The straps are quite nice, but I don't see them keeping with your goal above. They don't look like aviator or military issue to me.
Thanks for the view, Mike. Glad you raised it. What I meant in my write-up was the cherry-colored leather which I saw on one of my researches. The cherry strap I saw had olive-drab/military green canvas lining sewn on the inside of the strap. Going gator, as shown, is a temporary experiment just to see how the look would hold.
Still searching for the perfect red/cherry strap.
