Box stitching was what I should say, the default. I make my own straps because I want them to be time correct. I prefer to use the correct materials too (or with the right look). Like pigskin and lizard. Some examples can be found on this forum. Maybe I should make a “how” to one day.

Straps are generally max 2mm and dont have padding. And have many small (saddle) stitches.
