MDK 0 Posted February 12, 2017 All, I am having a dilemma about what colours to buy in for strap linings, at the moment I am seeing the lining a bit like a suit lining it should be bright and loud. I can't help feeling while black is the staple and it works for just about everything, it is a little boring. So what better way to find out than ask the community what they would like to see. Certain colour combinations will never work, I just want to get a feel for the colours people would like to see Please vote and whatever is the winner I will order in. Options Black Green Orange Sage Tan Deep Purple Khaki Navy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GenTLe 1,523 Posted February 12, 2017 Well, in my view it depends from the strap colour. The tan or even a browner orange should suit fine with black straps, the navy with blue ones, etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tomtom1988 94 Posted February 12, 2017 Depends on the watch but with these lovely customs straps I can't help but think it should be loud, navy or orange etc! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MDK 0 Posted February 12, 2017 Depends on the watch but with these lovely customs straps I can't help but think it should be loud, navy or orange etc! I agree, the watch plays a part and matching highlights can be important, but I am coming around to loud as well. I have some suits with very loud linings and i love them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sgtguk 0 Posted February 12, 2017 Current strap lining I've ordered is red for a black strap I agree like a suit the lining can be as loud as you like ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sogeha 6 Posted February 12, 2017 I like the idea of a loud lining. As with suits it shouts bespoke. I think it depends on the strap and the watch. If the watch had a tiny amount of a bright colour, say one line of text or hour markers, it would be cool to repeat it on the strap lining. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cleebeauregard 2 Posted February 12, 2017 Santoni made the orange lining into an immediately recognizable trademark-- both for their shoes and their straps. Hard to argue with Italian design excellence. Orange lining for the darker colored straps; tan for lighter colors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nofitstate 28 Posted February 12, 2017 Green and orange for me. A flash of a cheeky bright colour under the strap would look great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlueDog 0 Posted February 12, 2017 Lots of sharp colors. Black is a go to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MDK 0 Posted February 12, 2017 I will order in some orange to see how it sells if successful I will order in the next two popular colours. Santoni made the orange lining into an immediately recognizable trademark-- both for their shoes and their straps. Hard to argue with Italian design excellence. Orange lining for the darker colored straps; tan for lighter colors. Well that's awkward, it's exactly the thought I had about using loud linings, something to differentiate my work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rusty peters 0 Posted February 13, 2017 Orange for sure. I have lots of blue dial watches and orange is a perfect complement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theduke.williams 1,108 Posted February 13, 2017 Voted. My vote goes to Orange and Green. I quite agree that the lining should give a contrast to the strap and stitching colours. Personal choice really, as it's unlikely anyone is going to see the lining showing through when the watch is being worn. BTW Kerr, Congrats on reaching Trusted Status - you deserve it.

McJules 396 Posted February 13, 2017 Go with something that can match every colour you make. Go loud on special request I'm using a tan/orange (like santoni a bit) for all my straps now or some lighter tan and dark brown, depending on the leather on top. They age well and have that classy feel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FL13 511 Posted April 12, 2017 I love colorful backing. Gives a hint of color without being too in-your-face. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
