These are great inexpensive straps. I own a black and air force gray strap. While, they look cheap, the leather ends are just as strong as any other. Also, the Cordura is tougher and more comfortable on your shoulder than a typical nylon strap. The only negative is that Dimarzio made one end, on each strap, too small for my strap buttons. I had to enlarge them myself. If you like your strap to slide around while you play, this one won't, it likes to stay put. But, I like that, so I consider that to be a positive. I definitely recommend these straps to other guitar players.
