Sky blue leather is a very soft steer hide with a silky touch and in a great colour – perfect if you want a casual look. It’s very soft and so comfortable from the first wear. I’ve sewn it with grey thread for my own use, but denim, royal blue or natural work really well too.

Vanilla is a pliable calf leather with a fine grain and a lovely soft feel.

This is a leather I am very excited about. It is a veg tanned horse hide from Horween and is available in a limited quantity only. It’s beautifully soft and supple, and has a deep richness to it. Personally I think it is perfect with dark brown thread, but works well with natural, grey, or even royal blue or emerald green thread too.

Bubble gum is a thick nubuck leather strap. Soft and supple, it is another leather available in limited quantity and something a bit different.

Serpent is a thin, soft & pliable calf leather with a snake print pattern and a matt finish. I won’t use exotic skins for my straps, but the chance to use a calf leather with an effective snake skin print was something I couldn’t pass on.
