MDK 0 Posted March 1, 2017 I have managed to acquire some leather from Aston Martin, I am quite looking forward to putting together a couple fo straps from this. The perforated will look fantastic on my Speedy and I will soon add them to my offerings as a very limited supply only. I can dye them to just about any colour required because they are so light at the moment. . Have a quick look, this leather is of the highest quality and has the most fantastic smell to it.

blueradish 130 Posted March 1, 2017 Fantastic. I managed to grab some OEM BMW leather. The luxury car leather makes great straps and as you've mentioned since the yield is low makes the straps nice and exclusive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tonyh7 248 Posted March 2, 2017 I visited the Aston Martin factory a while back. The upholstery shop was pretty impressive there. If you want they will match any fabric or colour you bring them. For a price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Their leather is very special, I have worked with the Leather supplier on a couple of Projects (In my real job), the hide acceptance criteria is nuts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MDK 0 Posted March 2, 2017 Ohhhhhh you'll need to reserve me enough of that for a strap mate After all my username is Aston The perforated would look great on an AP, I will only be making Five straps from each piece I have very little of the leather. Three are spoken for only two perforated left, I have not even added them to my site or here as a offering yet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm going to see if I can get some of that leather too... then I'll buy another Navitimer in "Black face"... thanks for the idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
