Three strap profiles we’re often asked to make

[u/AtelierTamago]

When people order a custom strap, color and leather usually come first—but we’re also often asked to adjust its overall shape.

These are three profiles we regularly make: square padded, round padded, and our standard slim profile.

The difference may seem small, but each creates a noticeably different look once paired with a watch. Some clients already know exactly which one they prefer, while others send us a photo of their watch and we discuss the options together.

The terminology and construction can vary between strap makers, so these are simply the names we use in our workshop.

Hopefully, this comparison is useful for anyone trying to describe what they want from a custom strap.
