26mm Baseball Glove Watch Strap Crown Red Stitching Panerai Kaventsmann Ennebi

Up for sale is an incredible, all handmade 26mm Baseball Glove Watch Strap.

The glove used for this strap was a super soft vintage Crown baseball glove.  On the pic of the glove, you can barely see the Crown logo near the palm of the glove.  

This baseball glove strap measures 26mm (no taper), 125 mm x 78 mm x ~ 5.2 mm thick.  I hand-stitched this strap with red Tiger thread - the best waxed polyester thread available.  The buckle side features the writing “Grip Pocket” and “Finger Up Lacing”.  The long side features the “Professional Model”.  The strap comes with one large floating keeper.  If you prefer, I can make a keeper that uses the leather from the glove, with two X’s on top, aka “Two Strikes” as seen on some of my other straps.  Edges were burnished smooth.  The first hole is 50 mm from the lug end.  Extra holes can also be punched.  

The strap comes with a stainless steel custom Mott screw-in Pre-V style buckle.  I also have bronze buckles, which can be exchanged at no additional charge.  If not specified, the strap will ship with a steel buckle.

Why Baseball Glove Straps?

 Baseball gloves are soft, thick and only get better with time. What better material to make into a watch strap?! The glove and thus the strap is soft yet durable and has acquired patina and character during its lifetime.

The strap is made 100% from the glove it came from, making each strap a limited edition!  Mott Straps is the only strap maker using the glove for the entire strap - even the bottom layer.  You get the look and the feel of a baseball glove with a Mott Strap.

The softness of glove leather makes the thickness work well on any watch, but especially with larger watches such as Panerai, Kaventsmann, Ennebi, etc.
