strap is nubuck, according to the AD, so you appear to be correct that

Nice!
And I think your JV strap is actually the proper size! Mine is a mm or two too wide, but it fits (barely).
Great start...
I have had my 338 before and I chose the exact same strap of yours...it is the famous nubuck strap that you don't find in other brands. Agree with all the merits you stated but over time I move onto something bigger. Joseph
