Ostrich Leg Skins in Current Stock:
Ostrich Leg Skins in Current Stock – If American Alligator is the King of exotic leathers then to my mind, Ostrich Leg skin is surely Queen. Ostrich Leg shin is strong soft and very durable and shows incredible patterning with large scales and small grain pebbling, which results in a unique and visually compelling strap. Based upon the success of our SuperMatte Alligator and SuperMatte Teju Lizard, we have collaborated with an Italian Tannery to develop this great finish in Ostrich Leg skin. We Currently offer this finish in Carbon Black and Deep Atlantic Blue and expect to be adding additional colors in the future. The SuperMatte Ostrich, like its Alligator and lizard counterparts, is extremely durable, has a great hand feel, and is highly water-resistant.
Navy SuperMatte Ostrich Leg Skins:
Our below reference Deep Atlantic Blue SuperMatte Ostrich Leg Skins have become so popular with our customers that we’ve decided to add a darker color version, which I have named Navy SuperMatte Ostrich Leg. This, I think will be especially welcome for those customers whose watch has a darker Navy-colored dial. This color shows a bit of black between the scales which gives this color a really great two-tone effect.
Deep Atlantic Blue SuperMatte Ostrich Leg Skins:
The Deep Atlantic Blue SuperMatte shares the same gorgeous finish as the Carbon Black, but in a deep blue that while dark will not be mistaken for Black and has not a hint of red, which is an issue I have with many Navy Blues – sometimes they are so dark, they can be mistaken in some light for black and sometimes, they show a hint of red or purple which I don’t like at all. No, Andrea and I searched for weeks for just the right color to provide a sample, and have provided it, our tannery matched it perfectly! Needless to say, I could not be happier.

Navy SuperMatte Ostrich Leg Skin:
Navy Blue SuperMatte Ostrich Leg skin: Based on the success of our recently introduced Deep Atlantic Blue SuperMatte Ostrich Leg skin referenced directly above, I have decided to add a new Navy Blue SuperMatte Ostrich Leg. This new color really adds a great new darker blue color option to the mix for those seeking a wonderful blue strap.
This is a new material for us, but already I have straps on order from this great new Navy blue option, so I will be posting up some photos as soon as I’ve completed a strap.
SuperMatte Carbon Black SuperMatte Ostrich Leg skin:
The SuperMatte Carbon black is perfectly finished deep black with not a hint of shine and a beautiful hand that is wonderfully tactile. This is the same finish that I so love that we offer in both Alligator and Teju Lizard. Due to the nature of the SuperMatte finish, the skins used must be essentially flawless, as any imperfection or flaw in the surface of the leather will be amplified when finished in SuperMatte. As a result, these Ostrich Leg skins are quite an expensive proposition. We, however, think that our customers will find that extra expense worth it. In addition to fully custom straps, we offer a limited selection of beautifully handcrafted Pre-made straps from this material in our Webshop in 22mm lug width

Cigar Brown Ostrich Leg:
I’m very happy to share with you these newly created ‘Cigar’ Brown Ostrich Leg skins. I’ve been hunting for a nice deep brown Ostrich Leg skin for a while now without finding just the right one. And so, I’ve decided to give it a go myself, and here are the happy results. I cut our Ostrich straps on an angle that I find offers the best and most interesting look starting with pebble grain at the lug, transitioning to the large shin scales in the upper portion of the strap, and then transitioning back to pebble grain at the buckle interface.
