Buckles and straps?

sells sets of three for $11, $5 postage in the US, good price, it seems. They come in only one size, 1.25 inches, and have four holes. The buckles look nice, but the edges of the straps look as if they might be rather roughly cut, from the photographs.

I occasionally make straps and such out of leather. You can use Fiebing's Tan Kote to seal the edge and back of the strap or Edge Kote to seal just the edge and eliminate the fuzzies on the straps. I usually just wipe on a coat of Tan Kote to cover all surfaces - front, edge and back. See http://www.fiebing.com/default.htm for manufacturer info; their products are usually available at your local craft or hoby shop.

From the pictures, it looks like the straps edges are cut smoothly - it's just the fuzzies on the back of the strap peeking out beyond the edge. They'd probably get smoothed away by normal wear after a time as well.
