Three Strand Secret braided Wrist Band

The most common reaction I get from people who have never seen secret braiding before, is for them to try to unravel it to work out how it was done! The next thing that usually happens is they fetch it back to me to re-braid it, be warned, there is a knack. These items come in several sizes, adult male, adult female, teen, and child. They are made from approx. 2.5mm vegetable tanned  leather, except for the child size which I thin down (skive) a bit to around 2mm or they look a bit chunky. Colours available are Natural (N) chestnut (C) brown (B) red (R), green (G) and black (Bl), and the bands are finished all over with a neutral wax polish, which tends to darken the leather slightly, if you prefer it you can have your wrist band un-waxed. Natural, and chestnut seem to be the favorite colours. Usually they are fastened with a "ring spring" press stud which is more than up to the job, except for the child size which has a lighter duty press stud. You can also have this item pre-distressed, which involves machine buffing the band with a darker polish, this darkens, smoothes down the edges, and gets rid of the "new leather" look, giving the band a rich patina, and that "lived in" look.
