Add your canvas strap pics
Finally found a use for those canvas straps from the thread last year. Super cheap shipped from Chinese eBay sellers. I like the desert camo with the Hammy hand winder. Feel free to post any pics you have of your canvas straps. Or links to canvas straps you like. I think I bought mine from the seller below but there are plenty of sellers that have them listed. Surprising good for a crazy low price.

Those look great! Especially love the Damasko paired with that strap. Is this where you got them?

Re: Add your canvas strap pics
Another cheap one but I paid about 10 times the price for this one as my eBay Chinese specials. I definitely like it but I'm not sure its 10 times as good. This one is from a company called Marco Pallini. Once again I found it on eBay. I wish these were available in more colors.

Re: Add your canvas strap pics
I still have a hard time believing how good these straps are for the money. They are thicker than my Barton straps and don't need that break-in time to soften up. I've heard some good things about Helm canvas straps and may pic one up eventually. I would probably just stick with these but they are limited to only 4 colors and 2 of them are camo.
Re: Add your canvas strap pics
I've got one of those from Ali Express that was sub $3. Currently working with a wire brush to experiment with a touch of distressing. Just soaked it and went over it for a minute or so a side. More on the 6 o'clock side.yinzburgher wrote:I still have a hard time believing how good these straps are for the money.

Will probably order a black one.
Only two complaints are about the holes. Their widely spaced and I'm kind of between two holes. I also wonder it the grommets will eventually fall out.

Re: Add your canvas strap pics
Yea, I order a whole bunch of them from ebay back when they were a little over $1. They have far exceeded my expectations for the price. The holes work out fine for me although I'm pretty much always in favor of closer together. The grommets on the 2 straps that I wear were not perfect to begin with, yet they have managed hold up just fine. I didn't occur to me to mechanically distress mine but just the other day I was thinking of spraying one of the black ones with household bleach to see how it turns out. I'll post it here if I do that. I like that blue with the white dial btw.AndyS wrote: ↑Mon Aug 05, 2019 8:00 pmI've got one of those from Ali Express that was sub $3.

Re: Add your canvas strap pics
Thanks. It's got a blue second hand and some of the text, too.
Re: Add your canvas strap pics
I just checked, and these are ~$1.20 (depending on size and color) on Ali Express right now. $.61 shipping.

Re: Add your canvas strap pics
This will be my first Ali Express purchase. Getting 2 blue and a black.
I wish that watch were 38mm?
Re: Add your canvas strap pics
Post back in a month when they show up
Re: Add your canvas strap pics
I got the $2 new customer coupon so three straps for $2 and change is worth the wait.

Re: Add your canvas strap pics
Agreed. I have bought way too many straps from Ali Express. My win rate for quality stuff is relatively high. Some of the NATO's are top notch, and I love the stretch single pass NATOs that I bet are the same as the BluShark Pajama Straps.
I just write off the few that were junk and figure it all averages out.
