Hand Sewn Leather Watch Strap Tutorial (Follow Along!)
In this leather craft tutorial we walk you step-by-step through making your own fully sewn leather watch strap. We size the band to the watch, line the band with soft vachetta, and saddle stitch everything together sharing tips and tricks along the way. So many of you made your own simple stitchless watch band with our last tutorial we had to get a little fancier! Happy Crafting :)

Thank you for this video, I’ve got my late grandfather’s old watch which has a broken strap, it’s a cheap standard watch and nothing fancy, but I’d like to wear it myself as he left it as my inheritance. By making the watch strap myself, hopefully he’ll approve, being a very resourceful and handy man himself. Remember, tell your near and dear that you love them, tomorrow may be too late!
Making my first strap tonight. Thanks for this. You are a master craftsman.
My kids paid about $375 for the watch I have now and it’s the most expensive watch I’ve ever had! I love it! Made a Shell Cordovan band for it! I love it!
😍
That band on a Hamilton khaki would look so nice. Great video!
Your design is excellent. Wonderful craftsmanship . Thank you for sharing .
"Thanks for watching.." Nice video!
This was a great video! I made my first watch strap about 6 months ago and it was very similar! Thank you for what you do!!
This is the EXACT video I need right at this moment! As I write this I am wearing the one I made with your simple style band but have been mulling stepping it up a notch. You're timing is right on. Thanks!
VERY GREAT JOB. YOUR WORK IS TRULY INCREDIBLE. KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT WORK 👏👏👏❤️
I tried to make a watch band for the first time! I want to attach it to my favorite watch 😊
I'm still a beginner so I am wondering what oz leather you use for this. So many creators make these videos without mentioning what weight or oz leather they are using.
I think it’s 2-3 Oz and inside piece he mentions 1 1/2 oz
Great tutorial. Made it easy for me too. Thanks
Beautiful! I’d love to see a NATO strap in leather. Thanks for your hard work!
but NATO and Leather is just 2 different spectrum, NATO straps were used because they’re waterproof and simple, contrary to leather that needs more caring and not suitable for hard environment, contrary to what a NATO strap is for
Cannot WAIT to make one!
Of course you make this look so easy! Thanks again for a wonderful video!
What a fantastic result. Thanks for taking the time to show us such an interesting process. I'm a watch nerd and making my own straps is one of my dreams. New sub!
Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful. Enjoyed watching your leathercrafting skills used on your channel.
Great video and awesome craftsmanship! Just a suggestion, always change straps at the back of the lugs so you don't scratch the front.
Omg I am heading to Michael's to get supplies. I love the video
Nice work, and does suit the Glycine better than the metal band
I could not find on this video, or your other watch strap videos, what weight of leather you were using or recommend. Any recommendations on leather weights?
Fantastic tutorial, I will be trying this out very soon! Appreciate the time you put into making and sharing this video 🤙
so much talent!
Loved watching it! Thx
Looks fantastic! What thickness leather do you recommend for straps?
Thank you for the tutorial.
Love your work!
CW GMT watch? Great looking strap!
I grabbed a cheap leather bag from goodwill with a broken zipper to use as pre-vintaged leather for a set of straps.
why didn't I think of that???
Great video, strap looks really good, nice job.
Do you happen to have a link for that nylon strip with the sticky back. Coulnd't find it on Buckleguy and i think that may be perfect for solving a probelm i've been having
I recently made two bags with thin shoulder straps. I had the same question. I live in Germany and in my city we have a store for sewing supply, from fabric to buttons to machines. I got it there, patches of nylon with sticky back.
Yes I am wondering the same thing.
Yes, definitely would like to find this as well.
If you are not able to find it… perhaps you could recycle a very lightweight give-away backpack (the kind you are given by a company at a trade show) and make it double stick with the rubber cement glue… it’s what I plan on doing for the handles of a really nice purse I’ve got.
Everyone! I found a very similar item! (looked forever too) It's not the exact one, but it's worked on my bags. Rocky Mountain Leather supply (took them like 4 weeks to send, but whatever). Search for "tape".
PERFEITO ÓTIMO SERVIÇO 👍👍
The re-enforcement tape is a pain in the butt to find. However, I have found a good supplier, Made on Jupiter, with reasonable prices.
I have thoroughly enjoyed your strap making videos, sir. I've tried making some with an old belt. I also bought a piece of leather that is about 2.5 mm thick, and when I tried to put spring bars in and install into a watch, it seems the leather is way too thick. Am I missing something, or should I be getting thinner leather? When you use a liner, how thick is it? Thanks for any insight here. Keep up the great content!
Thank you!
It's not being lazy when you're being efficient. ;)
Being new to leather crafting I would like to know specifically what materials you used for this project. For instance what leather, what glue, what cording, what burnishing… Your link to the project shows every tool possible. It would be nice if you could be more specific.😎😎
Amazing
Very nice 👌
Looks like you're sporting the Helson Shark Diver today. Love the worn brown strap with the brass case.
Nice!
Thanks 👍
Very nice,
Buen trabajo muy bueno y fabuloso
What weight of leather was the wickett and Craig??!!! Help!
What is the nylon strip you are using? Where is it available? Thanks
I love ❤️
Still love your videos for the pure simplicity of the recording while also showing everything important in a great way (if that makes sense).
Ive made a few watch straps as well, some of them so nice, that im confidently saying this isn't far off from very professional watch strap makers, some not very well... Probably due to different types of leather that were not really well suited for watch straps.
Though what I've encountered almost all of the time (and can't get my head around it why that is), that the stitch line on the left is just a tiny bit shifted to the inside of the strap Than the left stitch line. Ive used the exakt same divider space and so on but can't get it to be perfectly even on both sides.
I love the video. Great instructional video. The constant creaking of leather (added in post i'm sure as there is no leather moving when the sound occurs) is distracting to the point that I had to turn off sound and turn on the subtitles only. Great video and saved for later projects!
What size is the prong punch for the stitching?
Sağol Usta 🙌 🍁✂️🧵
thank you for the leather craft review Greetings from MF Original Leather
🙏🤝
What size hole punch is recommended, 1.5mm or 2mm? When shopping buckles they don't mention what hole size is needed for the locking part. If I was to buy a hole punch tool, what size would be the best bet?
I’m moving out of Texas to Virginia soon and I really feel like I should accentuate that I’m from Texas by making a custom leather strap for my Iwatch LMAO
So this is gonna be a good tutorial for me!
Nice job, sir. Thanks for sharing. What is the final thickness of the strap?
Yeah, what’s the weight? Buckle boy page left us to choose ourselves.
Great looking strap and a true gmt bezel should be bi-directional.
What thickness of leather is needed to make it?
I'm new at this craft but very interested can you help me with any info that could help me get into the hobby of this kind pls
If you do design your own watch pattern, be sure to remind yourself to add or reduce length in the center of the pattern pieces so you don't have to remake the pattern for larger or smaller wrists.
That looks like a Christopher Ward C 60 Trident bronze on your wrist in the video. Is it ?
Almost caught a glimpse of Bruce Wayne
I need that knife you're using 😊
Buenas tardes desde Colombia......una pregunta en los cantos después de pintura lo que le aplica es cera de abejas?
Good job, congratulations. I have a question: Is it the same kind of leather the one on the inside than the one on the outside of the strap?
No, they are different
@@jimwatchyycThank you.
What is the best number or measurement of the thread used in sewing?
Love your work and videos! Can you tell me the brand of the nylon strips, is it Beldon? Thanks
Was that 11" x 20" x 6oz?
Which watch u r wearing sir
It’s a nice watch really….
What type of waxed thread & size used for swing 150d 1mm or thinner?
I know other people have said this before, but you really need a lavalier mic or something like that. Thanks for the video!
There is no “right way” to make a watch strap. Whatever works for you, I personally like a full stitched straight through width strap with one fixed keeper and one size hole, all made the fit perfectly.
What is the bronze diver? It looks amazing on that strap.
Looks like a Helson Shark in bronze.
Hello Sir... Pls I'm really interested in this.. I'm from Nigeria and looking forward to having my own watch strap brand. I'll like to order for tools for creating straps... And I'll like to grow under your mentorship sir!.
"flesh on flesh connection" 👍
謝謝～
Where can I get one of those brass knife handles?
I want to start makeing leather stuff so badly but i have searched weeks for place to buy leather but in my country there just isnt a place. I guess i need to found leather in amazon and pay 5X the price )=
I am trying to find the plastic in the movie. Wher can I buy it can you help me?
thought that watch was a yacht master for a second
👍🏼
👍👍👍
Master, where to get these leathers?😂
Name of the watch?? Pls tell early, i want to buy it.
Can you kindly use mm or cm for measurements please ?
You might find it much more comfortable to wear your watch a little higher on your wrist so the crown doesn't dig into the back of your hand when you bend it.
There is a Panerai out there with your name on it.
were can i buy beldon
👍👍
What's name of this watch ?
The camera focusing sound on this particular video is a bit overboard. What happened?
I've noticed this quite a bit in the last few videos - I think they got a new camera but it's very irritating!
👍👍 🇧🇷
Partial face reveal right there
I thought my phone was haunted at about 27 minutes in lol
You'll be hard pressed to find a bi Directional bezel that doesn't feel cheap just because there is no ratcheting action
Nice glycine.
Did you wipe that excess glue on your pants? 😁
Fajne ale za szybko mówi 👍
I see lol
I’ve just bought a basic leather working kit and it’s all your fault
Разгильдяйское исполнение «на коленке»😂
Do the prongs on your hole punching tools make leaning holes or are they straight only?
Looks fantastic! What thickness leather do you recommend for straps?
