But I won't know what to do with that extra "tail". Any suggestion?

Pity...Did you ask the girls to check other outlets on your behalf?

And the rest of the straps, did any other caught you eye?

According to reliable sources, the materials for their cotton / linen straps (including the tweed) are from Fossil's left over materials from their staple products (like bags, inner linings, etc).

If so, no one strap is alike. I'm thrilled.

Yeah, make sense. Rather than disposing those wastages, its smart to convert into usable stuffs.

GXGX. Quick show off your Tweed Strap on your 22mms!

Folks, it sure seems like the Tweed is popular. I confirmed it's already sold out in ION & 313.

Nice. Saw the Tweed the other day but got the black bund instead. Fossil straps so far so good.
