Leather Three Ring Zulus

Post by Chocodove » Thu Aug 01, 2019 8:41 am

Any recommendations on leather three ring Zulus? Crown & Buckle seems to have some nice ones, but I need brushed hardware and they appear to only have PVD for most. Also would prefer something a bit shorter (if they exist). Not interested in leather NATOs.

The few that I have been sent as samples have been shit. The leather is more of some fake shit. If it was me I would go custom if you want a good one.

I liked your Kangaroo straps. My son said those are among his favorites.

Thanks Ed I like them also. I love the fact that they can made really thin but not stretch.

Agreed, the roo roo is very nice. Wish there was something similar in a three ring. Maybe I will have to go custom from somewhere.

Let me clarify this statement. I was commenting regarding sample straps I have been sent from manufactures in the strap business. This has no bearings on the C & B and their straps.

I bought a few from an Etsy leather vendor that are nice. They were finished leather, though I’d like to find some with rough topside finish that are comfortable. I’ll look up the vendor. Last I checked he had put his trade on hold.

I have this 22mm one from GasGasBones. Very soft horween leather. This one is sized fora 6.5 inch wrist. Any interest? Been trying to sell it. Bronzed hardware. I think he just flamed stainless steel.

I bought this model from Foxtrotsupplyco. Looks like he still has his shop closed.

This WatchGecko model is also nice, but it's two layers. Take a look at what the leather workers on Etsy have to offer. Lots of options. Image

Damn, that’s nice.

I’d love one for my Benrus watches.
