Manchester - RIOS1931

Stunning vintage look of the Manchester strap is achieved thanks to the use of special oils and waxes. The edges are sanded and painted by hand. Elegant and strong cream-white stitching runs along the entire length of the strap. A functional seam on the buckle adds security and the loop is hand-stitched with an X-stitch.

Each strap is unique and the patina of vintage leather can vary greatly.

The Manchester strap is delivered WITHOUT BUCKLE. Buckle is sold separately - you can find alternatives from here. Buckle shown in product image from here.

The Manchester strap is only compatible with buckles with widths of 22mm or 24mm. If you have any questions about choosing the correct buckle, please contact us.

The RIOS1931 Saddler's Seam - Stitch to stitch by hand
In contrast to machine sewing, the handstitched or saddler's seam uses only a single thread, which is drawn manually from one side to the other with two needles alternately. This creates a particularly even stitch pattern. It takes approximately 40 minutes to produce such a seam, which gives a watch strap a longer service life compared to machine stitching. An exact hand seam requires all the skill of a master leather artisan and thus represents a piece of the finest craftsmanship.
