A true “vintage style” strap with the rounded ends, double strap slots, and full perimeter stitching. Unlike the originals, this one lacks the deadly metal buckles, cheap leather, and sloppy fitting cookie cutter strap slots. A nice size and nice weight for the acoustic guitars although it would certainly support the electrics or Mastertone style banjos.

Shoulder Piece Size | 12" long by 2 1/4" wide. |
Shoulder Piece Leather | Floppy soft and supple harness leather. Hand shaped rounded ends and fully burnished edges. |
Shoulder Piece Stitching | Artificial sinew hand sewn into hand punched needle holes. Stitching goes around the full perimeter of the shoulder piece. |
Shoulder Piece Distressed Level | Medium. A little surface wear with no checking, cuts or scrapes. Could easily pass for a strap from the 60’s. Still into Dylan and PP&M? |
Shoulder Piece Notables | The hand cut and shaped double strap slots grip the rein strap tightly and the shoulder piece will hold its position on the strap unless intentionally moved. Fully lined wall to wall on the bottom with new suede leather. |
Strap Style | Western Rein |
Strap Width | 5/8" |
Strap Leather | Very nice quality harness leather with a color mirroring the shoulder piece. Soft and supple with dressed and burnished edges and slicked smooth on the back side. |
Strap Distressed Level | Medium with a lightly aged character. Like the shoulder piece, this leather has seen some action in a past life but is in great shape. No checking and rock solid leather. |
