Strap Review: Cross-Stitch by TwoStitchStraps
Hello Crunchers, today I am reviewing the Cross-stitch strap from @twostitchstraps who are very active here on the WC 🙌
TL;DR: This is a solid handmade Italian leather strap at around $70.
The strap sits well on the wrist. I primarily wear it in combination with the Unimatic U1 watch, which is a 41mm diver watch. Many straps cannot support this watch, but this is not the case with this Cross-Stitch strap.
Construction: The strap is made from the highest quality Italian calf leather (info from their website). The stitching is neat, and the edges are perfectly finished. The color is a rich, deep black.
Durability: I don't see any flaws in the construction that would be weak spots in long-term exploitation.
Price & value: This strap is priced at $70. I think it is a great value considering the leather used and the fact that it is hand-made to order.
The verdict: Stand in line, wait for a few weeks, and you’ll get a truly handcrafted leather strap that will age beautifully and wear comfortably.

Hey Nenad, thanks for giving us a review! I'm glad to see that you're enjoying our strap so much. How long ago did you get it? I can see that it has developed a nice patina. 😊 Too bad you have the old buckle; our new signature buckles are much nicer and of higher quality.
Ah yes, I saw you've introduced a new buckle. I don't mind the old one. It's low-profile and pretty comfy.
Btw, patina is subtle for one-year old strap. I just avoided wearing it when the temps are high (sweaty times 😎)
I’ve actually been looking at their website recently. Prices aren’t bad at all & the straps look fantastic.
