Choosing & care

Find the right strap.

Measure the width and leather length

The inner width of the buckle determines the strap width. To measure the length, open the strap, lay it flat and measure all the leather, excluding the buckle. Ideally, the buckle should fasten through the middle holes.

Care for and attach your strap

Always apply leather grease or oil to the inside of the strap. On carved straps, oil applied to the outside can darken the motif. Our guide includes care advice and a video showing how to attach a strap.
