Just received my new toshi strap!

Hi

Just wanted to share this little incoming for my 233.
Color is storm grey with light stitching.



I am really impressed by the quality of the strap!
The leather is very flexible and robust at the same time, I love it.

I want to get another one already.

That's the one I started with for my 233, I have 4 from Toshi now :)

Recently got two from Gunny which are great too, need to take some photos of those ones.

Looks great!!

I agree, Toshi straps are soft and supple as well as tough and durable. Great choice at the price point.

4! Which color did you chose?
I also have one from Gunny on its way.

Edit: Nevermind I just found a post where you show them, really nice!
The double keeper looks good, didn't know that option was available.

It is indeed a superb combo!!!

I think my next order will probably be a dark brown strap with green stitching, but the heritage looks so good I am still hesitating.

I've got the same strap on my 233. It's definitely one of my more comfortable leather straps and it gets better with age. I also picked up the storm blue strap from Rich as well. It's a really cool slate grey/blue color in person and looks great on a 233. I would say it is a smidge below the storm grey in comfort though.

Is the leather different in terms of softness/flexibility? It looks pretty similar apart the color.

The leathers are a bit different. Storm Grey is definitely softer and has a bit more of a cracked look to it. Storm Blue isn't as soft or as flexible as Storm Grey which is why I think it is just a touch behind the Grey with regards to comfort.

I dont want you to think the Blue is stiff because it isn't. It's just not a supple as the Grey

I was really surprised as how supple the storm grey was, when I first touched it.
You do not expect it from seeing pictures only.

Heritage is really soft, supple and thicker than storm grey, really comfortable.
