I've been looking for a nice strap since my old leather Gibson strap got swiped from the studio I was using. Found this and thought I'd share...

Bear Straps

Thanks, Chris.

Yes they look fantastic. I've been meaning to get one for ages.

John_P · September 2013

Thanks for that - they look very nice.

I'd also look at hypnotic

I've got a couple and they are great quality and cheap but double check the lengths - I like the idea that Bear will make them to the length you need.

Bear straps are definitely the best i know of, gorgeous leather. Rupert Breeden, who hand-makes them, is a top bloke. I've always ordered direct but I think GAK stock them

The website needs Flash, so doesn't work on a tablet. Not clever.

Looks great. I'd also recommend a local guy to me, Martin Pryce (his brother Syd is tech for McCartney & Mick Ralphs fact fans).

Superior quality leather straps used by Beck, Gilmour & Angus to name a few:

no Flash on my work pc, no Flash on my mobile. Yes, people who have commercial sites shouldn't make them hard to access ( some much bigger names than Bear guilty of this).

I've just got a great strap (Slimline Classic with extra length as requested) and great service from Rupert, couldn't be happier with it. Great value too. Well worth checking out.
