As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.

I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

MoT Custom Nato Strap

Post by cortman »

I was recently made aware of this company, Bon Temps Bands (https://www.bontempsbands.com/). They do custom embroidery on NATO straps. It made me wonder if there was any interest in a MoT NATO strap? A regular seatbelt NATO with the MoT clock logo embroidered on it.
Bon Temps' pricing is high. Their list price is $80 for a seatbelt strap. In conversation with them they said they could do $60 each if they got an order of 10, and better discounts for more orders.
Here are some examples from their site.

That's still a ton of money for a NATO strap. I have some local connections that may be able to do it cheaper, but I thought I'd test the waters here to see if there was any interest.

I'm generally not a nato-style guy, but I would obviously make an exception for a project like this. ;)

Sorry, but to me that is a ridonkulous price for a Nato, embroidered or not. That’s 3 vintage pieces...

Probably out for this one. Can't justify a $60 NATO, but love the concept. I'd be interested if you can source locally at a cheaper price. Still holding out hope for the MoT/LWDS 62mas :)

How about a Cheapest Nato seatbelt and a little iron-on patch? :lol:
I wish that watch were 38mm?
