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.
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.

Haveston's Canvas Series straps use a one-piece layout with an innovative secondary floating keeper that manages excess length without requiring a full fold-back. The result is a cleaner profile on the wrist compared to traditional NATO-style layouts.
The double-layer canvas construction gives these straps a firmer, higher-profile feel than lighter fabric options. They wear with more structure and visual presence, holding their shape rather than collapsing once secured. Fit remains adjustable and forgiving, with the strap settling into a stable, secure position that emphasizes durability and controlled wear rather than a slim or minimal profile.

Splash resistant, suitable for light moisture such as hand washing or rain.
Clean with a soft, damp cloth as needed. For heavier soiling, hand wash with lukewarm water and a small amount of mild soap. Rinse thoroughly to remove residue. Avoid prolonged water immersion, chlorine, and harsh detergents, as these may accelerate wear or discoloration. Allow the strap to air dry completely at room temperature before wearing.
