Two-Stitch Racing Black Leather Watch Strap

Two-Stitch Racing Black Leather Watch Strap is handmade out of the highest quality Italian calf leather by true watch enthusiasts. Because of its versatile black color, this strap is a perfect fit for any vintage or vintage style chronograph watch. This racing strap draws inspiration from chronograph watches and straps from the '60s and '70s seen on the wrists of many racing legends.

Our intention was to create a robust and durable strap which only gets better with age. Only traditional manufacturing methods were used, along with natural tannins and wax. Each strap is unique and small variances may occur as a normal part of the handmade manufacturing process.

Please note: Our products are completely handmade in a time-consuming process. Each strap is made to order, so there is a lead time of 10 business days.

Size: 17/16mm; 18/16mm; 19/16mm; 20/18mm; 21/18mm; 22/20mm; 23/20mm; 24/20mm (lug/buckle)
Length: Regular 120/80mm; Medium 115/75mm; Short 110/70mm

10 years with you

Ten years of Two Stitch Straps. Hard to believe, isn't it?

It all started back in 2016 with a love for watches and a simple idea: to make the kind of leather straps we'd be proud to wear on our own watches.

A lot has happened since then. What began as a small project has grown into an established leathercraft workshop with a dedicated team of skilled craftspeople. We've explored new materials, developed new designs, attended watch fairs, and had the pleasure of working with some wonderful watch brands and enthusiasts around the world.

But at the heart of it, not much has changed.

Every strap is still crafted by hand, using carefully selected materials and paying attention to the little things. The stitching, the edges, the fit. All those details that make a good strap worth wearing.

Perhaps the best part of these ten years has been getting to know so many of you.

Some of our customers have been with us almost from the beginning. We've shared countless conversations about watches, received thousands of wrist shots, and made straps for everything from well-loved daily wearers to some truly special pieces.

Seeing our work become a small part of your watch collections still means a lot to us.

So, whether you've ordered one strap or twenty, recommended us to a friend, or simply followed our work over the years, thank you for being part of it.

Here's to ten years of making straps, sharing our love for watches, and many more to come!

Craftsmanship Guarantee

Every leather Two Stitch Straps product is handcrafted in our own workshop, where each piece is made to order by hand using carefully selected materials and traditional leatherworking techniques. We take pride in what leaves our workbench, and we stand behind the quality of our craftsmanship.

If you believe your product has developed a manufacturing defect due to materials or workmanship under normal use, please contact us at info@twostitchstraps.com.
Every claim is reviewed individually by our team, and where a manufacturing defect is confirmed, we will repair or replace the product at our discretion. Because leather is a natural material that evolves with time and wear, there is no fixed warranty period. Instead, each claim is assessed fairly, taking into account the age of the product, its condition, how it has been used, and the nature of the issue.

What is covered

Our Craftsmanship Guarantee covers manufacturing defects, including:

Stitching or construction failures caused by manufacturing
Bonding or edge finishing failures resulting from manufacturing
Defective hardware
Material defects that are not the result of normal use

What is not covered

Our Craftsmanship Guarantee does not cover:

Normal wear and tear, including creasing, patina, stretching, softening, or wear around the buckle holes
Natural variations in leather grain, texture, or color
Water, sweat, humidity, or UV damage
Scratches, cuts, burns, or accidental damage
Damage caused by misuse or improper installation
Any changes that naturally occur as leather ages over time

A quality leather strap is made to age beautifully, not to remain unchanged. The unique character it develops through everyday wear is part of what makes it yours.

Return Policy

At Two Stitch Straps, every leather strap is individually handmade to order according to the specifications you select. Because each strap is crafted specifically for you, it is not a stock item that can be returned to inventory.

If you have any questions about sizing, compatibility, or configuration before placing your order, please contact us at info@twostitchstraps.com.
We're always happy to help you choose the right strap for your watch.

Leather Straps (Handmade to Order)

Due to their handmade, made-to-order nature, leather straps cannot be returned or exchanged simply because you changed your mind, ordered
the wrong size, or prefer a different color or leather after delivery.

However, if we made a mistake with your order, or your item arrives damaged or defective, please contact us within 14 days of delivery.
We'll gladly resolve the issue by offering a repair, replacement, or refund
where appropriate, at no additional cost to you.

Please note that natural leather is a unique material. Minor variations in grain, texture, and color are part of its character and are not considered defects.

Rubber Straps & Nylon Straps

Rubber and nylon straps are standard products rather than handmade-to-order items.

Unused and unworn rubber or nylon straps may be eligible for
return within 14 days of delivery, provided they are returned in their
original condition and packaging. Items that have been fitted to a watch, show signs of wear, or have been modified cannot be returned.

Original shipping charges are non-refundable. Customers are responsible for all return shipping costs, as well as any duties, taxes, or customs charges associated with the return.

EU Consumer Rights

If you are purchasing from the European Union, your statutory consumer rights remain unaffected.

Under applicable EU consumer legislation, the right of withdrawal does not apply to goods made to a consumer's specifications or clearly personalized. As our leather straps are individually handmade to your chosen configuration, they generally fall within this exemption.

Before Returning an Item

Please contact us at info@twostitchstraps.com before sending any item back. Returns sent without prior authorization may be refused.

HIGHEST QUALITY ITALIAN LEATHER

All of our straps are handcrafted using the finest quality Italian calf or shell cordovan leather, known for their exceptional durability, suppleness, and aesthetic appeal. As our straps age, they develop a distinct patina that adds to their character and charm.

LEATHER SKIVING

The skiving process results in a refined and streamlined product by reducing the thickness of the leather. This enables the leather to bend and flex more easily, making the strap more comfortable to wear.

STITCHING DONE BY HAND

Our straps are stitched entirely by hand, adding a personal touch and creating a truly unique product. The careful stitching ensures that the strap is not only secure, but also enhances the strap's visual appeal.

SMOOTH & POLISHED PAINTED EDGES

We utilize a meticulous multi-step process to finish our edges. Each edge is carefully sanded and coated by hand with multiple layers of edge paint, resulting in a smooth and polished finish that enhances the overall look and feel of the strap.

QUICK RELEASE SPRING BARS

We offer the option of including quick release spring bars with your strap, making it easy to change without requiring any special tools or expertise. These spring bars are designed for convenience and efficiency, providing a hassle-free solution for swapping out your strap.

PREMIUM SIGNATURE BUCKLES

Our signature buckles are crafted from high-quality stainless steel, ensuring durability and longevity. Everything from the buckle pin to the body is crafted from solid steel (not folded steel). We offer the option of choosing between a brushed or polished finish, allowing you to select the perfect pairing for your watch.
