Kiwi leather is something a little different. It's a full veg tanned leather I found in a leather wholesaler in the summer, and it is one for anyone who likes a colourful strap. The leather is hard wearing yet supple, and has a pronounced grain pattern that works so well with the vivid lime colour. There is no doubt about it, this will get comments!

Redwood is what is known as a "crazy horse" leather. It's a heavyweight, full grain leather that is treated with oils after tanning to produce a product that is hardwearing yet supple, and which will develop a fabulous patina as it ages. Redwood is a lovely dark reddish brown colour with a slight pull-up. It is the perfect leather for a watch strap. Confusing as it may sound, "crazy horse" leather is not a horse leather, it's actually made from cow hides. It's called "crazy horse" because being supple and very hardwearing it was traditionally used in the manufacture of horse saddles. The strap photographed for this page was stitched with natural thread (which I personally think works best with Redwood), but black and grey stitching also work well. If you want something that will stand out then bright yellow stitching is something to consider. To see the options for thread colour see the stitching colours page. Straps produced with Redwood leather will be approx 4.5mm thick and are priced as follows: £100 with a free spring bar buckle £105 with a sewn in buckle £110 with a screw bar buckle -
