Who makes a nice vintagey skinny leather strap?

Jimmy Page style.

I have a great tan Heistercamp strap....

I’ve had some from Merseyside off eBay under £20 leather raft or something

there is a few on ebay by various sellers. no idea of the quality though. surely a strap that thin would dig in and get painful after a while.

Do you reckon that strap is the type with a separate wider part that’s just slipped down his back?

merlin

I think mine's an Arch Tor.

I may no longer need it.

Yeah, Heistercamp are great. I think the Arch in black might do the job.

Most skinny straps seem to have a shoulder pad.

That looks uncomfortable to me, especially with a weighty Les Paul.

But more importantly it looks cool

This!

Doesn’t look so cool when the strap button tears out of the flimsy end of the strap and the headstock hits the ground...

I had a Rickenbacker strap like that, and I would never have trusted it with a guitar the weight of a Les Paul, or even most Ricks.

maybe he's got a wedge on foam underneath the shoulder of that flowery blouse

True, but a perfect schadenfreude moment.

Pinegrove Leather - I have a couple of very skinny ones from them - great quality and lovely people.

Bear straps are good!

Well, I've seen a few really nice ones like the red monkey Page strap is a good example. Even though it's thin it's still comfortable.

Sorry @dangriffiths ;, for some reason I only just saw this. How about I chuck it in with the Brothers & faves?
