This orange paisley silk handmade guitar strap is absolutely overwhelming in its beauty, color, and detail. The top fabric is crisp, brilliantly colored Assam silk imported from India and brimming over with classic Indian imagery including huge paisley emblems, tiny lotus blossoms, daisies, curling ferns, leaves, temple silhouettes, and countless geometric shapes. The colors include pumpkin orange, light and dark turquoise, golden yellow, purple, and light and dark green. The front half of the guitar strap displays large and small paisley icons and, as you move to the back of the guitar strap, the pattern changes to include more floral and geometric images so that the guitar strap's front is different from the back. It is a subtle but eye catching change and very atypical of patterned fabric. The top silk is underlined with pumpkin orange Duchess satin to enrich the surface color and the back lining is light turquoise Duchess satin. The leather tabs are soft, thick, burnt orange suede. This guitar strap is simply breathtaking.

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.

When I had the opportunity to buy and import the many beautiful silks you see in my studio, this particular silk was so dazzling, so intricate, I just had to buy it. I hope you like it.

CONSTRUCTION - The guitar strap foundation is 3 inch wide (7.62 centimeters) and 6 foot long (1.83 meters) 2000-pound test commercial grade polypropylene strap material. The strap adjusts from a maximum length of 6 feet (1.83 meters) to a minimum length of 39 inches (.99 meters).

STITCHING - All the stitching on this guitar strap is done by hand. Whip stitching runs the full length of the strap on both sides, anchoring the top and bottom fabrics to the polypropylene strap material foundation.

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.

VEGAN OPTION - You may purchase this guitar strap as a vegan guitar strap for an additional $10.00. If you would like to buy this strap with vegan tabs, please let me know. I will invoice you separately for this. Also, please allow an additional one-day delivery delay for this modification.
