OT: My Favorite 24/24 Strap !!!

[nishant]

Hey guys,

Just wanted to share my favorite 24/24 strap with you .. Made out of British Tan leather by the loose cannon of the strap world .. Shane Delaurian. It actually takes a little bit of convincing to get him to make a "not-so-unusual" strap and he did agree to make me one for my now-departed 243 late last year. I, unfortunately, sold my 243 just after this one arrived and it has since waited to for an appropriate match. The wait ended tonight ...

I recently sold all my 24/24 straps and this is only one that survived. Quite Deservingly so IMHO.The texture on this strap is the very best I have ever laid my eyes one. The thickness is just right and the finishing on the edges and holes is something I have not seen before. The underside of the strap is lined by some fine leather as well [dont know which kind .. pics attached] and to make the strap unique in a Delaurian way, the keepers are integrated.

After strapping on this strap on the new-to-me Ennebi, I realized that I do really need one more of this in 26/26 for the 372 .. Have written to Shane and hope he agrees to make me one more [ maybe two more .. one to use and another for keeps ]

Hope you enjoy the pictures
Cheers
Nishant
