Strap - leather or suede substitute?

[lozbass]

Just a quick one - does anybody know of manufacturers of non-leather (but leather or suede) type straps?

I have a couple of Alembic branded Moody straps (the Hippie sandwich leather and suede style - 4" width) and find them to exceptionally comfortable in use - much moreso than my Comfort Strapps. However, I'm fairly strictly vegetarian and prefer to avoid the use of leather (I'm certainly not trying to start a fight about the merits or otherwise of vegetarianism here). If anybody knows of a strap maker that uses very supple and soft, but durable and strong leather or suede substitutes, I'd be extremely grateful. Cheers!

As soon as vegan/vegetarian is mentioned, these guys spring to mind - [url="http://www.couchguitarstraps.com/products_all.html?zenid=520si3omn999i2m00n6ddb9ua1"]http://www.couchguitarstraps.com/products_...9i2m00n6ddb9ua1[/url]

I use Couch straps for all of my basses - they're very well-made indeed.

Would genuinely buy one of these.

I reckon smoked streaky with a maple glaze would be good.
Build a pancake bass, lacquer it with maple syrup. Japanese electronics, they're made of chocolate anyway.
