    I use Sully's Straps made by Pat Sullivan in Weikert Pa for mandolin and guitar straps. His vintage leather straps are really fantastic. Plus, he will customize your size for perfect fit. I tie mine around the body underneath the fretboard.

    I bought a roll of leather lace at Hobby Lobby. I didn't measure it but it's probably about 1/8" square. One roll produces a number of mandolin straps. I used a 5 string flat braid that I discovered on the Internet. All in all, it's quite inexpensive and it works fine.

    I recently received the Pinegrove Leather UK MS50 strap for my new Pava A and I love it! I also have a strap from Sulley Straps that I received for Christmas for an F style that I have since sold. Now I'm using it for my Collings MT. It's a great strap too. For the value, if I was to order another strap it would be the Pinegrove. Great piece of leather.
