The leathers used are principally vegetable tanned or show a natural finish, except some leathers called exotic.

​

  • Is it possible to order a strap in a cartridge belt of our own ?

​

Cartridge belts, particularly the Swiss ones, are great substrates to realise straps. Nevertheless, several criteria have to be taken into account :

  • Their state of conservation has to enable a strap creation: they don’t have to be cracked and their fat level has to be high. 

  • The grain has to be like a fat and unstretched surface, with a varnished aspect. 

  • The markings have to be distinct enough in order to not disappear during the strap design work.

  • The leather crust doesn’t have to show major defects like scars or a lack of homogeneity (similar to knots in wood pieces). This would generate risks of rupture.

It is possible to create one or several straps in a cartridge belt of your own. 

However, I will be able to determine its state only by disassembling it and by starting the slitting work (leather refining). If this cartridge belt can’t be used, a fixed price of €20 will be applied for the slitting work and the expertise work to evaluate its state.

I can’t be held responsible for a leather defect and the cartridge belt rupture. The return by tracked parcel will be charged as well.

You can contact me to obtain a piece of advice on the state of your cartridge belt and a quote.
