Coming Soon.... Alcantara!!! - Updated With Pics

Post by dshap » Mon Jan 31, 2011 9:35 am

I'm really excited about this guys- coming soon are Alcantara® straps in black from Indy Straps!

Alcantara is the material used on seats in cars such as Lamborghini, Porsche, Audi, and many others, and it is awesome stuff.

I'll do some testing, but I don't think it's a great idea to swim with it. It's definitely fine for daily use and rain/hand washing/etc.

This material is made for car seats, so it is very wear resistant and much more durable than necessary for a watch strap.

:thumbsup: Got that one covered, Jamie. It's on the tegimented 857 bracelet right now but I have a feeling it will see some rubber again soon. Figured why not add some leather to the mix too. :shrug: :mrgreen:
