I'm sure an old leather belt would be just as good, if not better, for making a guitar strap. http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/2YQcqr/www.ecouterre.com/5-ways-to-recycle-an-old-necktie-into-a-last-minute-fathers-day-gift/ Maybe a tad uncomfortable with a heavy bass though.

I stopped using animal products about a year ago...It's tough to find a good strap that doesn't use skins. A plus is jeans legs are wide (that tie looks like it could dig in after an hour). Has anyone tried those beaded wood straps that look like a car seat accessory from the 70's? jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 2978 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Tuesday, June 26, 2012 - 2:15 pm:    Canvas would be strong enough to make a decent strap from.
