Icon7 New strap! Old and new worlds.

Ted Su's take on traditional English shoe making using English Bridle leather.

Very pleased with the look and feel of the leather, the solid build, the thinness on the buckle side and, more generally, the timeless feeling this strap gives.

Looks awesome, buddy. Congrats and enjoy !

Ted Su makes some serious straps. I wasn't sure if it's new to comment in the WRUW thread.

, guys. It's a great one that should only get better with age and patina. :-)

Very true about Ted Su. A few years ago I picked up a couple and thought they were good enough quality for the reasonable price paid. This new one here is in a different league - top quality feel and workmanship. I don't know if that's indicative of the whole line or just this model.

I will check him out...maybe again. I really enjoy owning true WWII leathers though for a PAM.

Actually, it was the positive feedback I've read on Ted Su's ammo line that lead to me checking them out again. The ammos do, in fact, look good, but this one suits me better.

I have had a lot of straps over the years and I have liked most. One problem I've had, though, is that they are generally either too think or too stiff. Does anyone have a recommendation for a 26/26 soft, but relatively thin strap? Thanks, Len
