Built From the Best.

A watch strap gets more contact with your skin than almost anything you own. It should be made like it matters. We hand-select leather from tanneries trusted by the world's finest luxury houses — Horween in Chicago, and heritage tanneries across Italy and France. Then we cut, stitch, and finish each strap by hand in our Utah workshop. The stitching, the edges, the feel. Every detail is deliberate, because the watch on your wrist deserves nothing less.

– James, Founder

Customer photo review of Build Your Own Potomac Leather Watch Strap

I’ve been watch enthusiast for over 35 years and I have purchased many straps. This must be my absolute favorite. It is perfect in every way. I am preparing to order another one.

Store owner replied: Hello! So sorry to hear you're not happy. We sent you a message earlier to see how we can resolve this. Please let us know. We are happy to help you in whatever way we can.

I love my new leather strap, it looks and feels great on my wrist. Threaded is an awesome company! I'm recommending them to all my friends and family. Revive your old watch with a fresh new look. Leather or nylon, you can't go wrong!

Customer photo review of Horween Natural Dublin Leather Watch Strap, Natural Thread

The Threaded Leather Straps feel nice and smooth, heck they even smell nice. Unfortunately the watch strap falls apart and comes loose due to only one band holding everything together. The thin strap also is prone to becoming too loose in every way…from the holes in the strap to the tail, it is too weak and thin. It also needs two bands, not one.

Store owner replied: Hi Cesar! Thanks for the review. It looks like your strap is actually too long. We'll reach out to you and get this resolved.

Customer photo review of Build Your Own Potomac Leather Watch Strap

Being able to pick the exact leather, thread, edge, and buckle color you want is incredible. The materials are high quality and the craftsmanship is apparent. I especially like the stamped logo detail on the buckle. I wanted a leather strap to dress up my field watch, and the simplicity of the Potomac was perfect. Threaded also has great customer support if you need it!

The Vaer S5 is a slim, 42mm watch. It needed a slim flat strap. This fit the bill. Amazing burgundy color compliments the black PVD stainless very well. The leather is supple, looks great, and feels great on the wrist. Made in the USA, how can you go wrong!

Customer photo review of Horween Brown Nut Dublin | Black Thread

Love everything about it. Leather is the perfect thickness, not thick and clunky looking, but not thin and fragile. Color is very classy and has a natural depth to it. Very impressed and happy with my purchase.

Customer photo review of Horween Natural Dublin | Natural Thread

The leather strap is comfortable and fits well, but I expected it to be a bit thicker. It feels somewhat flimsy, and I’m not sure how long it will hold up under regular use. That said, the strap looks good on the watch and breaks in nicely. Customer service is excellent. They’re fast, responsive, and helpful. Overall: comfortable and visually appealing, but could use more durable construction.

I have a 7.5 wrist and the length is perfect. 115/75 way too short. Leather is smooth and high quality. Thin works great on my Hamilton 38 mechanical.

Solid, full leather. We'll see how it wears, however, I would have like the edge to be more finished.

Store owner replied: Hello! Thanks for the review. Regarding the edging, we do have the option of doing edging for an additional cost. On the Build Your Own section, you should be able to select that option.

This is my 3rd strap. I love all of them. Great quality! It would be nice to be able to see order status on the website.

This strap is my second purchase from Threaded and it continues to impress. The leather is high quality and very soft - making the wearability very high. Very highly recommended!

Strap was much thinner than expected. Doesn't seem like it would last long if worn every day. Return started.

Build Your Own

Store owner replied: Hi Terry! So sorry you're not happy with our straps. It's totally understandable that you're nervous about the thinness of our straps. Assuming the strap is taken care of, it should last without any issues. The only time we see issues (excluding a manufacturing issue) are if it gets soaking wet (i.e.: showered with it on, played in the pool). However, if you do want a thicker strap, we have that option as well. We'll work with you to come to the best solution.

Just love the new strap. My Dad recently passed away and I wanted to wear his watch but didn’t like the strap. Changing it has made it so special. Thank you x
