Brooks has been splicing their tape for quite a while now...at least for 5 to 10 years. That was one of the draws for the Adarga tape for me. It’s cut from a single piece of leather.
Leather tape is tough but I’m not sure it’s as tough as F.U.B.A.R. tape. The shiny orange tape in this picture is F.U.B.A.R. and it’s about 10 years old with 10,000 to 15,000 miles on it. I don’t know if I can destroy it

Unfortunately, F.U.B.A.R. went out of business and you can’t get it anymore. That may have something to do with everlasting tape
