Antique Green is a fully vegetable tanned leather that I think is just wonderful. Produced by a small tannery in northern Europe, this leather goes through a lengthy tanning process incorporating natural oils and animal fats before being dyed a deep olive green. The finished product makes a watch strap that is supple from the first wear and will build patina over time. If you are considering a green strap I recommend this whole heartedly – it has bags of character.
The strap photographed for this page was stitched with natural thread, but emerald green thread will give it a low contrast stitch, and black stitching works very well with this leather too. If you want to see the options for thread colour please see the stitching colours page.
Straps produced with Antique Green leather will be approx 4mm thick.
