I have always wanted to try one of SNPR's straps as reviews of Joe and his straps have always been excellent, so in Jul 2016, I placed an order for a Horween Wheat Scritto Strap, because I was intrigued with the patterns on the strap and that no two straps are alike. Furthermore, from the photos online, it seems that his straps are very soft & pliable, like a piece of cloth where if you lay it over an item, the leather conforms to the shape easily.
As Joe does all his straps himself and not outsourced, waiting times for his customised straps can range from 12 - 16 weeks, yes... up to 4 months. But since I had a few others straps

, the wait didn't bother me. Ultimately, I waited 7 months for mine, with a bit of a hiccup where I requested for a strap without any buckling holes punched and he shipped one that was punched. I did not really mind but when I tried it on, the "right" buckling hole position was between 2 holes that was punched! So I reached out to Joe and he sent a replacement strap to me as soon as he could, hence it took a "bit" longer than expected.
Specs are:
- 24/24mm
- 125/75mm
- Single floating wide Keeper
- Open stitching
- Raw, uncut/un-burnished sides
- Brushed Pre-V SNPR buckle
Soft & Pliable

Love the "graffiti" writings on the leather strap, makes my other leather straps look plain. Softest leather strap that I owned, conforms to the wrist instantly, no need to season the strap beforehand. Only downside to having such a soft strap is that the very first time you wear it, more often than not, there will be scoring of your buckle where it meets the buckling hole.
