This strap is crafted from an exceptionally rare 14-ounce Loomstate Cone Mills denim, sourced from a pair of Bravestar selvedge jeans. Like Strap 1, it comes from the renowned Cone Mills White Oak plant, but it is even more "raw." Loomstate denim is completely untreated—unsanforized, unsinged, unsoaked. Just raw denim straight off the shuttle loom. This strap is made from a deadstock pair of unworn jeans that were made for only a few months back in 2019 when the company had some leftover White Oak denim still in stock. It is supple and slightly heavier than Strap 1. Since it was soaked before cutting and sewing, it will not experience significant shrinkage if submerged.
Denim #2
*These straps are hand made in the United States by a single expert craftsman one strap at a time. As these are bespoke, made to order straps, please allow 4 weeks for delivery from your date of order.
** All raw denim will shrink slightly when washed and return to its former length with wear. Note that hotter water will cause greater amounts of shrinking.
*** These straps are all made to order to your specific instructed measurements. Please give us your lug width as well as your preferred 6 o’clock and 12 o’clock lengths in millimeters. If you are uncertain of length specifications, you can use the following as a rough guesstimate, however, you will need to specify your lug width at check out.
