Hey there,

Anyone know where I can find a nice leather strap in a shorter length? Seen a few around but nothing that excites me. I like the Jumbo type thing, 22/22 in tan or light brown, preferably matt and vintage looking...

Not asking for much eh? Oh and it has to be cheap too so a custom job is probably out of the question right now.

Cheers, Nuph

Here is a quick size guide...

6.0" - 6.5" = 120/75
 
6.6" - 7.0" = 125/75
 
7.1" - 7.5" = 130/80
 
7.6" - 8.0" = 135/80
 
8.0" - 8.5" = 140/85

Thanks guys... I had seen a similar size guide and I'm a 6.5" wrist so probably looking at 120/75.

I did look at Orb straps but they are still a bit out of my current price range - might have to rethink it!

Sometimes, a thicker strap and bigger buckle might just make a longer strap fit a smaller wrist.

Eg.
A 3 inch thick 120/75 strap might not fit a 6" wrist.
but a 5 inch thick 120/75 strap might fit a 6" wrist.


Cheers
Anders
