Hi William, we’re sorry to hear the Sailcloth hasn't been comfortable for you. While sailcloth can sometimes require a little 'break-in' period, it sounds like this one just isn't the right fit. We sent an email offering a replacement in a different material, so please take a look at your inbox—we'd love to find something you'll actually enjoy wearing!
“My OEM Breitling Avenger and IWC Pilot nylon straps were looking worn and frayed just days old. The problem with nylon is that it frays easily. Sailcloth is such a better material for watch straps. It wears much better and still looks brand new after weeks of use. The Barton straps are excellent quality, surpassing that of straps costing significantly more. Very happy with my purchase and wish I knew of Barton earlier before wasting a lot more money elsewhere on lower quality replacement straps.”
“The strap itself is very nice. A little firm, but that’s ok.
My only criticism is that the strap loops began to fray around the edges immediately with almost no use.
For the price I’m happy with the value, and the strap feels high quality, but the loops really let it down.”
