Elephant Watch Strap??

OK, i have been getting a lot of elephant stuff lately. Mainly wallets, boots, and belts. I love the look and feel of elephant. Does anyone know of a strap maker who makes straps out of elephant? I think it would look great on my PAM 104.

As long as it comes from legit sources ( ie, from the culling of them ) then it's all good.


Still wrong though.

as far as I am told, the elephant must die of natural causes before its hide can be used for goods.

I am sorry if I offended anyone here. I see no problem using elephant for leather as opposed to other exotics like ostrich and crocodile.

Pretty sure that if it is methodically culled, then it's alright to use.

whale foreskin is my absolute fave at the moment... my dog's drinking bowl is covered in the stuff, looks awesome!

The most luxurious is of course to get the foreskin as a single piece (no stiching).. those are better adapted for belts than wristwatches (perhaps baby seal foreskin might be feasible).

Either way, you can't go wrong, animals were made to be worn!
