A couple new straps

Picked up my new straps from the post office today. I can't believe how fast I got them. Ordered Tuesday and they were actually here on Saturday. Nothing but kudos for Heroic 18.

I have two Heroic 18's and love them both and they're super soft and comfortable! Congrats on the new straps.

Peter, they look great with your 312

What are the details of the first (brown) strap? I am going to order a H18 for my 111, but undecided on colour.


Cheers

Thanks everyone.

Clive, here is the link to the strap http://www.heroic18.com/product-deta...sub_cate_id=37

I was surprised at how large the buckle is compared to OEM, but I like it. I'm wearing the black strap today.

I would like to get a new carbon style strap, slightly longer than standard for my 312, I have a big wrist, any recommendations ?

Heroic 18 has them http://www.heroic18.com/product-list...sub_cate_id=36, but I don't think they're that much longer than the standard. You could contact them and see if they can make longer ones.

Micah also makes straps to order, so you could get the exact length you want. http://www.vintagerstraps.com/zstraphtml/carb.html
