Beautiful silk broadcloth defines this striped custom handmade guitar strap. The front surface of the guitar strap is covered with silk broadcloth woven with both narrow and wide gold, black, and brown horizontal stripes. The back of the guitar strap is lined with dark brown Duchess satin and the leather tabs are rich brown suede leather.

Silk broadcloth is one of the most sought after and elegant fabrics on the market with a subtle, shimmering luster all its own. It is a straight simple weave of medium weight, soft and crisp to the touch, and is used primarily in the making of high end customized silk suits. This is an utterly unique guitar strap, classy, luscious, timeless.

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.

I have tested several different kinds of silk fabrics for their durability and this is one of the most resilient fabrics I have ever worked with. It is substantial without being dense, crisp without being stiff, soft without being fragile. It really is a most remarkable material.
