Shell Cordovan Deployant Straps

[0xBA1EE7ED]

I am looking to switch my GMT over to a leather strap due to a nickel allergy flaring up from the content within the bracelet.

Ultimately, I'd like to get a strap made out of Shell Cordovan that works with the OEM deployant clasp, the clasp itself doesn't cause any issue for me, only the bracelet.

I have been looking around for strap manufacturers who can make one out of Horween Color 8 Shell, but none of the ones I have found offer a deployant option.
I did contact Ted Su and they will do a Shell Deployant strap but they don't use Horween and therefore don't have access to Color 8.


Does anyone know of anywhere I could look to get one made?

Combat-straps.com. Also known as Aaron Bespoke. He offers many different leathers and several different deployant clasps, all customizable to you.

I have purchased several straps from him and all have turned out terrific and have held up to regular wear.

He’s in Montreal but can ship anywhere. H works mainly through WhatsApp, which took getting used to, but isn’t a red flag.

ABP Concept has a shell cordovan leather in multiple colors in custom.

Ashlandleather.com make shell cordovan watch straps.

They could probably fit it with a deployant clap if you supply same.

I have sent Aaron a message, thank you for that recommendation!

Yeah, Ashland and Guarded Goods were on my list, wasn't sure if they would (or could) do deployants, figured I'd get some other solid options first.

Thank you!
