I recently got a strap all the way from Australia. The strap maker ([FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Chantal Cordey)[/FONT] has also made a number of items for movies, including Crocodile Dundee and Mad Max. You'd think that this one was made with Mr. Dundee in mind. I have no idea how she works the leather over, but it came to me rolled up in about a 4" circle. This one extends to 53" long and is 3.5" wide. I asked for the strap holes to be designed for strap locks, so those fit right on.
From the "Leather Artist": [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]This guitar strap is hand embossed by me, the pattern made to mimic crocodile skin belly leather. It is embossed on a 2.5 mm thick vegetable tanned cowhide. It has a kangaroo lacing braid stitched through the leather on the edge of the centre strip. [/FONT] [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The guitar strap is lined with a cowhide suede which is hand stitched (no sewing machine used) right around with a good quality thick nylon cord. [/FONT]T[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]he adjustment is by way of 2 metal hooks as used in my “0” series straps and the peg holes are reinforced underneath with Kangaroo leather and stitched around for extra strength.[/FONT]
