1/8/19-Day 1-PARIS The potential for a proper patina on a natural leather watch strap is huge. I know from previous pieces made from this leather that it develops beautifully, but I've never tried it on anything as exposed as a strap. If I can remember, I'll update monthly on its progress. I'm also curious to see how this lightweight leather handles the task, at the moment it's bugging me that I can't fit anything heavier over the fixed pins. #honestthomas #leatherwork #leatherwatchstrap #naturalleather #patinapotential #htpatinaprogress #g10watch #cwcg10 #cwcwatch #militarywatch #vintagewatch #1987 #swissmade #madeinbritain #tritium #tritiumdial #vintagemilitary #rugged #vintagestyle #ruggedstyle https://www.instagram.com/p/B0np8rkAVEW/?igshid=1qnjvnzf2191h

Aside from the obvious hand forged buckles and peened rivet washers most of the details on my Bishamon belts are hidden away. . Discreet stamped branding to the back of the buckle, just because letter stamped metal looks too cool. Traditional Japanese Kikkō pattern stamped into the back of the strap, mainly because I was slightly obsessed with the pattern back when but it also has a function too, see if you can guess. And of course, hand stitched belt keepers, tucked away between the layers of Britains finest 16oz Harness leather never to be seen. But that's ok though, I don't mind. . . #honestthomas #handmade #handmadebelt #forgedcopper #copperbuckle #selvedge #denim #ruggedwear #ruggedstyle #patinapotential #bishamon #kikko #leatherbelt
