Anyone have a Heroic18 canvas?

This looks great. On top of that its a 22mm that tapers to 20mm and the hole design is right to use the Hamilton buckle I have. Just curious if anyone had any thoughts on their straps.

Old photos and don't have the strap anymore. (no idea), but was a damn nice canvas and well made.

Their leather straps are well made, so I can only guess the canvas straps areas well.

That's a good looking canvas strap. I've never had a leather backed one, not sure how I'd like it (mine are all from Drew).

That's a big negative. I like my canvas straps to be all canvas, especially in Summer. The leather backing wouldn't be an issue in cool weather, though.

Makes sense. I think that was one of the original reasons for Drew making his own, wasn't it?

I think I read that somewhere...

The leather backing never bothered me because I wear leather straps in the summer anyways. Quality leather doesn't bother me. Cheap rubber, silicon or plastic on the other hand I can't wear no matter the time of year.

Yeah, the leather backing is a negative. I'm wearing a leather strap today and I sweat straight through them on 100 degree day like today. The canvas just looks so much classier than a NATO.

I have that exact strap. It's comfortable.

Looks a lot like the Helson canvas straps.

I have had their leather before and it was fairly nice, can't comment on their canvas, but based on their other straps, I'd bet fairly nice, as well

Don't take leather-backed canvas into water. The leather and canvas don't shrink at the same rate, and the result is a mess.

I've had several of their straps, although not that particular strap. Well made, quality straps at a decent price point. Micah's French canvas is a better strap, but it's almost twice the cost. My favorite all canvas straps are Drew's and Mustang Straps.

Maybe I need a Drew when he's taking more orders. I'm thinking dark grey with white stitch, though I really like the green too. Maybe both eventually.

I have a olive one I got free when buying another strap from them. Never tried it out.

22mm? Want to sell it?

I'll check when home from vacation Sunday. May be 24..

I'd be willing to consider any 22mm Drew canvas if it fits just shy of 7 inch wrist. Second dib.

I think, though could be wrong that Eric was speaking of a heroic.
