Love the loose buckle. I've never had a strap like this before.



Underside looks good. This strap is softer than what I'd normally go for, but it is super comfy right out of the box too.



You can see here, I already scratched the nubuck a little, but I call it character. I like it, plus my dial came out clear in this pic!



And the wrist shot!



I'm pretty happy.

The strap collection continues to grow and I'm growing my strapmaker's too!
