New Cordovan Strap for my Manometro

Good point about the coating Bruce.

possibly the best leather in the world.
Congrats - the straps look great!

Strap support
Hiya, when you had your replacement straps made, were you able to remove the small support mechanism on the strap itself?
Manometro strap improvement.
