White Oak selvedge denim is woven on true vintage looms, using sixty years old technology. It gives the fabric a unique character that can not be duplicated on modern weaving machine. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> It was only a matter of time until, my leather and this denim would meet. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> A few months ago, a watch collector asked me to make a strap for the Panerai 382. The PAM382 is the first Panerai made with a bronze case, drawing it's inspiration from a nautical theme. Bronze was the metal of choice before the introduction of stainless steel. <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">Typically it only oxidizes superficially; a layer is formed and the underlying metal is protected from further corrosion.</span> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> I have been asked to reproduce the strap and decided to make a special run of 8. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> Since the first buckle was provided to me by the owner I had to find to find someone able to machine a bronze buckle. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> I found a small custom machine shop. They specialize in manufacturing and repairs of boat shaft and propellers and are willing to take on the task to make a limited amount of buckles. </span><br />
