Need a strap for a strat

Vinylfan

Hi
Looking for a strap for my strat and was after some suggestions for what might go well it - its a Fender AmPro in antique olive, black pickguard and maple neck.  I was going to get a plain black one, but thought I'd see what else might be out there that goes with this set up.
Any suggestions welcome - don't want to spend a fortune on it though and probably would prefer no metal buckles.

Cheers

Look at couch guitar straps. Not the cheapest but great quality...nice people and cool designs. Ive got quite a few (one being olive green funnily enough). They dont have leather buckles either

I really like Levy's cotton webbing and suede straps

Thanks chaps, will check those out.  The antique olive on the AmPro is such a specific colour that most things would clash with it, apart from black!  I had thought of trying to find a jacquard pattern that was mostly green based as well.

Heistercamp straps are really lovely and quite a wide range of colours.

or just an ordinary Fender one, why pay more?

I'm having a look at those too.  Just wanted to see what other options may be out there for something a little different.

Because it's Christmas and at our age we have run out of things to ask for!

Decent Fender ones aren't that cheap:

The ones you normally see are only 2" wide.  You might get away with it on a Strat as long as it's not some overwight late 70's monstrosity, but it will always be more comfortable with a wider strap.
