DIFFERENT LEATHER TOLERANCES
If you are replacing your front straps after many years, it is likely that the leather will be a little different in colour to the leather on your bag.
Firstly as a natural product there is variation between batches - we try our best to keep the colours of our leather within a set of tolerances, but as leather is a natural product it can be very hard to keep colours consistent to match something from many years ago. Leather does change in colour slightly over time.
USING FRONT STRAPS
Our front straps open and close using our Quick Release System. The front straps can be pulled up from the tip and go up and off the brass clogball attached to most of our bags.
Many of our bags have buckles, but this is just for fine tuning the capacity inside the bag. You do not need to take the front straps off the buckles every time you use them, this is only for occasional adjusting. Because of this, it should be very difficult for you to lose your front straps.
