• Russian Hatch Grain (Chicago Blue, Pasture Green, Saddle Brown, Oxblood)
• Waxy (Navy, Green, Brown)

• Exotic leather (alligator, ostrich, stingray, lizard) and other leather which we cannot yet procure steadily cannot be used as the top or bottom leather. If there are some leather or colour you want to use but is not in the list above, get in touch with us and we'll see if it's something we can provide.
• There are some things we cannot do:
• Integrated lugs that require very fine measurements
• Straps that require special inserts
• Tooling or engraving
• Different thread colour on both sides of the strap (all the straps will be handcrafted and saddle stitched. Hence the same strap goes through both the front and back of the strap)
• Custom embossing (only done for the winning strap)
• The strap has to be sufficiently unique or different from what we currently offer. The intent is to prevent people from using this as an avenue to get a cheap bespoke strap. I get that the definition of "unique" is subjective - we hope you understand our intent and where we are coming from.
