Careful when buying NOS laminated straps. I remember buying NOS laminated straps made by Silva of Italy, and they delaminated on me when I tried to thread them through a pair of pedals. It seemed like the glue holding the leather and plastic layers of the strap just dried out from age and gave up the ghost, the moment any stress was put into them. Felt really bad as the straps looked really nice, otherwise Tried to reglue the layers back together, using all sorts of glues, but none of them worked to keep them together and the straps just delaminated again, after I tried to reinstall them. They must have used a heat activated glue and a high pressure press back then to glue them together.....
