Ladies/Gents,

I'm very interested in what everyone is using for [leather] lanyards or fobs? I have a few that schaaf leather works provided me a while back. While they're very nice, they have the buckles and aren't quite beefy enough for me. I like the ones Kyle Shold used to make out of kangaroo hide.

What is everyone else using?

Thanks,
Ryan

I'm glad you're happy with them, Ryan.

My first Hamilton bounced a foot off the floor with hours of receiving it, so I hope you get a lot of use from these straps. Wink

Eric, actually they're so nice I wouldn't mind have one more of the two tone (2nd from right) and the dark one on the far left. do you still have a few more?

Ryan, I can make as many as you need.

I'll braid up a two-tone and a dark brown over the weekend and mail them Monday morning.

I will vouch for Eric's fobs. They are attractive, tough and priced right.
I just can't quite get it around my Mother - In - Laws. neck! But it fits the watch perfectly.

Patrick, for that we'd need less of Eric's leather, and more industrial strength rope/chain.

Seriously, its darn fine American made craftsmanship at a great price.

Hi Patrick;

Now why in the world would you want to put it around your mother-in-laws neck? Every time she set the dinner table it would bang on the edge of the table and just ruin that watch in no time at all.
