Heistercamp Straps - worth it? Alternatives?

Hattigol

After a new strap. needs to be black leather, chunky not skinny, and padded. It's for my Gretsch Falcon but I'm struggling to find any suitable Gretsch ones.

Fancy a Heistercamp but £92 for the one I want seems crazily steep. Are they worth it? Anyone know of anything similar but better value?

All reports about Heistercamp is that while they're spendy they ARE good value... but maybe look at these...

I've got 3 Heistercamps - yes, they are that good - worth the outlay IMO, the quality is outstanding and unless I lose one or finally join that Glam band where I need a studded Pink Leather strap I can;t see me ever buying another strap - they'll outlast me..

Heistercamp are awesome. It'll be made to order, by hand, presented well, lifetime repair guarantee...and you'll get a little fluffy cow key ring ;-)

But do they do a vegan-friendly strap .....

I have 3 Heistercamps- recommended by members of this very forum.

They are very well made and I'm extremely pleased with them.

I've got one and have since bought a belt (used every day) and wallet. The guitar strap was bought in 2015 to replace a leather Fender one bought around 1995, which got used a lot but I couldn't find one like it for another guitar - http://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/34161/heistercamp-guitar-straps-pic-added.

I'm happy with what I got.

Another reccy for Pine Grove from me.  They had a stand at the Haydock Guitar show, and I picked up a leaflet, which got me 10% off the price when I ordered one.  I think they may still be doing 10% - I'll dig the leaflet out if you like.

*edit* free postage too! 

*edit 2* for a Gretsch you might prefer one of their two-tone GS60 straps:
