Arrow & Board vs. Bexar Goods?

[Unprocessed1]

I really like the leather bands offered by both Texas-based companies, and it seems like their bands are incredibly similar in terms of look, design, and high quality leather.

The only thing I'm curious about is why Bexar is significantly more expensive than Arrow & Board. Am I missing something?

Good question.

Former use Wickett & Craig leather and Bexar perhaps Horween ? Latter is hand made and A&B made in batches....Bexar might also heave more clever marketing

You should compare them and take a good look at finish and feel but also hardware. Optimal fitting of the lugs is essential
