Please recommend a good quality leather strap for my S4 Watch?

Here it is. The leather is not soft as I wanted but I guess some wear will make it flexible. I'm ok with it.

I have this from Clockwork

No complaints and they shipped really fast

I'm probably going to eventually get a darker brown

That's the one I have... either in a darker brown, or perhaps mine just got darker with time. I've had it for about 3 years and still wear it quite a lot. The brushed steel matches the silver aluminum watch case very well, and the adapter lugs are really nice. I think it was a bit stiff at first, but like the Brooks leather saddles on my bikes it softens with age. Hard to beat the price. I don't know if they still do it, but I also received a coupon for a discount on an additional band from them.

Yeah, I was wondering if I should wait for it to patina.

Mine wasn't that stiff at all. I was pleasantly surprised. I even forgot to change bands for the gym and had no problem wearing it or sleeping with it.

I wish I did received a coupon. There's three more bands I've been eyeing on the site.
 
Update guys the leather on both was hard not soft so I returned both etsy n cw. I’m looking around now.. thinner leather bands softer

Lot of the thicker bands are initially very stiff, even some of the expensive bands. However within a week or 2 (depending on how much you wear) will significantly make it much more softer. The chameara band I bought was almost too stiff when I first bought the it. However after few weeks it’s very comfortable and soft.
 
Hi john which chameara band you bought? Thanks!

I’ve been planning to get another third party leather loop (had one that lasted about a year... which is fine for $20.00). The photo for this one you posted shows bare metal lugs where the band slides into the watch case. Most of the photos posted by buyers show the leather covering the attachment lugs. What does yours look like?
