I ended up buying a Heistercamp Spectrum as a test to see if I could find something that was as good as my, now falling apart, stars that I've had since the early 90's.
The fact that I have since ordered another 6 of them might tell you how happy I am with them.

Football is rubbish.
I have 2 or 3 Levys plain cotton ones which are simple and flexible and nicer than nylon/polyester, and I have a Souldier on my strat, but while I like the idea of them I'm not a fan of most of their designs.
Recently I've got a Heistercamp leather one for the CS336 which is nice but a smidge too stiff. I assume it'll get more flexible as it gets used.
And I'm a big fan of Copperpeace, with 3 of theirs. All are really good, but the "Vintage Mays" and Herringbone models are my favourite 2 straps in the world. Super soft leather, comfortable, flexible, really well made, and great to look at
The yard is nothing but a fence, the sun just hurts my eyes...
Red leather back, jaquard front with a multi colour block pattern. No name or hints about who made it. I’d love another.
I tend to keep my straps matched to a particular guitar rather than switching between them.

This purple one is actually darker than the photo, and is a perfect match for the purple burst on my Spacehawk:

Recent finds that have been cost effective and cool are Perris:

And dog days straps:

The dog days in particular is fantastic quality.

just sew a tube, invert it, and slip it over. strap buttons stop it coming off. if it needs a wash ever stick it in the machine.
re the union jack strap maybe it's generational (eg if your golden era is britpop or mods etc) but the union jack has a pretty dodgy rep around town now, maybe like it did for a lot of the 1970s.
i wasn't even born then so am going by what i have learned about that era from books and docs, but it seems nazi skinhead types (not the cool skinheads) and football hooligans wrapped themselves up in it much as certain negative extreme right-wing groups now are doing, with the same associative effect on that symbol.
if you are just trying to reference the who and get heckled for being a ukip scumbag, you will understand what i mean. some symbols come with a baggage you can't control.
