Alex, the founder of British strapmaker Haveston, is fueled by a passion for horology and history. Throughout Haveston's varied and growing portfolio, its designs are defined by a focus on the honest utilitarian character of vintage military industrial equipment used by service personnel for aviation, space exploration, combat and other purposes.
If Haveston's commitment to continuous refinement and innovation is any indication, we can expect much more from the company -- with one underlying idea. According to Alex: "At the end of the day, it always comes back to that service-driven purpose, regardless of whether that is to your community, family, or the world. Having a little reminder of that on your wrist is quite special."
Haveston's Bakelite-F canvas strap, in deep vintage brown with matching stitching, is inspired by the pioneering Bakelite material synonymous with vintage 1940s design and its wartime use in grips, receivers, typewriters and bezels. It features a comfortable, low-profile A2 single pass strap configuration, and a floating keeper for easy and secure stowing of the period-appropriate chevron tail.

I ordered this strap wanting a nice olive drab, military style strap. For $29, I was somewhat skeptical of it being justified. But I was pleasantly surprised upon receipt and wearing it for 1 day. Initially, I thought it would be stiff and uncomfortable, but it loosened up quickly and is very comfortable to wear and I have worn on a daily basis for over a month now. The hardware is well made and substantial, and the stitching is very well done and has held up through sweat, stretching, and dirt. I could not be happier with it, and I do feel it justifies it's price. God bless!
What a great strap for the money! I'd pay $60 for it. It's very comfortable and built like a tank. Haveston is one of my favorite strap maker's out there. Just buy it!
