“Vintage” Canvas strap question
So I ordered a “vintage” canvas strap on WUS and the dude made one for me. Came in today and really looked dirty and kinda creepy.
The worn look is fine. I expected it. But it looks honestly dirty. I shot him a PM asking if the material was cleaned before he made the strap.
He said it was part of the look and should be fine. Lol it’s kinda effing gross.
So what’s a good recommendation to clean the funk off the strap without ruining it?

Here’s the original listing. Mine is the single pass strap. He had to make a new one.

Re: “Vintage” Canvas strap question
Those look nothing like what's in the ad. To me it looks like he sent you a very used one instead.

Re: “Vintage” Canvas strap question
He said he MADE it fresh for me from the material he used for the other one. If I’m honest I didn’t even want to touch it to take those pics. I scooped it up with that envelope lol.
At closer pics that canvas material looks broken. This isn’t something I can just clean and use, is it?

Re: “Vintage” Canvas strap question
I just sent him those same pics and a refund request. I’m hesitant to ship it back because I don’t want him selling it to some other guy like me. Oh and I don’t want to touch it either.
I’ve washed my hands twice since I started this thread and Purell’d three times. Lol

I don't think it looks much/if any different from the ad. It's a turd, but I would've never sent the funds based on the ad's pics.

Good news. He’s working to fix the situation. I’m glad it wasn’t just me. That canvas strap was gross.

Re: “Vintage” Canvas strap question
I had one custom made by the same seller as well. Mine wasn't dirty or ratty, just faded and worn looking, which I liked. Decided to go with another on the watch I bought it for, so added a buckle and sold it here at a slight loss. Guess I was lucky, as I wouldn't accept the one in your pics either.

Re: “Vintage” Canvas strap question
Looks like it was made from one of those WW2 vintage surplus canvas tents my Boy Scout troop had back when I was a kid. Those things smelled awful.
I would hand wash it with a gentle soap as suggested above.

Looks like garbage sorry. I personally would not accept that dogs dinner of a strap. It looks like it went thru a lawn mower.
