Hi All,
I've recently purchased 2 Hirsch straps, One being an 18mm Golden Brown Lizard grain for my Omega Seamaster Deville KL6068 and a Duke Black Alligator strap 21mm for my Oris Artelier Moon Complication 2003. I have just purchased a 1978 Rolex 1500 from HqMilton from Jacek that I am debating purchasing a Bluang & Sons Rugged leather/ Suede honey brown or a concrete grey. Hirsch did not have the selection I was after for the "vintage" look. Not being opposed to a slightly higher price especially if the quality is better; I figured making a post and getting experiences from fellow TRF Members would be the best alternative. I immediately thought of using the search function for Best leather straps,or Bulang and sons as keywords but was surprised when no information showed up. If users have experience with either , preferably both I would greatly appreciate your input.
Thanks in advance!
Ross

Bulang and Sons make excellent straps. I have several and they are well made and fairly unique designs. Most of their straps are made by JPM who is a well known maker/designer going way back.

Hodinkee and bulangs and sons get or got their straps at some Italian dude. You can order from him directly.

I have it bookmarked but I can't come up with the name, it's somewhere online or someone here should know it.

Edit:

Got it, this is the guy https://www.jeanpaulmenicucci.com/

Edit: and the person above me already mentioned it

As a search tip, just use one word: bulang in this case. You’ll find lots of results.
