New shoes are on the way....

[WatchFan1]

just received an email from my goodole' friend Micah. The straps are on the way. I cant' wait !! :)

You will love his straps. I have an ammo bag strap that is great!

[WatchFan1]

I had a chance to play with Micah's straps at local PAM AD (our sponsor AvantGold).
Those straps are simply AMAZING !! I have never felt a nice thick strap that is so supple.

Okay, just how comfortable are these? They look stiff, being so thick.

I think it depends on which leather is used.
Some are listed as very pliable where others are listed as somewhat stiff, ect..
I'll let you know how mine feels once it gets here and I've had a chance to try it.

@ WatchFan1,
Have you tried any of these before now, or is this the first time?
The two you're getting look really sharp; can't wait to see them on watches.
What watches are you planning on wearing them on?

Dennis, I had a chance to play with the FULL LINE of Micah's straps when I
was visiting Avantgold. They were unbelievably soft to me - ALL of them.
I could not get over how a thick strap can be so pliable.
Even those that he lists on his site as 'somewhat stiff' seemed soft to me.
Those that he listed on his site as 'very pliable'...were supper soft.
The quality was top notch. (check your PM to URL link to his web site)

@Wolfdog.
I am planning to wear these on my Radiomir PAM98 and my Luminor-style homage watch.

Cool, can't wait to see some pics!
Thanks for the feedback.

[WatchFan1]

Plus....how can you NOT love this warranty ?.....(I love the part about dog eating it....LOL :D )
More pics later once it goes to my PAM98 later.

Sweet!

I did read the Lifetime Warranty information on his Site, an awesome warranty too but had no idea he included it in a document form with the strap/s.
Yeah, I like the part about the dog eating it too, that he'd replace it no questions asked [or as Micah puts it, unless it's an interesting story].
Gotta love that.
Those wide keepers he uses are a nice change too, as all the straps I've ever had or still have used thin, flimsy little keepers.

I also like his logo of an Octopus stamped on the strap back along with his seal.
Can't wait to see it on mine once it arrives!
Once he gets the knife I'd shipped him, in trade for my strap, he's going to ship me out one of his cool ball caps too.
I love a nice, low-profile ball cap and his are extra nice.
He has his Octopus logo fully embroidered onto the front panel, outlined in a grey thread, really a great looking hat IMO.

I actually prefer 2 thin keepers (1 sewn in) for more flexibility when adjusting.
Just to be adventurous - I ordered 1 strap with 1 thick keeper and the other
with 2 thin one (1 sewn in).

They both work fine, but I it appears that I will stick with 2 thin ones for the future ;)
