This strap also makes a great alternative to a leather strap, as it has been superbly finished with a "rembord" edge, making it clean and seamless for a fresh traditional style. It is available in four lug widths and is 4.3mm thick at the lug ends and reduces to 3.2mm at the buckle end. It has a more pronounced taper than the standard ZULUDIVER sailcloth and features a less aggressive buckle. You can choose between subtly contrasting off-white or grey stitching.
