They also have a sweet nato in omega style material with a colored edge also. To kick it off the material is suppose to only 1.1mm thick, which is great, because most of them are 1.5mm thick.

Not my favorite pattern, but the hardware looks great.

So did I. If they suck I'll just steal the hardware for a custom leather NATO.

Brice, that's what I'm contemplating on doing also. Purchase the strap and recycle the hardware.
It's a beautiful world! Gerald.

This strap looks so nice. Love the weave in that. Can you post pics of other angles/underside

I like the straps, but I've grown to hate the sewn in logo. It seems to slide out underneath the watch and I have to poke it back in. I might have to buy some seatbelt straps.

I've got two polished and two satin seatbelt natos on the way. I should have paid for the expedite.

I need another Shogun too. Maybe.

Is the "satin" hardware a light bead blast or a brushed?

As for the logo; I'd cut it out and burn the edge to prevent fraying.

They have ever thing engraved with Nato or Zulu. For me to be their US "guy" I had to purchase them with that branding. They wouldn't hook me up with them without their labels. :crybaby:
