Who do we like for leather straps these days?

rsvmark

My favourite strap supplier appears to have ceased trading so who do we like for decent quality leather straps? Prefer to go for a small UK business if possible. A bit annoyed at myself that I doidnt look at stuff in the guitar show now....

Pinegrove do some nice work. They were at the Brum show with a large selection.

OK, probably not in the same league as Heistercamp or Pinegrove, but not as spendy either.

I have a couple of Pinegrove straps. Their quality is superb.

I’ve had a lot off eBay and they’re usually made by somebody called leathercraft probably in Liverpool . The standard Jimmy page, slash types

I've got 3 heistercamp ones and they are very rugged and comfortable.

Looked at the heistercamp website today. Irritating lack of any kind of decent, close up photography of the material; “webbing” could cover a multitude of sins and I’d like to see what it actually looks like

IME this is a problem many strap companies have. The straps look good in photos till you actually see one up close. 

From my perspective, expensive leather straps are not worth the money at all. Much rather have a decent neoprene one --- both comfier and cheaper.

Heistercamp usually have a lot of metalwork on them. However, I use Heistercamp Catalyst which are plain but great quality. Need to sandpaper the edges first and then treat them with something like neatsfoot oil to soften them up a bit. The double ended ends mean you don't need straplocks. Also has a handy keeper for your guitar lead.

Not had a strap, but bought a belt from Heistercamp for my wife. 

Quality is superb, and they were great to deal with.

If you want to be posh and boutique Slash & Joe Perry use ones made by Red Monkey

Another vote for Pinegrove here, I bought one at the Guitar Show and it's brilliant quality and comfortable.

The Pinegrove solid leather no-metal ones are very nice. I recently nabbed a black 3" one for my bass and it looks great and feels fab. 

Also a big fan of Bear Straps, if buckles are your thing.
