strap fitting

Am I the only one who always lies exactly between two holes with straps? One is too loose, the next too tight and the space in between too narrow to add a hole.

Naa I feel ya. I usually just wear them loose. Depending on the day I may make it tight (or loose) around midday/evening.

Nope, it's pretty much compulsory on all my blummin' straps !! 🤣

Try a Milanese mesh (infinitely adjustable) or Velcro (hook and loop) or one of CWC's elastic NATO's (far more comfortable than MN straps due to the hardware, and much cheaper too).

I'm currently looking at Formex deployant clasps too as they have micro adjustments.

👍🏻

Happens to me constantly.

Someone should make a deployant t-fit clasp

·

This is why I prefer bracelets - because of finely adjustable clasps. But silicone straps are fine too. They compensate loose fit with their flexibility

If every strap fit perfectly we'd miss the hunt for that goldilocks strap 😂 wouldn't want to lose the excitement of finding a strap that fits perfectly

doesn't work if the place between two holes is too narrow. Which is always the case!

·

This is exactly how I wear mine 🤣

Ahh yes, it's called the strapholm syndrome.

that´s hard to believe....you can get this punch sets for leather on Amazon for punching holes just as small as 0,5 mm and then 0.5 mm larger each time up to a 5 mm hole..... always works for me

ok, maybe I should give it a try. But the pin from the buckle should also fit in the punched hole ;-)

@tenacitas i think english is better understood here

·

Yes, I'm with you! I was thinking to post about it 😃 It's always either a bit too tight or a bit too loose.

I think it's a conspiracy from the strap makers, so you always end up buying a new one hoping that it will fit perfectly.

·

Pro tip: try a different buckle

·

Oh my gosh! Yes this is me!!!!!! It’s SO ANNOYING 😂

Could also go perlon, can't get finer adjustments

Today the „tools“ that @Elcaballero recommended, arrived. Works great. You just shouldn't do it late at night when your brain is already a little bit f… up 🫠. Had the wrong position at first..now I have two additional holes🤦🏼. Anyway, it fits now.
