Crown & Buckle offers pass-through straps in various styles, and two-piece straps (made from leather, nylon, or canvas).
Width: Their most popular models are made in widths of 18mm, 19mm, 20mm, 21mm, and 22mm.
If you need a strap for watches with 16mm, 23mm, or 24mm lug widths, then Crown & Buckle got you covered, but the offering is not as extensive.
Material: In short, they use nylon, canvas, braided perlon, and leather to produce their straps.
Let us elaborate a bit more about their nylon. It's not that stiff, coarse, and uncomfortable one you've experienced with cheap natos.
Crown & Buckle's nylon is very soft and super comfortable. It does not feel "plasticky", but rather like a piece of fabric or canvas. Kudos to C&B for perfecting their nylon material.

They are true pioneers of the watch strap industry. Constantly innovating and improving. And never compromising on the quality of their products.
People are copying C&B products. That's how you know the company is doing great stuff.
By the way companies: do not do that. Copying sends a message that it is acceptable to infringe on someone else's ideas or designs, which can ultimately shut-down creativity and progress.
To buyers: please support those who are true innovators and have original designs, companies like Crown & Buckle.
I bought my first Crown & Buckle nato in 2013, and ever since they are my preferred choice when it comes to buying pass-through straps.
