    This one's for all of you who requested a Redux two piece strap!

    The SL2 two piece strap is a Redux exclusive design executed with American leather and handcrafted right here in New York City and equipped with our original titanium hardware.

    This Wickett & Craig leather is traditionally used for saddles, holsters and sheaths. Skirting leather is painstakingly tanned and drum dyed by hand. These hides boasts a subtle waxy finish from the special treatment.

    COURG crew voted, we listened. 

    First, TL;DR Features, full notes below (photos for description and not final).

    1. Strap Construction: Lined
    2. Edge: Sealed
    3. Stitch: Minimal Hand-tied Knot
    4. Tail Tag: RDX Symbol
    5. Tail End: Angle Cut

    1. We'll add a second layer of leather to line the strap. Whereas many straps use a cheaper leather for stiffening in the second  layer, we insisted on using top quality leather for the inner second layer. We think this added expense is worthwhile because it's not just how the strap looks, but how it feels against your skin. I was skeptical at first, because I've been happy with the original raw straps. But when our strap maker said, "That's how I would want my watch strap to be made" -- How could I argue? 

    2. We'll seal the edge (but not with edge paint -- with a proprietary sealant protocol). In test installations of the edge painted straps, I found it to be bulky and difficult to use. Instead of paint, our strap maker seals the edge with a natural wax formulation to ensure durability and preserve the internal leather grain. Once the wax is applied, the strap maker burnishes the edge with a leather working tool that applies heat and pressure to protect your investment in superior quality American leather. 

    3. Our strap maker will hand stitch the straps with waxed thread with minimal double knots. The vast majority of you voted for the minimal stitch, which is the one I was leaning towards myself.

    4. We're going to fly solo with the Redux & Co. symbol stamped into the tail. In our original production of leather straps, we included additional logo from a production partner and found that many of you would have preferred we left it off. So, that's what we're going to do.

    5. We'll finish the tail end with a half hex to complement the gear shape and titanium hardware DNA.

    **Please note the buckle we've used was just for the prototypes because we ran out of the buckle type we designed for leather straps:

    Great quality

    No need to go anywhere else for straps. I just wish they weren’t sold out of the other straps.

    Pitch Black Two piece Syrap 20mm

    Here is my honest opinion regarding this watch strap. As a watch fanatic I have owned many watches, ranging in value from $400-6k, and enjoy collecting and wraring them.
    This strap was a total and complete let down. On your web sight it goes into great detail regarding the leather, craftsmanship, and overall quality.
    However, NONE of this is present. The leather feels cheap, plastic like in feel and appearance, and I have never seen a tongue move so freely in all directions, making it feel flimsy and weak.
    I paid, if I recall $80.00 for a $20.00 strap, and will ultimately go back to a NATO strap.
    Please do yourself a favor and pass on any of these leather straps as compared to similarly priced leather bands they fall extremely short.
    In conclusion, love the watch, however the strap truly was a complete and utter failure. Even the hardware feels like plastic, as I thought that it would be titanium, however appears to be very cheap titanium, or plastic.

    Automated order system is not helpful

    My order was flagged for some reason as being a suspicious transaction. I was sent an email that my order was on hold until I replied to them to sort it out. I replied to the supplied email and never got a reply back. After a few days my order was cancelled and after this I got another email asking me to rate their support email service. I rated that at 1 star because they asked me how they had done and all the system did was ask me to send an email which I did and then nothing else ever happened. Now after all this time I get another email asking me to rate the product. I don't think that any people read any of the system messages, its all automated and when something goes wrong nobody is checking things. TLDR I never even got the product, the system cancelled my order before it ever shipped.
