I made this sample for instagram customer.. If he reject it, i'll wear it my self or find it a good home in IWL.
What do you think guys? I call it 'antique blue'.. Its cracking surface is a homage to Tudor Black Bay leather strap..
(he just informed as i post it.. He like it!!! Hallelujah!!
)
Looks really cool. Is it actually cracked? If so, will that affect its life span?

it is so funny that i came from used/aged/weathered/distressed leather strap as my root in my early days.. spend so much time to make a more prestine looking strap and better stitches so i could be 'accepted'... now i have some prestine materials only to find out that people/my customers like my "distressed" style better..
(and i dont have distressed material!)
also... i'm at the confusing point to consider my self a pro or still amateur at the moment..

If it works out well, you'll have another whole product category that folks will be lining up for.
