Aizome Blue Crocodile leather watch strap

Aizome, which translates to "indigo dyeing" in Japanese, is a traditional textile dyeing technique that uses natural indigo dye extracted from the leaves of the indigo plant. It's a process where fabric is repeatedly dipped into a dye vat, with the color deepening with each immersion. The resulting fabric is known for its deep, beautiful blue color and unique texture. It is used to give the highest quality colour possible in jeans. 

This process has been used for this Crocodile leather to add japanese traditional skills to this interesting leather. 

As with every strap I make, each one is individually handcrafted by me from start to finish, ensuring quality and consistency throughout the entire crafting process.

Details:
The strap shown in the picture is 20mm at the lug, tapering to 16mm at the buckle, and is in the standard size of 115mm/75mm.
The stitching is done by hand using a matching waxed linen thread.
I use Zermatt leather for the lining, which is sweat-resistant (great for summer) and hypoallergenic.
The edges are smoothed, coloured, and finished with beeswax, which is used to burnish the edges for a smooth, silky finish.

Straps will be tapered as standard to fit the following buckle sizes:

• 24mm lug width to 22mm buckle

• 22mm lug width to 20mm buckle
