HOLMES spotting / The National
Pleasant surprise, cracking open my copy of The National's new record, Sleep Well Beast, to find a HOLMES S2 nylon strap photo'd on Scott Devendorf's bass. Incidental, but a fold-out poster is forever.
This will be my favorite thing for a while.

Cranking it up this early summer, and another new strap design is in the books and available. Flat nylon, all black, all rivet construction, with a couple of very nice details. Pretty sweet, if I do say so myself.

Fobs!
New in the shop. Three fob colors. Two hardware colors. Mix and match. You'll have the coolest keys on the block.

Good times in the design department fueled by caffeine and 'Wings Over America' on loop, and the result is another new strap in the shop. Buckle front with 2"-wide midsection, 1"-wide riveted ends, and customizable buckle + rivet options.

New strap in the shop today. Based on the straps Pete Townshend used throughout the late 1970's. I changed a couple of construction details and gave it three variations, but it's pretty faithful- especially the Holes version, which was Pete's main user during this period. All are 1.5" wide and have a buckle back.

Testify!
I recently compiled some nice things people have said about my work over the past few years and put it up on a new page on the site with the header: Testify! I’m also going to take the opportunity to thank anyone, known or unknown, who has supported what I do. As someone once said, this shit ain’t easy, and there are more than a few who have helped to make it do-able at all...and at times even quite pleasant. Thanks everyone.
Red
So, yes---it's true. There is a first time for everything, and after all these years I finally got to dye a floral pattern in red. Looks better than amazing and it's now an option for this belt in the shop. Available as a color option over the range of leather guitar straps as well.
