Vintage leather watch band?

Hey team. I just ordered at Hamilton Khaki Field Auto in 42mm. I wanted to swap out the band for a vintage style leather one. What brand or website do you guys recommend for this?

Colareb makes great vintage straps, you should check 'em out.
I bought an ostrich strap from them and it's great quality.

The ColaReb Siena in brown looks promising. I'll probably go with that.

Any other brand/site suggestions?

Bulang and Sons or Jankoxxx here on the forum. I have several from both and both are exceptional straps. Bulang may get the edge for the vintage look.

Bulang and son are super nice. But if you want vintage, Micah is the best: http://www.vintagerstraps.com/
