Romanian General Purpose Strap, Surplus

General-purpose straps made of leather are becoming quite rare but now you can get them again, for a while at least. This time Romanian ones, short and long. One-off batch, so when these are out, it’s all gloom and doom again.

Use

The general-purpose strap is your friend. You can attach all sorts of things to all sorts of things with these. Old-time outdoor folks and DIY wizards should hog a bunch of these because leather straps tend to break in tough use.

Size info

These straps come in two sizes. The short ones are usually c. 26 cm (10.2") plus the buckle, and the long ones are usually c. 70 cm (27.6"). The width is c. 2 cm (0.8"). Because this is surplus, the measurements can vary to some extent. In the longer ones, there can even be a 10 cm difference.

Condition

Used Romanian military surplus. Some of these have seen more, some less use. There can be some scratches, dents, and dirt on these. The leather on some of these has become hard, so you should grease them properly before use.
