Cooroy v2 One Piece Leather with White Stitching

Cooroy v2 – updated April 2024
Take one piece of top grain fat wrinkled top grain leather. Shape, glue, fold it and wax stitch along each edge. Simplicity is often the best.
Unburnished edge. Side /edge has a raw finish.
Vintage style, similar to the original ‘Cooroy’ strap but is slightly more finished in appearance.
Thick top grain leather. Will soften more each time you wear.
Stainless brushed buckle.
Strap is dark brown and may be darker than what appears in images.
V2 and v3 are very similar in appearance. On some batches the leather differs slightly in appearance.

—Notes from Rob  Shop manager—

You could dye the stitching brown to match the leather or any colour if you wanted to.
Tip: use a toothpick or cotton swab that won’t drip dye and touch/dab stiching only. Dye will soak up into the stitching quite quickly.

Note about adding a clasp: you can use this strap with a clasp but realise that the leather is top grain thick. Threading through the clasp fitment clip to attach prong to your size adjustment hole will be a tight fit. You only have to do this once however when finding your size.

I have fitted clasps to all of the Cooroy straps on most of my large watches, Breitling navi for example and with a little patience you can too.
The majority of clasps accept strap thickness up to 3.5mm. The thickness of the Cooroy leather is 3.8mm’s (approx). 1.8mm (doubled) wrapped at lug and add glue in between = 3.8mm’s thickness approximately.
Again. it’s a tight fit for a clasp but achievable.  Good luck and hope you enjoy as much as I do.
