Pateburry?

Saw this today at cycleexif and it looks very nice! https://patebury.com/kangaroo_leather...roduction.html

The big question is if the strap will hold the shape after extended use...anyone used one?

They're laminated with a non-leather inner so they should hold up well. All my old school laminated straps have.

Ah nice! Didn't even knew that there was leather straps like this. Should be a good option to use track pedals like the sylvan.

No, at $125 even if the straps held their shape my wallet would be flat.

Straps with buckles like that are kinda dumb IMO. If you're between sizes they'll always be either too loose or too tight.
