I’ve looked high and low, and haven’t found anything just right. Looking for a nice 2 piece canvas strap for my BB58 blue, likely grey. Perhaps similar to pictured. Where do you guys source your 2 piece canvas straps? Thanks!

Another pic to give you an idea of the texture I’m after:

Key Points from the Discussion

One highly recommended source for custom canvas straps is Aaron Bespoke, known for excellent quality and a wide range of colors, including olive-grey options that might suit the Tudor BB58 Blue.
Veblenist straps are noted for their attractive appearance, but some models feature a leather backing that can make them feel stiff, potentially not meeting the desired 'true canvas' feel for all collectors.
While OEM canvas straps, such as those from Glashütte Original, are often praised for their quality and aesthetics, their price point can be significantly higher than aftermarket alternatives, making them less accessible for some.
The author confirmed receiving additional positive recommendations for Aaron Bespoke from other Purists via private message, reinforcing its reputation within the community.
