Matte Calfskin - Stone Grey
This is a French calfskin strap, but I love its matte finish that sits neatly between a dressy finish and a more distressed, vintage feel. More durable and dressed-up than nubuck or suede, but not as dressy as traditional calfskin. The Matte Calfskin works on everything from a Patek Philippe Calatrava to a vintage Rolex Submariner. At 2.5mm thick, it'll feel supple as soon as you open it up. These were my favorite leather straps from a previous "Shop," so I've worked to bring them back.
Over time, the calfskin takes on a subtle patina and slight sheen.
Note: Samples pictured here, the final version will have the "Unpolished" wordmark stamped on the back of the strap.
