Hodinkee Cooper Lined Leather Watch Strap - Dark Brown / 22mm

Each strap in the Cooper collection is made of supple English bridle leather, providing it with a distinctive look that has an authentic equestrian feel. The leather used is sourced from North American cattle of European stock, and it undergoes a vegetable oak tanning treatment. The straps have a unique density that is extremely non-porous as a result of a "hot stuffing" process. Hot stuffing is a labor-intensive procedure that involves saturating the leather with natural waxes and oils in order to make it more resistant to humidity, sweat, and the general perils of day-to-day wear. As time goes by and the leather softens, it won't stretch or break apart. It will instead become more pliable and comfortable on the wrist, just like a quality leather strap should. This robustness is the reason why English bridle leather is often specified for saddles and harnesses, as well as for other high-end leather goods such as belts and wallets. We've sold a countless number of straps over the years, but the general consensus in the office is that the Cooper might just be the most hardwearing strap we've ever had. Regular: 115mm / 75mm Buckle: 18MMX16.5MM
