GreeneKing Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 (edited) Here's a pair of straps made from vintage car upholstery vinyl by Couch in the USA. [url="https://www.couchguitarstraps.com"]https://www.couchguitarstraps.com[/url] The shortest length hole to hole is 100cm and they go very long indeed! In great condition with no damage at all. The blue/grey strap is made from a classic Mercedes old stock vinyl and I think, from memory, that the rust coloured strap is from something like an old Pontiac Firebird vinyl but don't quote me. Comfy at 2" wide. These would be about £55 each to buy individually from the States. £40 each delivered to the UK or £70 the pair.

ead Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Gosh, I confess to never having given a thought to the need for this type of product for our more humanitarian colleagues. Ashamed of Chorley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashamed of Chorley. [/quote] To be honest, it's a great strap with an interesting concept, using vintage car vinyl sourced for the purpose. The whole vegan thing is kinda secondary. It looks pretty cool and it works well and it's different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
