Product Description
This plaid orange, red, and green Dupioni silk custom handmade guitar strap is unique and strikingly different, colorful, and classy! The back lining of the guitar strap is crushed fire engine red crepe satin and the leather tabs are black premium suede leather.

Plaid has become more and more an in-demand pattern for my custom guitar straps but I try to avoid mundane, conventional patterns and fabrics. This is a most unconventional guitar strap.

The iridescent quality is characteristic of Dupioni silk, which is spun by two silk worms occupying the same cocoon. Their silk threads weave together but because each silk worm produces a slightly different colored thread, the interwoven threads take on a subtle shimmering quality. Dupioni silk is an unusually sturdy, durable fabric that is the perfect combination of strength and elegance.

My guitar straps are amazingly comfortable. The 3 inch width allows for weight distribution over 50% more area than conventional guitar straps and even solid body bass players have commented on how comfortable my guitar straps are. Further, because there are 3 bottom layers of fabric between your shoulder and the polypropylene foundation, there is a soft cushion to help further distribute the weight of your guitar without holding the body heat that standard lamb's wool shoulder pads retain, so your strap is soft, cool, and comfortable. No more aching neck or shoulder and no more pressure points.
Inspiration/Story Behind This Product
The best guitar straps are the ones that grab the light, twist it, turn it, and change with it. I love these kinds of fabrics because they contribute so significantly to stage presence. I hope you like this strap!

LEATHER TABS - The leather tabs are comprised of a 3 inch by 8 inch section of top quality leather, folded over a commercial grade plastic anchor bar and trimmed to shape. The two sides of the leather are then glued with commercial strength tanner glue and double whip stitched with heavy waxed leather sewing thread designed specifically for stitching leather. The button hole is hand punched and cut to precisely fit a standard 12mm guitar pin.
