Thread: Clover Straps

  1. #1

    Clover Straps

    Hi guys!

    Some of you asked me to open a thread so here it is

    I'll introduce myself first

    I'm a self learned strap maker from Croatia and I started making straps because I didn't like those "standard" leather straps, mostly thin, filled with cardboard and what not.

    As time passed, I got better at making them and started making them for others, not just for myself.

    And a general idea was born, to provide quality straps at reasonable price and to offer a wide variety of leathers, colors, styles, stitching and other things.

    You can follow my work on my website - http://cloverstraps.com/ and on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/CloverStraps

    So here's my thread about my straps, I hope you'll enjoy it because this thread is worthless without pictures

    I can honestly say that Patrik's straps are the highest quality I've worn. This one in particular was my 5th strap from him and there's zero break-in time. They're comfortable from the first moment they hit your wrist. I can't recommend his work highly enough.

    Great post and thanks for all the pics, Patrik!

    I haven't bough any from you yet, but been very impressed by what I've seen so far! I just don't think I would have the imagination to tell you what to make for me :-D haha

    I'm not sure what else would be nice with a leather..

    Or if it should be for my only incoming..


    Not sure if that would work for the diver..

    Hmm...a very nice question, never thought about it

    I would say this one:




    These are also my favorites







    It's hard to decide, I could go like this forever

    From your collection I would say the Nighthawk or the SKX007.

    I'm making one for the Nighthawk right now, a black leather strap with red edges and small racing holes

    And the SKX takes a lot of styles, colors...for example(some pics show a 6309 but you get the picture):



















    It all depends what you would like, a brown strap, black, distressed, canvas...or something to match your shoes?
