New Strap for 88

Just bought a new black buffalo calf strap for my 88. Very happy with how it looks.

The texture of the strap is pretty cool, it's almost half way between leather and suede, it's better than that sounds!

Anyway wanted to share.

Thanks for looking.

I have the same strap but for tang buckle. I think its a really cool strap and pictures don't do it justice because of the black color / lighting. Basically, its buffalo leather, and it has a light suede-like texture, quite soft and "warm" on the wrist. Its also a fraction thinker than the regular OEM calf straps which makes it look even nicer on the wrist.

Mine looks great on the 000 and 233... and its looks mighty fine on the 88 too! Congrats!
