Materials & Build
Each Vintage Suede Leather Watch Strap is constructed from genuine calfskin suede, selected for its consistent nap and supple feel. 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. As you wear it, the suede will develop a unique character, darkening slightly in areas of high contact.

FAQ
Is this strap waterproof?
Suede is a porous material and should not be submerged in water. 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.
How do I clean the suede?
To 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.
Does it require a break-in period?
Unlike stiff top-grain leather, suede is naturally flexible. This strap will feel comfortable almost immediately, though it will fully conform to the specific shape of your wrist after about two to three days of consistent wear.
Will the color rub off on my clothes?
The dyes used in our suede are set during the tanning process to prevent color transfer. However, we recommend avoiding contact with light-colored shirt cuffs if the strap becomes damp from rain or heavy perspiration until it has fully dried.
