All of this greater than thou BS about “that isn’t hand made”. Then I hope you makers (if you are makers) aren’t doing anything with leather that was processed in a tannery using “machinery”. Or, using any metal hardware that was forged or manufactured using “machinery”. And for sure don’t use a leather sewing machine because it’s “machinery”. Very nice work @Two Stitch Straps - and 100% legit to call it “handmade”. Not that you needed my confirmation. 🤣
Thank you for your comment, pretty well explained. :) We take great pride in our craftsmanship and attention to detail, and your feedback is much appreciated.
can i know the thickness for both the green leather and the brown one and the type of leather you use thanks a lot no to tell that this a great work keep going and just remember the better is yet to come
The total thickness of the strap is 2.8mm. The leathers used are generally around 1.5mm, but we split them to suitable thicknesses. Glad to hear that you enjoyed watching our work!
Sure, you're most welcome! :) It's a pretty specific tool and I believe there's only one more manufacturer making it (Oesch), so not easy to find it. @@flightschoolcustomfootwear
Yep, it's pricey and you need to be careful with it, a lot of tiny parts that could break if not used properly. There's no better alternatives though.@@flightschoolcustomfootwear
Hey you! Congrats for your great work!!! Is it possible to tell me what kind of material (except color) is that you use for edge finishing? Thank you at advance!
Thank you for watching the video and for your comment. We are not producing straps as a hobby, but as a serious manufacturer, and the goal is to make a wide range of straps with highest precision and attention to detail. That and the flexibility are the reasons why we use the laser. We also have the cutting presses, and the tools to punch the stitching holes by hand, but the results are inferior. As you can see, all of the important details, that cannot be done so nicely with a machine (edge painting, making of the keepers, precise thinning of the leather, stitching, etc.) are completely done by hand. Combining a modern technology with a manual work of highly skilled craftsmen allows us to get the best possible product in a scalable way.

@@twostitchstrapsgreat explanation!! I appreciate this perspective because doing everything by hand, makes it difficult to scale unless you are charging an arm and a leg. Lol! What kind of leathers are you using for the uppers and lining? And if you don't mind, where do you source your leathers?
Yep, that's true. We also produce straps for watch brands, still with the same level of craftsmanship, but streamlining the process is definitely very important, especially when you make bigger series of straps. We almost exclusively use vegetable tanned calf leather. (there is a few exceptions). Most of it comes directly from the tanneries in Italy.@@flightschoolcustomfootwear

Thank you Ioannis! Glad to hear that you enjoyed the video and our work.
Beautiful job. It’s more hand assembled. laser cut and machine sanded. 😂
Very nice. Only additional thing would be adding liner to your keepers.

Hello, good evening, what is the name of the tool used to make the hole in the leather where the quick pin goes? Very good video
Hello, thank you! The tool is Bergeon 31227
Great work, how much time do you spend on it ?
Thank you! Depends on a strap model, but the average is probably around 2 hours per strap.

@@twostitchstraps and it's not cheap either! Hahaa but it is definitely a must if you're making watch straps by hand!

Hey you! Congrats for your great work!!! Is it possible to tell me what kind of material (except color) is that you use for edge finishing? Thank you at advance!

Handmade? You use a laser to cut everything out AND "punch" the stitch holes.

The strap is amazing! I like it really. 💙✔️ But this is not handmade. You need to come in Serbia to see what is handmade. Without lasers etc.
Hvala ;) Glad you like it.
