Product description

In the age of polyester and nylon, it's refreshing to have some leather and steel items in your hands. This is a very traditional leather general purpose strap, made extremely well in a time when consumerism wasn't fashionable and things were made to last.

Length at least 60 cm / 24", width about 1.5 cm / 0.6" (varies a bit). Two models available: with one or two buckles. We get these randomly but throw them into separate piles upon arrival.

Use a revolver punch pliers to make additional holes if necessary.

Genuine army surplus

Unissued, but have been thrown around warehouses for a long time - there might be stains and dust on the leather, some corrosion on the metal parts. Nothing serious though, these are very serviceable and will work well after a treatment with leather oil or grease. Get yours while stocks last, these are rare treasures (really)!

Purchased to use as a strap for a Pathfinder brand clone of the Swedish Mess kit. Works well. Very high quality leather and construction. I'll probably cut off the extra buckle since it's not required for my purposes.

I got two of these straps and have no complaints - sturdy and proper straps! Perfect for holding a sleeping mat or tent or such. I did treat mine with leather oil first thing - and they did absorb quite a lot and pretty much feel and look like new after - recommend! used this: https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/ekol-leather-oil-0-25l/8573

Just got 4 of them for my Norwegian Telemark backpack and not only (this beautiful rucksuck was one of my very first purchase from this site several month ago). So to say, fifty/fifty: 2 with one buckle (1B) and 2 with two buckles (2B). All are in a good shape. 1B is a little bit longer, roughly at 9 cm, but I like 2B straps more - they are very versatile and have a thoughtful system of this buckles and holes to hold everything. It`s likely you don`t need to puncture additional holes at all. Straps are narrow and this is an advantage to fit almost every oldschool backpack`s loops. Leather is good, but after long storage it`s better to moisten/oil it appropriate before use. So, thanks again, Varusteleka! I compiled another good set of gear :-)
