The strap measures approximately 3mm in thickness at the lugs, tapering down to 2.5mm for a slim profile on the wrist. The underside features a sweat-resistant lining that helps the strap maintain its shape while protecting the suede from natural skin oils.

While it handles minor splashes during hand washing, you should remove it before showering or swimming. If the strap gets wet, let it air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to keep the leather soft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow do I clean the suede?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo maintain the texture, use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove dust or debris. For small spots, a suede eraser works effectively. Avoid using liquid leather cleaners or oils, as these will flatten the nap and darken the color permanently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eDoes it require a break-in period?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike stiff top-grain leather, suede is naturally flexible.
