Chinstrap looks good. Where did you obtain the leather strap?

From someone on eBay who does lengths of leather strap. I did a custom order of a length 20 inches long and 18 mm wide. It proved to be slightly wide when it arrived, so I shaved the edges down slightly with sandpaper.

 

The mid-brown colour comes from a coating of neatsfoot oil and then leaving it in the sun for a few days.
