Padding shape and variable thickness is also worth specifying.
I prefer padding that's thicker (maybe 3.8mm) near the watch head and gets thinner as you go down the strap towards the tail. That's functionally easier, too, if you use a tang buckle because you'll be bending the strap. It won't matter as much if you use a deployant buckle because you'll never bend the strap so acutely.
Also, you should be able to specify the padding profile (you can with JR, anyway). I like the padding profile to be softly rounded, like a semicircle, rather than have the more squared-off, vertical "drop" between the padded portion and the stitching that we typically see in today's Lange straps. The older Lange straps (made by Kaufmann, and also Perrin I think) had a more rounded profile. They were also slightly glossier, more semi-matte than totally matte.
Lange factory strap
I like the lange strap, the thickness and the curve on the end. I want to order an OEM strap , is the only way go to boutique? I looked hoping I could order online, they just had boutique phone. Honestly easiest would be an email contact or buy on website...
JR made me an “OEM” gator strap
Square padding and rounded tip. And I am pretty sure they have been the mfg for Lange in the past ...
Wow that's a beautiful combo!
The button pusher PC amazing. That is a similar look I'm going for. Did you know how much padding thickness is OEM? I see 3.5-6mm in CF configurator.

I’ve made several custom Lange spec straps with JR too.
Same taper, padding etc. Exact to Lange spec. And they do make straps for Lange (customers order custom via Lange and JR make them) as far as I know.
I will need to look into
Their sit was little weak, at least on my phone. Do you know how much padding they use?
JR and Hadley Roma Infob
JR makes great Lange straps. Best experience is if you visit their NYC boutique twice -- first to pick your skin (by the window, in natural lighting) and get measured, and second to pick up the strap and have them punch the holes in it (if you trust them ...
"Yes" is the answer to your question. Contact a Lange Boutique.
