About five days ago, a friend f mine mailed me to order a strap for a friend of him. The first mail was containing the "customer's" preferences: Strap lengths, lug size, leather, thread and buckle color. my friend's friend is my friend, too, which means that I want to thrill him as much I can!
A couple of hours thinking, calculating and writing down my thoughts gave me some final proposals to recommend to him. The first photos with the two possible threads were sent:

The strap displayed in the pictures above is a strap made for me, and is made by the leather that the "customer" likes. He also asked for light brown thread, so I recommended these two threads. Both of them are 100% natural silk threads, the quality and the touch is really nice and it's also impossible to cut by hands.
The photos were sent to the customer, and the last returned with his preferences. So I started measuring, cutting, sticking, waxing, stitching and everything else needed! After many hours of non-stop working, the first sample was ready to get captured and previewed by the final receiver.

In the last picture you can see the profile of the full-grain strap. This leather type is very elastic and soft, which means that it needs to be worn and worked to take it's final fit and shape.
If the customer says that my creation fits his wills, the Black Pre-v buckle will be fitted and the strap will be sent with love, of course with a special , also unique, little present!
I hope you enjoyed my work. Thank you very much for reading my article!
