My custom strap finally arrived.
I had it made 79" (200 cm.) which is perfect for my length in order to center the buckle. (I'm 6'4", 192 cm.)
The buckle is from Haversaw and as you can see it fits perfectly and looks great.
Whadya think?
Once again it all comes down to lighting, the non flash and with flash are quite different, the middle picture is closest in actual colour.
Can I ask a related question? What colour is generally used for the rivets / chicago screws? I have a bag & NH strap coming sometime soon, so I'm curious about small details like that.

I'm not sure but on my WPG strap they were all brass.

The strap alone cost me abot 17 Euro, about $18. The Chicago screws only came in a pack of 8 so that with the shipment brought the price up a bit too.
Ask Haversaw if he has got any left, I think ge got them from Tandy leather.
Here are the pics I promised.
The buckle is thinner than the WPG one and does not have the "bent down" middle section. ( : )
I don't know how the Keppler and Howard buckles are designed, but I'm totally happy with this one.
That's the buckle I ordered for my strap. I got it from A+ buckles. It does look nice on the strap. You might think it may be flimsy but it is stamped steel so it is fairly tough.

He posted the link pre-crash and I called them up and in a week or so I recived a little bag of free buckels.
