NEIGHBORHOOD Canvas Strap – Canvas straps for your watch have been all the rage in menswear the last couple of seasons. With a few bucks, a tiny screwdriver, and 5 minutes, any watch can be refreshed. For the most part, these NATO or ZULU canvas straps have been solid in color—with an occasional stripe thrown in the mix. NEIGHBORHOOD wants to spice things up with a NATO canvas strap made with an aggressive tiger camouflage pattern. The strap is currently modeled with a Rolex Submariner, so there will be at least a 20mm width strap, but there is a good chance other sizes will eventually become available.
