New Flat Nylons
New Flat Nylon guitar straps up this week, with a half dozen or so additional colors on the way in the coming days. Nearly every component has custom options---tab color, hardware color, and even stitching---so you get to put together the strap you want. As always, each strap is one hundred-percent hand made sans machines. Awesome is the word.

Lee Ranaldo / Pitchfork
Cool, quality piece with Lee Ranaldo by way of Pitchfork. Lee's HOLMES Black Handmade Canvas strap is present. Be sure to watch through the end of the credit roll.
Megafaun + Justin Vernon
From the department of strange irony: Justin Vernon of Bon Iver made a surprise appearance with Megafaun in Wisconsin a couple of weeks back and used a HOLMES strap---the custom carved MEGAFAUN on Phil Cook's guitar.
HOLMES at Loren
For anyone living in or visiting NYC, Loren in Brooklyn carries a small selection of HOLMES wristwear. Loren is a cool dude and sells his own lines of handmade jeans out of the shop. Definitely worth a visit.
