    I am into watches and like most watch people I like the variety available in nato style straps. I have particularly large wrists (~9") and most straps dont come even close to fitting properly, if at all. I coincidentally also have an industrial sewing machine that I use for making/reparing marine uphostery. I thought I should start making my own straps to fit my wrists and my own style. Does anybody know of a source for fabric webbing that comes in metric sizing? ie 18-22mm widths?

    Based on their website it appears they only carry the 1/2” -2” non metric stuff..I’m looking for 18mm and 22 mm stuff in particular.

    There’s lots of places online to get inexpensive NATO style straps in any of the metric sizes and they have nice prints and patterns, but I can’t seem to find where those places get their stock from!! I’d like to start with a classic James Bond style NATO pattern in 18mm for a citizen diver and a timex watch I have
