The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the type of hide, care and frequency of use. A quality vegetable-tanned strap, with regular use and proper maintenance (kept away from prolonged exposure to water and perspiration), can last between two and five years. Alligator or shell cordovan straps, owing to their denser and more resilient hides, tend to offer greater longevity.
