Clover Straps

[Patrik]

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 see at least 3 of my straps made the cut including these 2. To back up the first, here's my watch on the strap.



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!

Thanks for the recommendation, I appreciate it!

And I'm glad you are enjoying your Clover straps

[Whoa]

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

So Patrik, what is your favorite watch strap combo you ever made?

[Whoa]

Try me, I have a lot

Hehe yeah but the only one I have a leather strap for is my nighthawk :-D

a Hirsch
..
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?
