santos strap

Just ordered the 2018 large Santos with quick change strap.  How do these straps compare?

Is there any scope for changing them or are you just stuck with buying a genuine  one?

Came in here to ask a similar question

Looking at a piece with a leather rep strap - Just worried I’d be stung with a £600+ cost for a SS or leather replacement

Really would put me off purchasing this piece if I can never get a replacement strap...

they are pretty good to be honest, some will even take a gen strap like the BVF,

The Santos has a unique lug end like no other,  just like APs have their own  type lug end. I would thing the very talented TanGo could make one if you send her your rep strap  as a donor for her to use for the new strap.

A number of years ago there was a leather Smith, Henry Tan in HK that made beautiful Santos  straps by using  the rep lug ends. I also believe Jon Bond of Bond Tailored Straps made them too.

Worth a try to reach out to TanGo or Jon.

Good luck
