    Default Restored Vintage Strap

    Here is a nice vintage Shell strap that I restored. The original cotton was pretty frayed and ugly, however it will still make a nice paste strap as it is high quality cotton so I have kept that, and will be putting that to use in the future. I replaced the cotton with a new kanayama linen strap from JimR, along with some new hardware from the same. I am reasonably sure that it is cordovan shell... but I dont really know how to be certain. Havent tried it out yet, but I am pretty excited!

    Width: 2.5"
    Length: 24"

    And now for the pics! Not the best... but they get the job done.. I guess

    Nice looking strop Matt!

    I just got done restoring an old Sears Craftsman strop which I'm really enjoying.
