Or: I have a guitar strap I made from an old cowboy belt that I—uh—outgrew. Hand-tooled and the whole bit, like an Eldorado. Speaking of which: El Dorado

Love my Lakota flat braided strap.

I weave on top of buckles or remove them to make the strap mandolin friendly.
I have some old horse bridles too, very soft, they often throw them out at the big stables.
One strap I have is for an old 12 string guitar.
And it even still smells like horses, how cool is that!
People tell me, ‘what’s that smell ?’ And I say it’s horses and then they say it’s cool.

Won't you come home BILL Bailey, won't you come home ? As the song says, Bill Bailey straps are the one !
Not sure if he is still in business (website appears to be down) but Bobby Poff makes amazing straps. Primarily known for his dobro straps, he used to offer a full array of fretted instrument straps. Many consider his straps to be second to none.

D'Addario and/or Planet Waves make a plain flat mandolin strap. Available in brown or black. I have several, they do the job well.

Tammy Davie, Davie Leather and Braid makes some really nice custom mandolin straps. A little on the pricey side, but very nice straps.

Our mistakes weren't quite so easy to undo
But by all those roads, my friend, we've travelled down
I'm a better man for just the knowin' of you."

Lakota Leathers makes some nice, round braided straps. I really like the look and feel of them. And if you read up on the website, they actually do help out the tribe. If you need a strap, why not do a good deed at the same time?
A quarter tone flat and a half a beat behind.
I carry some dental floss...Just in case.
