Christophe Special. Was the price reasonable? Reputable brand? I kind of just went with what was cheapest, but your pics are quite informative.
...Cristophe was, for a long time, the go to guys for these. So should work fine if sized right.

With a road clip like that, it's important that the strap have enough body (stiffness) to maintain an open loop.
A lot of the cheapest black nylon ones don't any more. So look for something more durable than leather, but about as stiff.

When you have your first instance of pulling up at a stop light, realizing you forgot to unclip, and falling over in slow motion, remember this thread.
