It`s Alive! I`m calling this one Frankenstein. The whole strap was made by me including the buckle. The natural cracking in the leather was caused by a freeze brand mark. The specs. are 26x26mm, 140x82mm, 6mm thick. The buckle was made with old skool skill by hand cut, hand grind, and hand sanded finish. Buckle is American stainless steel, 1x1.75 and 2.65mm thick. This strap is not for the fainthearted. Is waterproof also. Please let me know what you guys think. Thanks for looking. joe.

Certainly an unusual look. If it were mine I would be tempted to play with it more, give it more shine, maybe fill the cracks with another color (burnt orange perhaps.)

What about the strength and stability where it is deeply cracked near the buckle - is that strong enough?

Anyway, it's interesting in a weird way... Larry.

I like it looks tough.

Thanks Guys. The cracks are not that deep, only 20%. Very durable, it`s also lined underneath with 2mm same type of leather.

Will look even better once broken in!
