Nice leather guitar straps?

Fishboy7

Can anyone recommend me a supplier of high quality leather straps?   I’m looking for something a bit fancy possibly with tooled leather / patterns / tassels etc.

Agreed.  Heistercamp straps are excellent.

Sweet! They look just the thing.

+1 for Heistercamp, checked them out at the guitar show and was very impressed

Heistercamp. You also get a little bag of goodies with your strap and a handwritten thank you note. Love the little details like that

I'm not sure if these are high end enough but I spotted these Mojo Race Straps in Feline Guitars the last time I was there and they're really well-made and the colour schemes look great

I’ve got the Gilmour one - it’s really nicely made - he does plenty of other designs too:

I bet that looks ace with the Sunburst Strat!
I know you've had it a while but I've only just made that connection.

I've recounted the story before but briefly, in 1980, Aged 8, my Dad took me to Rushworth & Draper in Liverpool to look at guitars. In his MkIII Cortina, we played 'Wish you were here' that day on cassette and on the way there we obviously had on 'Shine on you crazy diamond'.
When we got there, I had only been playing for a few months and could barely hold down chords so he played and he played what we'd just been listening to in the car on a sunburst Strat with a maple neck,... quite well too.

That was my first experience of electric guitars, guitar shops and what "Cool" meant.
From that day onwards I've always associated the song 'Crazy Diamond' with a sunburst Strat, so even though I'm now no fan of maple necks and I don't really like sunburst these days, I still bet that strap looks good on that guitar!

Sorry for banging on about the past.

Heistercamp look great but the options & measurements confused the hell out of me!

Not leather but I recommend AirStraps - UK company and some stunning weave/patterns on them

We have loads of great straps in - the Mojo Race appeal to my love of motorsport themes , and they mean we keep some animal product free straps for those who want those, but we have some lovely leather ones too

It doesn’t actually match the guitar that well - but I saw DG at the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester on the ‘On An Island’ tour and coveted the strap from there on in. A great night - Richard Wright on keys, so half (and arguably from a musical stand point - the most important half) of Pink Floyd.

I have a couple of Heistercamp straps and a couple of their belts.  Expensive but high quality.  Should last a lifetime (mine at least!).

I also have a couple of Corvo straps - shame they're not around anymore.

Barefoot Leather straps are nice too.

I've got two Heistercamp straps and you really cant go wrong they are great!

I also noticed these on another thread - look good too:
