Shell Cordovan Nato

I forgot I ordered these last week from a VRF member and was very excited to see them in my mailbox today! Now I just need to age them a bit so they don't look so new on my 5512. Any ideas how to do that besides wearing them.





Red and Black for my Georgia Bulldogs




Too many choices

Cool stuff. I should take a picture of my growing strap collection. I have added several new ones in the past few weeks. I received the gray-blue Corvus admiralty NATO today. Loving it.

Too many options? No such thing.

Congrats, it looks great! Natural wear will look best.

Not easy....I do not have a shell cordovan band, but have serveral in shoes. This type of leather--when polished correctly--can continue to look shiny and new for a very long period indeed. Enjoy in good health.

It's supposed to be on your wrist Kyle. Not in a box. ;)

That has to be one of the best looking GMT's around. Amazing

Sure looks beautiful Matt. Ask Kyle how to age your strap, he had posted how he sand papered his a while ago and looked awesome.
