grosgrain watchbands?

[Miles Borocky]

Anybody wear these? I currently wear navy and gold (my alma mater's school colors), though I realize they may suggest a temporal popularity that doesn't fit with the 1930s-40s aesthetic favored by many here.

I like them, and have one on my Timex. I'm going to make an order from Central Watch soon to have a rotation.

 

[Miles Borocky]

Thanks, Alan. I should check out Central Watch. And I dig your Weather Report album cover avatar too.

GROSSgrain

During the preppy/preppy revival period grossgrain
watchbands with school/regimental colours were
standard fair.

For some reason I remember the edges of the band tended
to fray the threads on your oxford button down cuffs
