Unless you already own one of our straps, you've likely never seen a guitar strap of this quality. Our "X" guitar strap is handcrafted with the most supple and rich oil-tanned leather you've ever seen! We use only top of the line leathers, and Jeri hand-picks every piece of leather we work with. She's a stickler for the best possible feel, weight and finish, so our guitar straps are not only beautiful, they're built to last a lifetime. For this leather guitar strap, we start with a stunning piece of brown oil tanned leather. We torture it a bit to distress the finish. The strap is cut at two and a quarter inches wide and backed with high quality suede. We glue the backing on before stitching it on, so there's just about no possible way that you could tear this strap apart. We embellish the strap with suede leather lacings, front and back. We add our own oxidized brass adjustment buckle on the back, giving you 9 inches of adjustment space. As with all of our guitar straps, this strap is just as beautiful from the back as it is from the front. You may want to measure your current strap before you place your order! To measure, just lay your strap flat and measure from the center of one peghole to the center of the other peghole. All of our guitar straps are created with top of the line, soft and supple leathers, and are hand-crafted in the US.
