Hi everyone....just received my Kain Heritage leather strap for my Magellan. Its black calf skin with charcoal grey contrast stitching. Chose that to pick up the carbon fiber dial colours...looks incredible.

I am so impressed with Kain Heritage. The strap comes neatly tucked in a slender carrying slot which slides into a larger carrying case...which is ideal when travelling...you can carry adjustment tools like a spring bar remover or screw drivers...very nice touch IMO.

The leather and PVD buckle have the Heritage logo etched into them as well...another nice detail.

If you haven't checked these straps out...I would definitely give them a look...quality and finishing is superb. I know this will be the first of many straps from Kain for me, personally speaking.

Just thought I would share.

Kain Heritage ships a leather strap inside 2 outer leather containers??? Why?

Not sure why they do that..the smaller inner one contained the the actual strap..but I think the larger one can serve as a carrying case for another watch or tools....I found it odd too..but I know I can put the larger one to good use.

But the strap is itself just oozes quality.

....oh by the way...the inside sleeve and out case are not leather...vinyl is more like it....but as I said..they will come in handy when travelling

Strap looks great Antoine!!!

I have a few straps from Kain, and agree with you...the quality is fantastic. Regarding the packaging, my thoughts were the same as some others as the packaging for each strap is way over the top IMO (I ordered 2 at once and each came doubly wrapped in this extensive packaging).

I would frankly rather have less packaging, with some cost savings passed on to the consumer, but I cannot fault their straps as they are top notch, and seem like good value given the excellent quality.

Enjoy that killer combo!

Thx stew and skipdawg...yes the packaging is over the top and we as consumers would gladly accept a little discount in lieu of the extra packaging that's for sure.

But I can't deny the quality of the strap..excellent stitching...top grade leather and overall great workmanship.

I will definitely be purchasing another...especially when Jason from Halios gets those Laguna's in...the waiting is driving me
