We've been waiting for about 4 years to source some good recycled military-issue syle seatbelt material at Couch. When we finally got this stuff back to the factory we quickly sewed some into a couple straps and a couple people here laid dibs on 'em immediately. Notice this heavy-duty military-issue style material has a "3 Bar Weave". It's also our widest seatbelt material to date, just barely, but perfectly, sitting in our custom forged metal slides. By the way, people are always trying to match their strap color with their guitar. Really that's fine, but you don't HAVE to do that. Look how good this army ("olive drab" as they call it in the industrial supply realm) strap goes with the sunburst pattern on this Custom Shop Fender Stratocaster for instance- brilliant.
The Plain Black Vegan Eco Strap (in Army!) has always been a best seller at Couch. It's simply the best-made, best-looking, most functional vegan guitar strap available anywhere in the world at the best price. Know also that we've thoroughly considered how this product relates to the world around us, not only by making this strap cruelty free and vegan, but by using 100% recycled seatbelt materials, and making this USA made strap sweatshop free, locally here where we live, in Los Angeles, California.
This finely made simple strap is our finest industrial design accomplishment to date and it's a great affordable strap for you guitar. For less than $20, it's also a great gift for all your guitar playing friends.
Instead of the cheap nylon webbing most mega-production Chinese-made strap makers use, we use recycled automotive seatbelt webbing that that will never break, looks great, and adjusts extra easy and smooth. We also cut the strap about 6 inches longer than the average guitar strap for those who are bigger or who like to play low.
We then sew on our own special vegan end-tabs that are die-cut and made of heavy duty automotive upholstery vinyl on the outside, and further strengthened by another layer of super sturdy and flexible carbon fiber cloth on the inside of the strap. Like all our vinyl straps this guitar strap also has a trio of handtooled stainless steel rivets on the back tab and the front end tab is sewn on with a sturdy x-box stitch for an ultra sleek look and now features sewing around the keyholes for even more strength.
Pictured on the main seatbelts page, leaping through the air with his bass, is Ollie Dean from Sheffield, England. Read his testimonial on these straps off our testimonials page where he says "Totally strong and quality so I don't have to worry about it failing on me when I'm playing live, and of course it's ethically produced without horrible animal skin!" Exactly!
This strap is also available in Black, Navy, Blue Green, Industrial Orange, Industrial Silver and Classic Maroon
Made in the USA.
