This strap does not slip at all and for me that’s perfect. Without this strap, I would experience neck dive. The leather is thick and supple, and I love the colors. The cream is awesome.
I bought one strap and loved it. Bought two more!
The craftsmanship is amazing, they are durable and look so good!
Great strap. !! I have 8 assorted colors for different color combo’s. Used a leather hole punch to enlarge end holes to accommodate schaller straplocks.
Love my Italia guitar straps! I have four: quality built, very comfortable, and very stylish! The best there is!
These have recently become my go-to straps. I like that they offer a suede back because I prefer a more grippy feel over a more slippery material. I usually snag a few when they put them on sale - I have 4 already and have my eye on a few more. On my last order, I even made a special request (for slightly longer tails) and they were very accommodating which was super nice of them. The 54" max length on the "long" version is okay for most of my guitars but with my Les Pauls but I prefer straps that are closer to 56" long. These straps are very well made, have great color choices, and they seem like they will last forever. They smell great too! They are fairly thick so trying to install Grover (older Schaller style) strap locks can be a bit tricky - it really helps if you can somehow pre-squish the leather around the holes. My main method is installing a super thin washer with the strap locks first then after a few minutes I'll swap that out with the washer that originally comes with the strap locks. Or, I've even just omitted a washer and just used the hex nut for a few minutes, then added the washer.
Purchased two straps - different colors. Extremely well constructed leather products. Coloring looks great on each. New leather smell that adds to the enjoyment of using. Very comfortable across the shoulder. Straps are much thicker than most on the market which adds to the comfort, but can be a challenge to attach on the endpins. No room left to add a rubber lock washer, but seems to be firmly attached once wrestled onto the pin. So much better than any other strap I've tried.
I bought it as a gift for a friend again.
This leather strap has very good quarity and good looking. I love this brand products.
Giving a red gift for the "Kanreki" (60th birthday) celebration is meant to wish the recipient an uneventful and healthy life.
We will reunion the band and play some music with my friends I hope.
I hope he will use it for a long time to come. It means enjoying music with happy long life.
This time I bought it as a gift for a friend.
In Japan, when a person turns 60 years old, he or she celebrates the "kanreki" (60th birthday). The color "red" is used for the kanreki celebration. Red is said to ward off bad luck and evil spirits, and red was used for maternity clothes in the olden days. Giving a red gift for the kanreki celebration is meant to wish the recipient an uneventful and healthy life.
I searched and searched, but I couldn't find anything more suitable for my guitar-loving friend's kanreki (60th birthday) celebration. I hope he will use it for a long time to come.
I bought the Standard Model, thinking that it would be a standard length. I hadn't thought about guitar strap length in years--just always bought a normal strap. Whoops! These straps are short! With it at the very longest possible setting, my guitar is still slightly above where I would have it in a seated position.
This is unfortunate. Check your strap lengths before ordering.
Wearing this strap is a joy they’re soft, comfortable and adjustable. I own 5 of these, different colors to match different finishes. They also store easily in most cases. The sales are great, you can spend more you can get fancier but they’re not any better.
Because they're simply worth it.
I've now ordered five bass straps from Italia Leather Straps, and every single one has been outstanding. The leather is beautifully finished, incredibly comfortable, and they support even heavy basses with ease during long playing sessions.
The craftsmanship is excellent, the designs are tasteful, and the quality is consistently top-notch. Every strap I've received has exceeded my expectations.
When you keep coming back to buy the same product from the other side of the world, I think that's the best review anyone can give.
Highly recommended! 👊
This is the second of two 4” straps I purchased from Italia Leather. See pic of both below. The first was the Elite (see review below). This one is suede-backed. Again the high quality design and construction are evident in all aspects of the strap - leather quality, construction, thread and stitching. This is a strap for life! The 4” width distributes the weight of my Les Paul evenly, eliminating back discomfort, it looks and feels great - especially during long sessions! I highly recommended it!!
If the smell of these straps when you open the package isn’t enough, you will like the quality of them, I promise.
I bought my first couple of Italia Straps in 2006 on e-bay. They have been my go to ever since. These truly are straps for life. Since (mostly) shifting from guitar to bass, I really appreciate how the 4" straps spread the weight on my shoulder and they tend to stay in place, although I don't have instruments with neck dive issues. I bought the strap featured in this review specifically for the Sterling (by MM) SUB Stingray 5HH pictured here. The Black and Cognac really looks good on it. The leather is so substantial and yet, incredibly supple. I generally use the 4" straps on my basses due to the weight, but I decided to use a 2.5" Rossa/Black strap for my Fender MIM 2021 75th Anniversary Player Jazz Bass and it works great on this somewhat lighter instrument. When I purchased my Washburn Force 4 ABT bass on e-bay in 2006, I bought a 4" Suede Italia Strap for it and they have been together ever since. I would definitely consider getting another suede strap if they were ever available again.
I have bought a few 4” Italia straps over the years and am very happy with them. Comfortable, durable and I like the look/the shape/how the leather is cut. :D
