seems like plastic with the approximate properties of a 2 liter coke bottle would be flexible enough, but keep the leather rigid.
I'm thinking a big bootstitch straight down the middle of the strap.
Hmm that's a good idea. Maybe even just stitching right into the strap. That would reinforce the glue. Why doesn't anyone make a laminated strap that is stitched along the sides? Like those toe clip covers.
