This "Concho" strap is created in our studios with top of the line leather, and backed in high quality suede. We oxidize our own hardware and we've blackened and rusted the nickel conchos so they look old and distressed. This strap is cut at two and a quarter inches wide and the backing is glued on before we sew it, so there's just about no possible way that you could tear this strap apart. We actually weave the conchos onto the strap with a one piece lacing, so you can roll this baby up and smash it into your guitar case a kajillion times and never lose a concho.
