Canvas Strap recommendations - can't find the perfect one.

I have a 16570 Swiss Only dial Explorer II and am currently trying to find the perfect strap for it.
My ideal strap is basically what I have on the watch at the moment, but just very slightly thicker.

wolbrook.com/collections/nylon-straps/products/one-piece-green-nylon-strap

While the Wolbrook strap is nice...
  • It's a little thin at 1.5mm and the watch heads tends to "flop" around a little bit. Would prefer something very slightly thicker that would hold the watch more securely in place.
  • The leather currently on the watch, while genuine, does not feel like like the best quality - and im guessing the strap itself might last a couple months if I put it through hard use.

These are my requirements:

  • Single Pass Strap
  • 1.7-1.9mm thickness canvas
  • Preferably canvas / leather strap keepers - metal is fine if all else fails
  • Olive / Khaki Green
  • Length: 270mm
  • Lug width: 20mm
  • Preferred with leather reinforcements on the holes, but not necessary

If anyone out there knows where I can find a strap like this do let me know, I've been looking for months but can't find one.
Also happy to hear of strap makers who might want to explore building this strap for me, as it's a strap my Explorer II will live on for a long time.

Yes but for some reason did not order - let me look into their specs again! [emoji1320]

How about Khaki Field Mechanical's strap?
Unfortunately, it's a double pass, but if you don't mind cutting and melting, it's a good option.

I wonder if Wolbrook is the OEM for these straps because it looks almost identical to what I currently have from Wolbrook!
